Target (TGT) T1 2025

Target will publish its financial results of the first quarter on Wednesday, while the cheap chic retailer based in Minneapolis is trying to resume growth.

Here is what Wall Street is waiting for the discounter, according to a survey of LSEG analysts:

• Profit by action: $ 1.64 expected
• Income: 24.32 billion dollars expected

The Target's profits report will follow the updates of other retailers, in particular Walmart And Home Depot. The two large -scale retailers reaffirmed their annual perspectives when declaring quarterly profits. However, the two companies have diverged the way they will manage the higher costs of prices. Walmart warned that it will have to increase prices for customers at the end of the month due to tasks. Home Depot, on the other hand, said that he did not plan to raise the prices.

For the target, however, prices are not the only challenge. The annual turnover of La Discounter has been almost flat for four years in a row. Sales have been lower in many discretionary categories for which the retailer is known, such as interior decoration, because consumers are selective and cautious for expenses. And the company was faced with rewards rewarded by buyers – and the pressure of activists, in particular the Reverend Al Sharpton – for the reversal of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Target said in February that it expected “significant profit pressure from one year to the next” in the first quarter compared to the rest of the year due to softer sales in February and uncertainty in terms of consumer feeling and prices.

The expectations of the company are also low for the exercise. Target said it expected net sales to increase by around 1% and comparable sales, a metric that eliminates unique factors such as store openings and closures, to be almost stable. Target said it expected the share adjusted per share varies from $ 8.80 to $ 9.80 and for its operating margin rate to increase modestly compared to the full year in 2024.
