Read How Analysts Reacted To Gap's Q4 Results

Morgan Stanley analyst Kimberly Greenberger noted Gap Inc's GPS adjusted EPS loss per share of $(0.02) in Q4 beat expectations. But she finds it "difficult to avoid the conclusion that losing money in what should be one of the most profitable quarters every year suggests fundamentals and execution were gravely challenged."
Greenberger thinks 2022 guidance is likely to prove "overly optimistic."
She sees downside risk across multiple line items in the company's initial outlook. The analyst maintained an Underweight rating on Gap shares with a $14 price target.
