BUZZ-Target tumbles as tariff pressures, sluggish demand fuel forecast cuts

Updates

** Slashes annual forecasts on rising tariff uncertainty and demand slowdown

** CEO Brian Cornell says pricing decisions will largely depend on ongoing efforts to source more products in the U.S. and reduce reliance on China

** Expects single-digit decline in annual sales vs prior forecast of growth of around 1% and adjusted EPS between $7.00 and $9.00 per share vs $8.80 to $9.80 earlier

** Q1 comparable sales decline 3.8% vs estimates of a 1.08% drop and adjusted EPS of $1.30 misses estimates of $1.61, data compiled by LSEG

** CEO says reversal of some DEI policies played a role in Q1 performance, but he couldn't quantify the impact; TGT has been facing backlash for ending many of its DEI policies
