Here are Cramer’s latest thoughts about Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) which followed the firm’s latest earnings report:

“Right but Brian was very upset. Wanted to do much better. Recognizes that frankly that his prices might be too high. Has to discount more. . .look, let’s just call it. It was a bad quarter. Now I know when I pressed him on these DEI issues when there was backlash, he did not say there was. And I just went back and asked about the conference call that they just did with reporters and again, he’s just insisting that it’s not really, it’s not, just not mentioning it as being a factor. I find that, surprising. But David, the problem with Target I think, and I’m gonna come back. . .is scale.

“They did buy back a lot of stock. . . they must have had much more faith than the street. You know they bought back 2.2 million shares at a 114 dollars a share. I would have never done that. Plays down any backlash from DEI. But the most important thing here, Carl, I just find is, this has been a, become a typical thing that Target has become a serial disappointer.

“I am questioning, how well it’s doing. It’s not big enough. They’re not opening a lot of stores, it’s part of urban strategy that seemed just okay. There were issues even, you know, off of George Floyd, but they recovered very quickly. . . .But I think that that’s more, if you might show some others, yeah Walmart’s really good too, TJX is really good too.

“Go look at the prices, when I. . .would walk with Brian through a Target store, I said this is too high, this is too high, this one’s too high. Where is the 2019? How about 2019 prices? I know that right now Walmart’s got some 2019 prices.

“Look, when you put up a chart of Dollar Tree, Dollar General, not Dollar Tree. Dollar General, I think that if Target can really lower price, you can have a kind of a conversion of. . .

“I’ve gone over this with Brian many times. I think everyone loves to go to Target. They’ve got those great brands that are their own. They have to cut price, cut price, cut price. They have no choice. They have to cut price.
