Better Buy: American Eagle Outfitters vs. Gap
American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) and Gap (NYSE: GPS) both saw their stocks crushed over the past year as investors fretted over their slowing sales, declining margins, and supply chain challenges.
AEO's stock closed at an all-time high of $37.87 last April, but it now trades at about $12. Gap's stock surged to a 52-week high of $34.48 last July, but it's now worth just $9 a share. Can either of these beaten-down apparel retailers stage a meaningful comeback this year?
