Gap Issues Warning, Sales Disappointing
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Gap Inc. (NYSE:GPS - news), the largest U.S. apparel retailing chain, on Thursday reported disappointing January sales and forecast that first-quarter earnings would fall short of Wall Street estimates.

The company said same-store sales in January fell 12 percent from a year earlier due to deep markdowns implemented to clear merchandise.

Citing uncertainty in consumer spending and tighter margins, Gap said it now expects fourth-quarter earnings of 30 to 31 cents a share, below analysts' consensus estimate of 33 cents as compiled by market research firm First Call/Thomson Financial.

Gap also said it expects comparable-store sales trends in the negative mid-single-digits in the first quarter.
