What's Driving Abercrombie & Fitch's $51 Stock Value?

Reaching highs of around $77 in mid-2011, Abercrombie & Fitch's (NYSE:ANF) stock slumped below $30 in mid-2012. The stock fell because ANF could not maintain its growth rate due to three key reasons: weaker than expected U.S. consumer spending, excessive promotions leading to lower average unit retail prices, and weak economic conditions in Europe.
