American Eagle, Minus Martin + Osa = Buy

TheStreet.com

On Tuesday, American Eagle announced that it will shutter its Martin + Osa concept. This highly-anticipated news overshadowed what was a strong fourth-quarter for Eagle.

The news sent shares of American Eagle climbing 8% to $18.52 in morning trading.
All 28 Martin + Osa stores will close, as well as its online business -- moves that should be completed by American Eagle by the end of the year.

This announcement has been a long-time coming, as Martin + Osa has been a drag on American Eagle's business since its inception in 2006. In 2009, Martin + Osa recorded a loss of about $44 million.

Still, it's unclear why the decision to discontinue the concept was so difficult for American Eagle, Wall Street Strategies analyst Brian Sozzi wrote in a note. He plans on inquiring about the company's review process for underperforming brands.
