The firm said "At 9x PE and 3.7x EV/EBITDA (trough valuation vs. history), with the stock near a 52-week low and short interest double where it was 2.5 months ago, we believe investors are worried that consensus is too high given merchandise margin began declining from peak levels and comps slowed in FQ2 and are getting tougher. We think estimates are achievable and don't believe EPS will be down next year."

Shares of GPS climbed 2.90% to $17.39 on very heavier than the average volume.
