Its quarterly earnings results were apparently released early, causing shares to be halted Thursday morning.

Gap's website briefly displayed a presentation showing the apparel retailer's second-quarter earnings before the scheduled release after the closing bell Thursday.

Gap's earnings were no longer visible on their site when the stock was halted at 9:59 a.m. ET, causing shares to drop by almost 1%.

Gap did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Richard Dickson, the CEO of Gap, is attempting to turn around the company's sales while maintaining positive growth in its first quarter, with all four brands, Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta, and Old Navy, showing comparable sales growth.
