What happened American Eagle (NYSE: AEO) shareholders lost ground to the market on Monday as shares fell as much as 6% by 10 a.m. American Eagle's business would be sensitive to any demand swing away from consumer discretionary categories like apparel, and that fact has investors more worried about its short-term growth prospects in today's inflationary environment. CEO Jay Schottenstein and his team this week will add detail around that forecast and explain whether the same trends that have hurt other retailers' earnings outlooks in recent reports are also impacting its business.
