American Eagle (AEO) Down on 6th Straight Day; Ex-Dividend Date Looms

We recently published 10 Stocks Investors Are Dumping. American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE:AEO) is one of the worst performers on Monday.

American Eagle fell for a 6th straight day on Monday, slashing 6.97 percent to close at $15.76 apiece as investors shifted funds into higher-yielding assets such as artificial intelligence stocks amid the company’s lack of fresh catalysts to spark buying appetite.

However, a technical buying is expected to occur by Friday, October 10—the last day to own shares to be able to receive $0.125 worth of quarterly dividends, payable on October 29, 2025.

The dividends followed the American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.’s (NYSE:AEO) second-quarter earnings results, with revenues dipping 1 percent to $1.28 billion from $1.29 billion in the same period last year. Net income also finished flat at $77 million.

For the third and fourth quarters of 2025, American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE:AEO) is looking to book a growth of low single digits in comparable sales, but flat on a full fiscal year basis.
