An update from Gap Inc ( (GAP) ) is now available.
Gap Inc. reported that for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2026, net sales rose 2% to $15.4 billion, marking a second consecutive year of topline growth and an eighth straight quarter of positive comparable sales. Operating income reached $1.1 billion with a 7.3% margin, supported by strong online growth and brand momentum at Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic, though tariffs pressured gross margins and Athleta continued to decline.
The apparel retailer ended fiscal 2025 with $3.0 billion in cash and generated $1.3 billion in operating cash flow and $823 million in free cash flow, while returning $402 million to shareholders via dividends and buybacks. Its board approved a new $1 billion share repurchase authorization and lifted the quarterly dividend, and management guided for further modest net sales growth and operating margin expansion in fiscal 2026, reinforcing confidence in its transformation strategy and balance sheet strength.
