"Well, a bit of action happening under the hood. I'm looking at shares of Gap. We're really thinking about the consumer and a lot of those retail earnings we've been seeing here. This company reported strong sales that beat expectations here. And of course, as we really think about this bifurcation that we've really been seeing in the market more broadly for the retailers, you're seeing a lot of the discount uh retailers that are marking down prices doing very well and then a lot of the other companies struggling to find a pathway forward, a strategy here if you think about Target and the likes. Uh but we are seeing that Gap is one of those bucking the trend and doing quite well up for its best day since May."

The speaker highlights Gap's unexpected strong performance in a challenging retail environment, noting robust consumer sales and a clear divergence in outcomes among retailers. Gap appears to be defying the broader market struggles and delivering its best day since May.
