Like most retailers over the past few months, Abercrombie & Fitch has seen significantly better days. The stock has spent most of 2017 trending to lows under $11, levels it hasn't traded at since 2000.

However, investors have found some upside in the past week, as Reuters reported that the clothing company was working with Perella Weinberg Partners to handle takeover interest. The stock experienced a 12.5 percent jump to above $14 on the news. However, analysts were more pessimistic on the development, as both Wunderlich and Standpoint Research issued a downgrade on the stock in the following days.
