Gap misses quarterly sales estimates as consumer spending weakens

Gap Inc missed Wall Street estimates for quarterly sales on Thursday, hit by softness in demand as budget-strained American customers cut back their spending on accessories and apparel.

The company's net sales fell to $3.55 billion in the second quarter from $3.86 billion a year earlier. Analysts on average had estimated sales of $3.57 billion, according to Refinitiv data.
