Janney Montgomery Scott maintains a 'Buy' on Gap, Inc. (NYSE: GPS) price target of $34.00.

Analyst, Adrienne Tennant, said, "GPS reported a May comp of +2.0% versus Retail Metrics consensus of +3.3% (includes comparable online sales). We point out that we believe almost the entire short fall relative to consensus was due to a shift in Old Navy's immensely popular traffic-driving $1 Flip Flop Sale Event. We believe this event may be shifting to the July 4th holiday. Historically, the sale event has been ahead of either Memorial Day or July 4th."
