The Gap Inc. (GPS-N) is currently facing challenges, particularly in its leisurewear segment, evidenced by a notable decline in Q1 net sales at -12% and same-store sales dropping by -11%. This disheartening performance, as outlined in recent reviews, emphasizes the struggles the company is encountering in a competitive retail landscape. Despite these setbacks, one expert highlights the potential for recovery, suggesting a keen interest in re-entering the stock once it experiences a price dip, thereby indicating a belief in its long-term value. Additionally, a previous recommendation notes that Gap has shown some progress, with its stock being a top pick and advising an adjustment of the stop-loss to $18. This indicates mixed perspectives among analysts, yet suggests a cautious optimism regarding the company's future performance.

Has had a 114% move in the last year. Plays into the value/price consumer theme. Probably a big beneficiary of a strong US$. Have been going through a significant restructuring which is starting to show margin improvement. You have to be careful with consumer discretionary. You could consider buying a small position and then come in again after earnings are reported on Thursday.
