Kettle Hill Dumps Abercrombie & Fitch Stock

Kettle Hill Capital Management recently completed a significant divestment, selling its entire stake in Abercrombie & Fitch during the third quarter of 2025. This move involved offloading 282,366 shares, representing an estimated $23.39 million in value. The filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2025, confirmed the complete liquidation of this position, leaving Kettle Hill with no shares in the apparel retailer.

The timing of this exit coincides with a challenging period for Abercrombie & Fitch stock. As of December 5, 2025, the shares had fallen 22.57% over the preceding year, significantly lagging behind the S&P 500's performance by 38.16 percentage points. This financial performance may have influenced Kettle Hill's decision to liquidate its investment.

Abercrombie & Fitch operates globally, offering apparel and personal care items under various brands, including Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and abercrombie kids. The company utilizes a multi-channel approach, combining physical retail, e-commerce, and wholesale operations to reach consumers worldwide. Despite the recent stock performance and investor exits, the company continues its strategic focus on brand differentiation and international expansion.
