American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE: AEO)
Overview
It was once a purveyor of outdoor gear, but American Eagle Outfitters now feathers its nest with polos and khakis. The mall-based retailer sells casual apparel and accessories (shirts, jeans, shorts, sweaters, skirts, footwear, belts, bags) aimed at men and women ages 15-25. Virtually all of the company's products bear its private-label brand names: American Eagle Outfitters, aerie, 77kids, and MARTIN + OSA. The growing chain operates about 1,100 stores in all 50 US states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Direct sales come from the company's Web site and its AE magazine, a lifestyle publication that doubles as a catalog. American Eagle Outfitters opened its first store in 1977 and expanded into Canada in 2001.
