Mar 04

Target's stock soared 5.71% during intraday trading on Tuesday, driven by the retailer's better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and optimistic full-year outlook.

The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.44 for the quarter ended January 31, surpassing analyst estimates of $2.16. For the 2026 fiscal year, Target projected adjusted EPS in the range of $7.50 to $8.50, with the midpoint exceeding consensus estimates. The retailer also forecast net sales growth of approximately 2%, ahead of expectations.

Investors responded positively to new CEO Michael Fiddelke's turnaround plan, which includes focusing on merchandising, store experience upgrades, and technology investments. The company noted a healthy sales increase in February, marking an important milestone on its path back to growth after three consecutive years of sales declines.
