Gap navigates storms and tariff headwinds with mixed Q4 2025 results and growth plans

Gap posted a mixed Q4 2025: revenue of $4.24 billion and 45 cents per share, slightly missing on EPS as gross margin fell to 38.1% due to tariffs; net income was $171 million. Full-year guidance calls for 2%-3% sales growth and adjusted EPS of $2.20-$2.35, aided by a $313 million legal settlement. Brand results were solid at Gap and Old Navy (Gap brand up 8% in sales with 7% comps, Old Navy up 3% comps), Banana Republic up 4% comps, while Athleta fell 11% in revenue and 10% in comps. CEO Richard Dickson says the turnaround is pivoting to growth through core apparel, plus expansions into beauty, accessories, and a fashion/entertainment platform, supported by a roughly $3 billion cash pile and potential tariff-driven upside if rates shift.

Gap to Cut 1800 Corporate Jobs in Second Round of Layoffs.

Gap Inc will lay off about 1,800 employees in a second round of job cuts as high inflation eats into consumer wallets. The apparel chain had about 95,000 employees as of Jan. 28. The company expects to take on about $100 million to $120 million in aggregate pre-tax costs as a result of the workforce reduction, which is expected to be completed by the end of the first half of fiscal 2023. Gap is in the middle of a CEO transition after Sonia Syngal stepped down last year, and is currently led on an interim basis by Executive Chairman Bob Martin.
