1444 ET - Gap shares should see upside ahead with multiple drivers despite 4Q results "that were a hair light," but in-line fiscal-year guidance, according to Baird in a research note. Analysts Mark Altschwager and Katie McGuire expect the apparel company to get a boost from strong consumer spending due to tax refunds, lower tariffs and improvements from its investments in marketing, stores and technology. With Gap sliding 14% post 4Q results, the analysts say "we're buyers," noting they see little downside given reasonable guidance and a good start to the current quarter. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
