Gap Inc. Faces Stock Decline Amid Strong Earnings and Significant Tariff Costs

Gap Inc. reported strong quarterly sales, primarily driven by robust demand for Old Navy and its namesake brands, exceeding expectations despite facing potential tariff costs estimated between $100 million and $300 million. The company warned that these tariffs could significantly impact its profit margins, leading to a 17% decline in shares during after-hours trading. Despite achieving revenue growth and beating earnings expectations, the outlook for flat sales and substantial tariff-related expenses overshadowed the positive results, prompting concern among investors regarding the potential effects on future profitability.
