About Gap

Gap sells clothing, accessories, and personal care items for men, women, and children through a family of familiar brand names: Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta. Its shelves cover everyday basics like denim, t-shirts, fleece, and khakis, along with add-ons such as eyewear, jewelry, shoes, bags, and fragrance. Athleta stands apart as the brand built around women and girls, with pieces meant for yoga, training, sports, travel, and casual daily wear.

The company reaches shoppers through its own stores, franchise locations run by independent partners, online storefronts, catalogs, and joint efforts with outside brands. Beyond its home market, franchise agreements let outside operators run Old Navy, Gap, Athleta, and Banana Republic stores and websites across Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, extending the brands' reach without direct company ownership of every location.

The Gap, Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and traces its incorporation back to 1969. Its shares trade on the NYSE under the ticker GAP.

Last earnings call, Aug 27, 2026 AI summary

What they said
GAP Inc. Q2 2026 saw net sales decline 2% but exceeded profit expectations with gross margin strength. Gap brand comp sales rose 10%; Banana Republic posted fifth consecutive positive comp quarter. Old Navy comp sales fell 4%, pressured by weak seasonal categories and disappointing marketing traffic. Athleta remained pressured but showed inventory improvements. Company maintained overall market share.
Guidance
Full year revenue outlook narrowed downward reflecting Q2 underperformance. Margin and EPS outlook raised. Management expects H2 improvement driven by Old Navy denim, active, and knit categories, with August trends showing early positive signals.
