GAP Post Q1 2024 Earnings (part 2)

Updated
The time has come. New ticker symbol, same story, my thesis remains unchanged despite the macro environment. I think GAP is in a good position to remain within this large megaphone like channel and I think that those who did their due diligence and believed in GAP will be rewarded.

In terms of position, I'm going 95% shares and 5% calls. I have definitely capitalized on today's low open.

I expect a good year for GAP but If I'm wrong, I'm willing to accept the loss.
Note
As desired, the lower gap has filled and provided me another buying opportunity, my orders have executed and now i will sit back and wait

snapshot
Note
ANF fell at market open and NVDA has dropped in after hours as well. These stocks are over extended, and I expect the market to be red tomorrow. GAP remains undervalued and unnoticed in my opinion, and I think if earnings play in our favor, we can see a good pop.

With blood in the water, I expect gap to get dragged down and i may capitalize on the blood if it proves to appealing to pass on.

Best of luck !
Note
crazy morning. that's def a big money candle and trading has halted for GAP. The manipulation before earnings is here and thigs are getting crazy. bought at the low. let's see how things play out 😤

snapshot
Note
things are even wilder than i thought, apparently earnings were released early, and I didn't even know.

earnings were a beat! that earnings gap was filled and judging from the price action in March I think we can see a steady climb up once all this madness settles

snapshot
Note
So, wild day. This is how we looking, and truth be told I'm fealing good.

snapshot

54 cents vs 40 cents EPS
3.72B vs 3.63B revenue
and a slight increase in its previous forecast

I'd say we are doing good and its validating seeing our beliefs in this turnaround come true. I'm sure you all already know, earnings were "accidently released" early, GAP shot up 9%, and trading was halted. Thats just the nature of the riskiness of earnings sometimes. Momentum was stalled but I think we have solidified our current position and there's no need to panic.

We didn't get the jump we hoped for, and I'd say that's due to the fiasco earlier today but the likelier scenario after those numbers is now up rather than down. I don't think there's much room to go down and stand by my belief that we can trend towards up slowly to the 30s.

Patience will pay off. i expect a green week next week.
Note
rough week, all momentum was lost after the earnings drama and markets look week. I expect things to pick back up soon. I'm hanging on tight to my shares but stay safe out there. We have to be able to acknowledge the worst case scenerio if the markets dont recover in September

snapshot
Note
We have been bleeding for past couple sessions and RSI is looking oversold on both daily and 4H chart. would like to see a bounce here fter covering tht gap left in March 2024

snapshot
Note
That's a beautiful bounce and we nowhere near oversold on the daily. I expect a steady recovering from here but let's see how we close out the week.

snapshot
Note
alright so a nice even 6% gain on the week. Not too shabby. The bulls are present, and we have closed the week above support and right on that weekly 50 EMA.

snapshot

The daily RSI is looking good but weve left a gap behind us around 20.65$

snapshot

wouldn't be surprised if we keep climbing up nest week but i would like to see that fill. This stock has a repeated tendency of filling gaps.

snapshot

FOMC next week, this one is key!
Note
doesn't look so hot

snapshot

we got the gap fill we were looking for but this looks bearish to me, clear head and shoulders pattern to retest 19.30$

snapshot
Note
we are holding that 20$ mark very strongly. With rates cuts officially announced i am more bullish on small caps than ever. I think it should be a strong end of year

snapshot
Note
up more than 5% on the week we are holding that 20$ mark very strongly, thats a sign to accumulate to me

snapshot

i remain bullish on GAP
Note
UP OVER 14.5% since the Sep 10th low and expecting u to clumb to 23$ and reclaim that old support

snapshot

i want to see us break above and hold before continue its climb up

snapshot
Note
boring for the most part, we are holding well above 20$. I have not touched my position at all. Gap remains one of the largest holdings in my portfolio

"18 Stocks Goldman Sachs Is Bullish On For Third-Quarter Earnings"

Glad to see us tipped with some BIG names for earnings upward revisions by Goldman Sachs. Will be following their picks, so far, they are 1/18 right with Citigroup toping earnings today, despite their fall.

I think they are playing it on the safe side though. 10% upside in 12 months might be reasonable projections for a company like DELL or NVDA , but i think GAP has a lot more to offer us. My beliefs remain the same, and patience will pay 😤
Note
back over support 👀

snapshot
Note
6 of the 18 stocks that GS has predicted to beat earnings have been successful so far with various post earnings price action. More than half still to go and that includes gap.

Citigroup Inc. C
Synchrony Financial SYF
Amgen Inc. AMGN
Boston Scientific BSX
ADT Inc. ADT
Merck & Co. MRK

We have had a very successful rate in the past with the exception of the last earnings fiasco andunless we see a change in trend next earnings i still remain bullish on GAP for the remainder of 2024!

snapshot

TIME WILL TELL
Note
alright, big day tomorrow, let's hope they don't screw it up again.

Despite the boring price action, I'm feeling positive. I think GAP has a lot to prove, this is still one of my major holdings in terms of position size in my portfolio and me holding onto this position will depend fully on tomorrows earnings + forecast. I think we can see a 30% climb following a good earnings report and in the even that we do ill be selling off roughly 35-50% of my position depending on the earnings reaction.

nothings guaranteed with earnings so i have decided to close out my position in full if they don't meet expectations or project good forecast numbers in 2025 as it has been lagging the past couple months and there are other opportunities i see the in market. Lets hope this story ends well for us 🙏

Keeping up with the earnings prediction of GS. We have a few more earnings results:

PR was a beat and saw a rise in price
SNOW has beat earnings and popped in AH
TOAST was a beat and saw a rise in price
QGEN was a beat and saw a small rise before falling following earnings
KVYO was a beat but saw price fall due to poor forecasts
MNDY was a beat but saw price fall
NVDA was a beat with price reaction down in AH
and SRE was the single miss with price rising

if we go off strictly beating earrings GS has predicted very well with 13/18 so far beating earnings and only one miss.

depending on price tomorrow i may open up a very small call position, best of luck !
Note
REDEMPTION!

I think they killed it! We are up over 15.50% in AH following the earnings result and I'm loving it. Nearly a 25% rise with ~9% priced in before earnings release.

snapshot

Lets see if we can keep the momentum going in premarket tomorrow, and I think if we don't automatically gap fill down after open and hold 25.50$, we can climb higher towards 30$

Numbers are good forecast are good, i feel bullish for next quarter and especially love this 👇

"Holiday is off to a strong start and we remain focused on executing with excellence in the fourth quarter," Dickson said. "Our performance year-to-date gives us the confidence to raise our full year outlook for sales, gross margin and operating income growth."

"This is the seventh quarter in a row in which Gap handily beat earnings expectations. The company is undergoing a multiyear turnaround strategy under Dickson, who joined the company in 2023.

In the past year, Gap has cut its corporate workforce, hired new executives — such as fashion designer Zac Posen and former Alo Yoga President Chris Blakeslee — and taken steps to become more relevant for consumers.

The company has started to see better sales momentum across most of its brands."

hanging on to my shares here

Trade closed manually
Closed out today. Looks to me like we want to drop lower. Locking in the profit.

snapshot

Will keep an eye on this
Note
gaps holding up fairly well, earnings gaps can always be tricky and this one isnt as clear as the one from MAY 2024. i did allocate 75% of my GAP capital into the ARKK etf on NOV 27th after closing this on the 26 and im happy woth my capital there.

but im still keeping my eyes on this with intentions to either DCA in ARKK, MRNA, AMD, or re-enter in GAP

snapshot

on the daily, GAP was to my surprise able to bounce of the 0.382 fib level and create a higher high

the gap left behind siits right at the golden pocket fib level meaning 24.65$ may be a good place to enter a trade.

if we can hold that we can create a higher low with the 50 EMA catching up

snapshot

the RSI looks to be diverging tho. lets see how things play out
Note
small position entry was made, holding that 50 EMA on the 4H

snapshot
Note
nice jump here

snapshot
Note
this is holding up well. I'm raring my stop loss just slightly below to the swing low from DEC 13. Current position up 3% and if we can hold this area i will consider adding to my position for a rally towards 27$

snapshot
Note
raising *

stop loss from 23.65$ to 23.80$
Note
stopped out here for a 3.45% loss

going to keep my eye on this
