US EditionAmerican Eagle stock jumps after Trump praises Sweeney ad campaign
UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – American Eagle Outfitters' stock surged 4.1% after Donald Trump praised its Sydney Sweeney ad, marking its best performance in 25 years, analysts say.
- Earlier this year, U.S. President Donald Trump praised American Eagle Outfitters' ad starring Sydney Sweeney, causing shares to jump as much as 16%, their largest intraday gain since May 12, 2025.
- Amid this year's downturn, through last week's close, shares declined 36%, despite recent positive reactions to Sweeney campaigns.
- Following Trump's post, American Eagle Outfitters shares rose 4.1%, then fell nearly 30%, while he called the ad `HOTTEST ad out there`.
- In the short term, traders chase hype, but whether this translates into more American Eagle products sales remains unclear for days, weeks or quarters.
- Online viewers countered that critics are reading too much into the ad, despite debates over whether focusing on a white, blonde woman invoked eugenics, after Trump praised the campaign.
