Gap raised its full-year profit outlook on Thursday after seeing better-than-expected results at its largest brand, Old Navy.
The apparel company's fiscal second quarter results were released earlier than planned after the company "inadvertently" posted them to its website and then removed them, a Gap spokesperson told CNBC.
Gap posted earnings of $206 million, or 54 cents per share, compared with $117 million, or 32 cents per share, a year earlier.
The company's second-quarter results didn't blow away expectations, but are solid improvements from where the company was a year ago.
Its gross margin came in better than forecast at 42.6%, ahead of the 40.8% that analysts had expected, according to StreetAccount.
