0834 ET - Jefferies分析师在一份研究报告中表示，Gap的增长势头真实且持续增强。他们预计，该零售商的主打品牌将在下周的第三季度报告中公布连续第八个季度的同店销售增长，近期的市场营销活动正在带来回报，并应有助于推动强劲的假日季销售。同时，由于其强大的价值主张，Old Navy的市场定位也十分良好，而Athleta在新首席执行官的领导下的复苏有助于推动增长，分析师表示。此外，他们认为Gap在美国美容和个人护理市场有良好的发展潜力，“我们看到美容领域的显著上升空间，并认为市场对此机会的估计过低，”他们写道。Jefferies将Gap的评级从持有上调至买入，并将目标价上调至30美元，之前为22美元。Gap在盘前上涨了2%。(connor.hart@wsj.com)
