A $100 million tariff refund added $1.75 per share, but even excluding that boost, EPS still came in at $2.42, comfortably above forecasts.\n\nThe company also:\n\nRaised full-year EPS guidance by 27%, from $10.20 to $13.35\nIncreased planned share buybacks to at least $500 million\nReported record Q2 revenue of $1.27 billion\nExtended its growth streak to 15 consecutive quarters\n\nBefore today, the stock was down 26% year-to-date.\n\nOne earnings report erased the entire decline and pushed $ANF to its highest level in 19 months.\n\nSometimes, expectations matter more than headlines.\n\nSource: Trend Spider"
