Benson Boone Rockets Up iTunes Following His Losing Night At The AMAs
Benson Boone didn't take home any trophies at the 2025 American Music Awards, despite earning several nominations in some of the biggest categories. While he might not have snagged some hardware, he has emerged as one of the event's standout success stories in the day following the showing — at least in one respect.
The pop singer sees multiple titles soar on iTunes following the program. Boone was in attendance and performed his current focus track 'Mystical Magical' on the main stage, and that appearance has paid off.
Boone is now just one spot away from ruling the iTunes Top Songs chart in the U.S. His single "Mystical Magical" jumped to the runner-up position the day after the event. At the moment, it's blocked only my 'Ordinary' by Alex Warren – which was also showcased during the televised event – from hitting No. 1
Boone currently occupies two slots inside the top 10 on the list of the top-selling tracks on iTunes. His breakout smash "Beautiful Things," which has been selling well for more than a year now, lifts three spaces to No. 6. Although he didn't perform the tune during the ceremony, it was featured in host Jennifer Lopez's opening medley, alongside more than a dozen other tracks.
Two other singles from Boone's upcoming album American Heart are also performing incredibly well on iTunes in the U.S. The third and most recent track shared from the project, "Momma Song," is present at No. 11 at the time of writing. Meanwhile, "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else," which introduced his forthcoming second full-length, bolts several spaces and currently sits at No. 25.
Boone has only released one project so far, and it's a bestseller once again on the iTunes Top Albums list following his major moment at the American Music Awards. Fireworks & Rollerblades returns to the top 10 and becomes a strong performer once more. At present, it appears at No. 9, lifting more than 10 spaces from where it sat just a short time ago, before fans began buying it in droves once more.

A&F Stock: Earnings Soar, But Why The Slump?
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 09: A Abercrombie & Fitch store is seen on April 09, 2025 in New York ... More City.

Santiago/Getty Images) Abercrombie & Fitch's (NYSE: ANF) Q1 results surpassed expectations on May 28, resulting in a 15% increase in shares. After the market opened on May 29, the stock retreated to $83, remaining 44% below its year-to-date peak and lagging behind the S&P 500's 0.6% increase. This discrepancy underscores the company's robust operational performance amid macroeconomic challenges, tempered by investor apprehension regarding adjusted margin and earnings projections for FY 2025. In the last three years, ANF stock has more than doubled—from approximately $35 in early 2022 to almost $85 today—driven by a 155% increase in earnings per share, from $4.20 in 2021 to $10.69 in 2024. This momentum continued into Q1 FY25, where the company achieved EPS of $1.59 on $1.10 billion in revenue, exceeding expectations of $1.39 and $1.07 billion, respectively. Although earnings growth has been remarkable, valuation multiples present a more conservative picture: the trailing P/E ratio rose to 11x in 2024 but has since decreased to 8x, despite improved fundamentals—reflecting investor concerns regarding sustainability and external risks. The resurgence of the company's namesake brand hasn't happened by chance. The company has redesigned its stores, broadened its market appeal, and focused on digital and global expansion. Sales of the Abercrombie brand grew at an 18% CAGR from 2021 to 2024, outpacing the company's overall growth of 10%. Hollister reported an 8% CAGR, boosted by Gen Z enthusiasm and a more robust women's collection. Operating margins sharply increased from 9.2% to 15.0%, while a 15% decrease in shares outstanding contributed to a dramatic 155% jump in EPS, significantly outpacing revenue growth. See Abercrombie & Fitch's Revenue. Nevertheless, Q1 results presented a mixed scenario: Abercrombie brand sales fell 4%, with comparable sales down 10% due to reduced pricing and challenging year-ago comparisons. Conversely, Hollister achieved its eighth consecutive quarter of growth—sales increased by 22% with comps up 23%. The operating margin settled at 9.3%, lower than last year's 12.7% but above expectations. Inventory value rose by 21%, positioning the company for a stronger second half. The full-year guidance has been adjusted, with EPS now forecasted to be between $9.50 and $10.50 (down from $10.40 to $11.40), and operating margins revised to 12.5%–13.5% (from 14%–15%). The primary factor: $50 million in tariff expenses expected to reduce margins by 100 basis points. With no plans for broad price hikes and a flat outlook for average unit retail this year, ANF anticipates 3%–6% net sales growth in 2025, with increases expected across all regions. Management is enhancing shareholder returns through a $1.3 billion stock buyback program, having repurchased $200 million in Q1 with $1.1 billion remaining authorized. The fluctuations in ANF's stock have been significant: +71% in 2021, -34% in 2022, +285% in 2023, and +69% in 2024. The notable decline in 2025 suggests investor skepticism amid macroeconomic risks and tariff challenges. Nonetheless, with a P/E of just 8x—well below the four-year average of 14x—and robust earnings potential, the stock may present considerable upside if management effectively addresses the headwinds. See our analysis on Abercrombie & Fitch's Valuation for additional insights on what is influencing our price estimate for the stock. Note: Investing in a single stock entails risks. Conversely, the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, which includes a selection of 30 stocks, has a history of consistently outperforming the S&P 500 over the past four years. Why is that? Collectively, HQ Portfolio stocks delivered superior returns with reduced risk compared to the benchmark index, showcasing a smoother investment experience as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics. It is also important to understand that stocks can plummet sharply – 20%, 30%, even 50% –as we've observed during previous market disruptions. No stock is exempt.
