Gap brand momentum
Gap marked its 11th consecutive quarter of growth and second double-digit growth quarter; denim ranking improved from No. 10 to No. 6, and kids and baby from No. 6 to No. 4.
Traffic, AUR and units increased; more sales came at full price, supporting healthier margins.
Product improvements and culturally relevant storytelling helped attract Gen Z while preserving existing customer appeal.
GapBag and fragrances launched, with further product drops and marketing planned to build category momentum.
Old Navy reset
The latest quarter marked Old Navy’s first comp decline in 11 quarters; H1 seasonal-category misses reflected dress assortment and inventory-mix issues.
Product and assortment mix improved, while marketing shifted toward sharper price points, value and product-specific messages; denim, active, kids and baby are priorities for the back half.
Cardi B-led denim and knit campaigns are resonating; Cardi’s cardigan sold over 500,000 units in a short period.
Michael Francis is set to become Old Navy CEO on November 2, following a transition period working alongside Haio and leading customer initiatives.
Beauty products are rolling into stores, and the Fanatics sports partnership has launched, with additional announcements expected.
Beauty and accessories
Beauty and accessories moved from announced plans to launches; teams added category experts and developed brand-specific product strategies.
Old Navy Beauty launched last month; Gap fragrances include Dream, currently the leading fragrance, while GapBag debuted with signature styles such as the Hoodie Tote and Five-Pocket Tote.
The categories are in an early momentum-building phase, with limited near-term material impact; they are expected to support long-term growth and enhance margins.

Frequently asked questions
American Retail Fashion Staple
The Gap Inc. is an American retailer with global operations that specializes in clothing and accessories. The company's core activity involves designing, manufacturing, and selling a wide range of apparel and accessories for men, women, and children. Gap's product offerings include casual wear, activewear, and more, with a focus on providing versatile, contemporary styles. It is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and its shares are listed on the NYSE.
Jeans and LP Records
Founded in 1969 by Donald Fisher and his wife Doris, The Gap began as a single store in San Francisco. Their store initially sold Levi's jeans and LP records, aiming to attract a younger, trendy demographic. By the mid-1970s, Gap began introducing its private-label merchandise, shifting away from solely being a Levi's retailer. This change marked the beginning of Gap's transformation into a fashion brand in its own right, and throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the company experienced significant growth. It became known for its basic, yet fashionable casual wear, and iconic advertising campaigns. In the decades since the company has made several acquisitions and is a well-established player in retail fashion, and can be compared to companies such as H&M and American Eagle.
Retail Fashion Experts
The Gap store is more or less the archetype of a typical retail fashion establishment in several key aspects. Firstly, it operates through a mix of physical stores and an online presence, a common model in the modern retail fashion industry. The stores are usually located in high-traffic areas such as shopping malls and busy urban streets and offer a range of clothing and accessories for men, women, and children. The brand is known for its classic, casual style, featuring seasonal collections that follow current fashion trends while maintaining a timeless appeal.
Other Brands
Besides its flagship brand, the company owns several other labels, each with its unique market position. Banana Republic offers upscale clothing and accessories, targeting the professional market with a focus on refined, modern style. Old Navy is known for its more budget-friendly and family-oriented offerings. Another one of its brands, Athleta, specializes in performance and lifestyle apparel. Each of these brands operates with its distinct identity and target audience, while collectively contributing to Gap Inc.'s overall market presence in the fashion industry.
