Gap Shares Plunge As September Same-Store Sales Fall

Just like any other retailer, The Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS) also saw its sales falling in September. Economic uncertainty caused by the policy impasse in Washington prompted consumers to spend money frugally. Gap said on Thursday that September same-store-sales fell 3% while analysts had expected a gain of 1.6%, according to a data compiled by Thomson Reuters. Sales at Banana Republic stores declined 5%; it dipped 3% at GAP stores while it slipped 2% at Old Navy stores. Shares were down nearly 7% by mid-day trade.
