Net income was $307 million, or 44 cents a share, compared with net income of $246 million, or 35 cents a share, in the year-earlier period. Sales rose 1% to $3.59 billion.
Analysts, on average, estimated Gap to earn 42 cents a share on sales of $3.59 billion, according to FactSet Research. Analysts raised their forecast after Gap said earlier this month it had expected its profit to climb between 42 cents and 44 cents a share.
