Part 6/10:
In a surprising turn of events, American Eagle’s stock price has surged more than 11% since last Wednesday, with a notable spike coinciding with the release of their latest advertisement featuring Sydney Sweeney. The commercial, which sparked online outrage due to perceived inappropriate content, has apparently resonated positively with a broad audience.
Market insiders and independent polling indicate that roughly 70% of respondents reacted favorably to the campaign, contradicting the internet’s anger-driven narrative. American Eagle’s marketing team has even reported that part of the proceeds from sales of the featured jeans go toward domestic violence prevention efforts—a detail that many of the online critics overlooked amid their outrage.
