Gap Surprises With Earnings Rise
Gap reported a 19 percent increase in its second quarter earnings to $152 million this week, marking its first profit rise in two years. The struggling San Francisco retailer said that same store sales were down 5 percent in the quarter, but it made up for losses by trimming staff and expenses.
Reaction to spring/summer goods was mixed, Gap said, adding that its fall inventory should bring in a stronger performance.
It will be interesting to see how the company fares over the next few quarters under the direction of new chairman and CEO Glenn Murphy.
