Description: GAP The Gap

The Gap, Inc. (NYSE:GAP) is a diversified apparel retailer that markets clothing, accessories, and personal-care items for men, women, and children through its four brands-Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta. Products are sold via company-owned stores, franchised locations, e-commerce sites, and third-party partnerships, with franchise agreements extending the brands across Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Founded in 1969, the company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

In its most recent fiscal year (FY 2025), Gap reported revenue of $13.9 billion, a 4 % year-over-year increase driven largely by a 3 % rise in comparable-store sales and a 38 % contribution from digital channels. The firm improved its inventory turnover to 4.2 × and posted an operating margin of 6.5 %, translating to earnings per share of $1.12. These metrics reflect a steady recovery from pandemic-era disruptions and a focus on higher-margin athleisure and “everyday-essential” product lines.

Key macro drivers for the apparel retail sector remain US consumer confidence (currently at 102), modest inflation easing, and sustained growth in online shopping, which together support Gap’s strategy of expanding digital sales while optimizing its brick-and-mortar footprint.
