Big Money Buying Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters sells clothing through three primary channels: retail, wholesale, and subscription. It operates through many brands, including Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, BHLDN, Free People, Terrain, and Nuuly. The company was among a handful identified by analysts as having had good holiday sales seasons. URBN’s focus on customer acquisition, operational efficiency, and digital innovation has driven significant growth.

URBN’s third-quarter earnings for fiscal 2025 saw a 6% sales increase, to $1.4 billion, despite challenging times for many clothing retailers. The Nuuly brand in particular saw sizeable growth, with 48% more revenue (to $97 million) and a 51% jump in active subscribers (to nearly 300,000). URBN’s per-share diluted earnings were $1.10. The company plans to open new stores in the future as well.

It’s no wonder URBN shares are up nearly 65% in a year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
