Gap: shares decline after broker downgrades to 'sell'.
(CercleFinance.com) - Shares of Gap are down over 1% one hour into trading on Wall Street Thursday, after Citi downgraded its rating on the clothing retailer.
The US broker has downgraded the stock from "neutral" to "sell," after it has risen by nearly 40% over the past three months.
