time to go long on GAP or another fake?

16 thg 9, 2023

As the gradual increase of value has been apparently growing slowly month over month from the low 7-8s, this stock is midway from its 52 week high. Down over 50% over a 5 year timeframe, does the idea of GAP recovering be underway prior to 2023 holiday season. I don't personally shop at the store, compared to ANF, GES who have fared much better compared to FOOTLOCKER & AEO. I'm not very confident in the consumer discretionary sector however the triple bottom forming on the daily and weekly timeframe a recovery happening OVER TIME. Entering long now would be at the individuals own risk.

The company has paid dividend for 3 consecutive years but the question would low revenue in the future under a high interest rate environment warrant for the dividend to be cut or have troubles paying to shareholders etc.
Over the last 3 months has the return been good, and the company has been profitable over the last year. A con would be stock price volatility, competitors in this field would include American Eagle, Guess, Urban Outfitters, Abercombie AND Fitch etc.
Using a source giving me 20 analysts have a price target of $6-$24.
