Dump Gap Before the Holiday: JPMorgan
While the broader retail industry has managed to secure a turnaround in 2018, Gap Inc. ( GPS) hasn't been able to keep up with its peers. In a note to clients on Thursday, JPMorgan analyst Matthew Boss reduced his 12-month price forecast on Gap stock from $30 to $24, implying an 11% downside from Wednesday close. "The time frame for Gap banner sequential SSS [same-store sales] improvement and return to 'momentum' is now less certain in our view as the brand grapples with operational issues and second-half assortment imbalance (bottoms tops) with the new brand president unlikely to have material impact until the first half of 2019," Boss said.

Gap's stock sinks after J.P. Morgan turns bearish, citing sales weakness and margin pressure
Shares of Gap Inc. sank 5.8% in premarket trade Thursday, putting them on track to open at a 13-month low, after J.P. Morgan turned bearish on the apparel retailer, citing signs of continued sales weakness and growing pressure on margins. Analyst Matthew Boss cut his rating to underweight, after being at neutral since April 2017. He slashed his stock price target to $24, which is 11.5% below Wednesday's closing price, from $30. Boss said Gap is grappling with operational issues and an assortment imbalance for the holiday season, with more bottoms than tops, and the new brand president is unlikely to have an impact until the first half of 2019. He also expects gross margins to be hurt by elevated promotions in the near-term promotions and inflation in freight costs. That said, Boss said Gap's Old Navy brand stores remain a "bright spot." Gap's stock has dropped 10.1% over the past three months, while the SPDR S&P Retail ETF has lost 4.7% and the S&P 500 has eased 0.2%.

Retail stocks take a tumble after Amazon's minimum wage hike announcement
Retail stocks including Nordstrom Inc. (down 2.1%), Kohl's Corp. (down 3%), Gap Inc. (down 3.3%) and Macy's Inc. (down 2.3%) have fallen in Tuesday trading after Amazon.com Inc. announced it was raising its minimum wage to $15 and advocating for a broader rise in the minimum wage to that level. Retailers, already feeling the pressure to attract and retain quality workers, could soon be feeling the tighter squeeze from larger, more competitive paychecks. "Amazon gets something of a free pass on profit levels from investors, so is able to manage market expectations," wrote GlobalData Retail Managing Director Neil Saunders in a note. "The same cannot be said for other retailers, many of which are under increasing economic pressure to increase wages and benefits. In our view, those moves could well impact earnings into the new year." The SPDR S&P Retail ETF , which is down 1.7% in Tuesday trading, has gained 8.3% for the year so far. The Amplify Online Retail ETF , down 3% in Tuesday trading, has gained 22.4% for 2018 to date. The S&P 500 index is up 9.4% for the year to date.
