Clothing retailer Urban Outfitters Inc. (NASDAQ: URBN) announced after markets closed yesterday that CEO Glen Senk has resigned “to pursue another opportunity.” The announcement indicated that Senk quit a day earlier.

The company named its co-founder, current chairman, and president, Richard Haynie, as the new CEO. The company has been struggling to maintain margins in the face of increasing commodities prices. For the quarter ending in October 2011, the company reported same-store sales off by -7%, and revenues of $610 million missed estimates of $614 million. Gross margins fell by nearly -6%.

Urban Outfitters’ share price fell more than -16% in after-hours trading, to $24.63. The 52-week range is $21.47-$39.26.

*$149 for two years (or $1.43 per week) is an introductory promotion for new members only. 62% discount based on the current list price of Stock Advisor of $199/year. Membership will renew at the then-current list price at the end of the membership term.

Stock Advisor returns are 930% as compared to the S&P 500 returns of 185% as of April 7, 2026.
