# Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Urban Outfitters

08:40 AM EST, 03/02/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We maintain our $100 target, based on 17.4x our FY 27 (Jan.) EPS estimate and above its three- and five-year average forward P/E multiples of 11.9x and 12.0x, respectively. We maintain our FY 27 EPS estimate of $5.75 and initiate our FY 28 EPS estimate at $6.25. URBN posted normalized Q4 FY 25 EPS of $1.43 vs. $1.04 in the year prior. Revenues came in at $1.80B vs. $1.64B, $11M above estimates. The company experienced growth across all brands and segments in the quarter, with lower markdowns boosting earnings. By brand in Q4 FY 25, Anthropologie revenues increased 4.3% Y/Y, URBN increased 12.5%, Free People increased 9.8%, Nuuly increased 42.6%, and Menus and Venues increased 5.0%. Q4 FY 25 comp. store sales increased 9.6% at URBN, 5.2% at Free People, and 3.7% at Anthropologie. Q4 FY 25 gross margin expanded 100 bps Y/Y to 33.3% due to lower markdowns at Urban Outfitters ( URBN ) and Free People. We believe URBN is deserving of a higher multiple than its historical averages because of higher margins and growth.
