Gap stock surges in late trading as retailer predicts growth in 2022
The Gap Inc. lost less money than expected in the holiday season and surprisingly beat analysts’ expectations with executives’ forecast for 2022, driving shares more than 15% higher in after-hours trading Thursday.
Analysts on average were expecting an adjusted loss of 13 cents a share on sales of $4.49 billion, after Gap’s holiday forecast for losses led to a huge decline in its stock. Shares moved higher than $16.50 in after-hours trading Wednesday immediately after the release of the results, after closing with a 2.3% loss in the regular session.
