The stock ticker symbol for Abercrombie & Fitch is ANF.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ANF. The company became publicly traded in 1996 after The Limited took the retailer public. “ANF” is derived from the company’s name rather than from the shorter fashion shorthand “A&F.”
A common mix-up is confusing the corporate ticker with brand abbreviations. A&F is widely used in company names, logos and conversation, but it is not the stock symbol. AFC and ABF are also plausible-looking abbreviations, yet neither identifies the company’s NYSE-listed shares.
The company is headquartered in New Albany, Ohio, and its portfolio includes the Abercrombie, abercrombie kids, Hollister and Gilly Hicks brands, along with newer brand offerings such as Your Personal Best. Its ticker therefore represents the parent company, not just one store label.
