- Target Corp. plunged 19% to $127.35 after the discount retailer reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results and guided a cautious outlook.
Total revenue in the fiscal third quarter ending on November 2 increased 1.1% to $25.66 billion from $25.39 billion, net income plunged 12.1% to $854 million from $971 million, and diluted earnings per share fell to $1.85 from $2.10 a year earlier.
The retailer forecast fourth quarter earnings per share between $1.85 and $2.45, sharply lower than the market expectation of at least $2.65, and full-year earnings per share between $8.30 and $8.90.
Nov 20, 2024 - Target Corp. declined 8.8% to $142.10 after the retailer reported weaker-than-expected earnings and a decline in sales driven by weakening growth trends in discretionary item sales.
Consumers limit their purchases of groceries and discretionary items like apparel and home decor.
Moreover, shoppers are chasing discounts, and relatively high-priced grocery items sold at Target still face competition from discount stores like Walmart, Aldi, Lidl, and other regional discount chains.
Target has been struggling to convince customers to spend more, as about 20% of its total sales are groceries, unlike 60% of Walmart's sales.
Total revenues declined 3.1% to $24.5 billion from $25.3 billion, net income dropped 0.8% to $942 million from $980 million, and diluted earnings per share fell to $2.03 from $2.05 a year ago.
Comparable sales declined 3.7% in the first quarter, reflecting a comparable store sales decline of 4.8%, partially offset by a comparable digital sales increase of 1.4%.
For the second quarter and for the full year, the company anticipated comparable sales to increase between zero and 2%.
For the full year, the company reiterated its adjusted earnings per share outlook to be between $8.60 and $9.60.
