	Gap beats by a penny - May. 22, 2003
		San Francisco-based Gap (GPS: Research, Estimates) said net sales for the first-quarter rose 16 percent to $3.4 billion, while sales at stores open at least a year -- a retail measure known as same-store sales -- rose 12 percent.
		Two years ago, the No. 1 apparel retailer was a high-flying name in retail whose khakis, denims and T-shirts epitomized "casual dressing." As soon as Gap (GPS: up $0.55 to $17.20, Research, Estimates) moved away from its signature style in favor of trendier clothes, the bubble burst.
		Here's how the latest chapter reads: Gap's sales at stores open at least a year-- a retail measure known as same-store sales -- are up for the seventh consecutive month; the stock price has rebounded 98 percent from last year's lows, and store traffic continues to improve.
