Target (NYSE: TGT)<\/strong> has cautioned investors that its second-quarter profits will be impacted for a short time, as it reduces prices of undesirable products, cancels orders and makes moves to rid itself of excess inventory. The news sent other retail stocks flat, specifically affecting the S&P 500. The company\u2019s share\u2019s also fell 7% during early morning trading following the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe thought it was prudent for us to be decisive, act quickly, get out in front of this, address and optimize our inventory in the second quarter \u2014 take those actions necessary to remove the excess inventory and set ourselves up to continue to be guest relevant with our assortment.\u201d<\/p>CEO Brian Cornell said in an interview with CNBC<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to Cornell, the action will also allow Target to make room for items that its customers do want, like groceries, beauty products, household items as well as seasonal categories. He went on to highlight that its stores and website were experiencing high traffic and \u201ca very resilient customer,\u201d though those individuals were no longer purchasing Covid pandemic divisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Over the past several weeks, we’ve continued to assess the broader retail environment and I think it’s no secret right now based on what’s been reported, the level of inventory across all retail is pretty high.”<\/p>Michael Fiddelke, Target’s chief financial officer, in an interview with the Star Tribune<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, Target believes profit margins will be approximately 6% at the end of the year, better than the company\u2019s average performance in the years before the pandemic began. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Target (NYSE: TGT) has cautioned investors that its second-quarter profits will be impacted for a short time, as it reduces prices of undesirable products, cancels orders and makes moves to rid itself of excess inventory.
