The actress’s now-infamous “Great Jeans” commercial — the one where she purrs, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring... My jeans are blue” — has been roasted, memed, and accused of everything from being a “Nazi dog whistle” to shameless Calvin Klein cosplay. But while the internet argued, Wall Street cheered. On Wednesday, Sept. 3, American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE: AEO) announced second-quarter earnings that smashed expectations: $103 million in operating income (up 2%), $1.28 b…
