Maine Trust for Local News workers rally to expand their union
Workers and union organizers walk out of the Portland Press Herald offices in South Portland, Maine on Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025, to attend a rally in support of expanding their union to cover reporters at other publications run by the Press Herald's parent organization, the Maine Trust for Local News. (Photo by Troy R. Bennett/ Maine Morning Star) About three dozen reporters, photographers, page designers and union activists gathered on a brown lawn adjacent to the Portland Press Herald offices and printing plant Tuesday morning to announce their drive to unionize news workers at all of the Maine Trust for Local News' weekly and daily paper operations around the state. The News Guild of Maine, which is affiliated with the Communications Workers of America, already represents about 150 workers at the Trust's papers and aims to include the 50 or so remaining non-union jobs at the Sun Journal in Lewiston, The Times Record in Brunswick and the Trust's 17 weekly publications. Workers at the daily Kennebec Journal are represented by a separate branch of the CWA and are in the process of merging with the guild. 'More than 70% of those [50 non-union] workers have signed union authorization cards,' said Megan Gray, president of the News Guild of Maine. On Monday, the guild filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board seeking voluntary union recognition for those workers. The guild has marked the effort as a drive for 'One Big Union.' The nonprofit Trust is the state's largest network of independent news and media outlets. It's a subsidiary of the Colorado-based National Trust for Local News. Management at the Trust has yet to respond to union demands. Messages seeking comment were not immediately returned. Speakers at the union rally expressed concerns about huge pay disparities between publications within the Trust, lack of job security and dwindling local content as papers are forced to work with fewer reporters and share non-local stories. Paul Bagnall, an experienced reporter at The Times Record, said as a non-union worker he makes $18 per hour while starting reporters at the Press Herald earn a minimum of $28.75 per hour. 'With the cost of living going up, my paycheck has already stretched to a breaking point,' Bagnall said. 'I am currently priced out of potential sources of information — going out to events, restaurants and cafes due to the cost of living — and it's still rising.' Joe Lawlor, a longtime Press Herald reporter, called Bagnall's pay shameful. 'We can do better,' Lawlor said. Sophie Burchell, a non-union reporter at the Trust's southern Maine community news division, said her job is unfairly seen as a stepping stone, rather than a sustainable career. 'I want it to be seen as a place people can grow and thrive,' Burchell said. 'I want to see my peers and their talents thrive in Maine journalism.' Kendra Caruso, an education writer at the Sun Journal, said the Trust isn't living up to its own journalism mission. 'Its stated goal is to prevent news deserts across the nation. However, changes the company implemented early this year, including staff layoffs, have only increased the risk of more news deserts in Maine and decreased the amount of local news coming out of our newsrooms across the state,' Caruso said. Gray said there was no way for the Trust to continue to support local journalism without first supporting its local journalists. 'We're expanding our union because we know that we must invest in our workers in order to invest in the future of journalism,' she said. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE Solve the daily Crossword

Walmart's earnings report will test investor confidence in US market
By Siddharth Cavale NEW YORK (Reuters) -Investors expect Walmart's management to strike a cautious tone on customer demand as the U.S. labor market cools and inflation ticks up, though the company has outperformed its peers over the last year due to its reliance on grocery sales and wealthier customers shopping there more often. Still, analysts say this environment is a sweet spot for Walmart, which reports second-quarter results on Thursday before markets open. Its low-price model and dominance in grocery can help it weather economic storms better than others. The world's largest retailer by sales has surpassed earnings estimates for 11 consecutive quarters, according to LSEG data, sending its valuation soaring even as other consumer staples companies have struggled this year. The Arkansas-based chain's stock has gained nearly 37% in the last 12 months, one of the notable non-tech companies leading a market that has largely sloughed off the effects of U.S. President Donald Trump's ongoing trade war. The broader Consumer Staples sector is up 4.5%, trailing the broad-market S&P 500. The company's May-to-July results are the most closely watched event among this week's retail earnings, following Tuesday's results from Home Depot and Wednesday's reports from Lowe's and Target. Its significance goes beyond retail; as one of the largest and most recognizable companies in the U.S., Walmart is viewed as a barometer for the state of the U.S. consumer. "Walmart essentially is middle America, so I'll be looking for cues from Walmart as to the health of the broader economy," said Charles Sizemore, a Walmart investor. U.S. shoppers remain resilient despite declining sentiment, but they are being increasingly selective about purchases and have shown signs of trading down. RBC Capital Markets analyst Steven Shemesh cautioned that Walmart may adopt a more cautious tone heading into the second half. "The million-dollar question at this point is how customers respond to higher prices. We have seen some higher prices to date, and the consumer has managed through them OK, and we haven't seen a material impact to volume. But I don't think they're very widespread price increases at this point where the consumer has really noticed," Shemesh said. Home Depot missed estimates for quarterly revenue and profit, but kept its annual forecasts intact on Tuesday. Walmart's forward price-to-earnings ratio currently stands at 35.7, compared with an average of 25.5 over the past five years, suggesting investors expect growth. Its market value has soared to about $800 billion, per LSEG Datastream. Investors and analysts expect the retailer to report earnings of 74 cents a share, up nearly 11% from a year ago, and revenue of $176.16 billion, up 4%. Sales fell slightly short of expectations in Walmart's last quarter, but July's retail sales report bolstered analysts' confidence in current spending trends. "July's data showing retail sales grew faster than inflation tells me that the consumer is still spending and unit counts are up," said D.A. Davidson analyst Michael Baker. Reuters' global tariff tracker shows at least 92 out of nearly 300 companies have announced price hikes in response to the trade war, with about one-third from the consumer sectors. That includes Tide detergent and Bounty paper towels maker Procter & Gamble, a top Walmart supplier. "Third quarter is the make-or-break quarter, really, where the higher prices ... are going to be passed along in a more broader way than what we are seeing now," Shemesh said.

What Wall Street analysts are saying ahead of Target's second-quarter results
Analysts on Wall Street say expectations for Target's second-quarter results due to be released before the opening bell on Wednesday are so low that the stock should be able to gain. The retailer's earnings this week come alongside peer Walmart and a host of other leading big box retailers, in what's shaping up as a key reading into the health of U.S. consumer spending. But Target's forthcoming results come as the company has struggled in 2025. The stock is down 22% so far this year, and sales have been slowing for some time. The Minneapolis-based chain has seen investors and consumers alike question if the company will regain its previous luster . TGT YTD mountain Target stock in 2025. Earlier this year, Target slashed its full-year sales outlook over concerns tied to tariffs and sour consumer sentiment. But the bar has been set so low coming out of Target's first-quarter results, it could pave the way for a rebound this quarter following Wednesday's numbers, some analysts say. Analysts polled by FactSet estimate earnings per share of $2.04 in the quarter that ended July 31, down from $2.57 a year ago, on revenue of $24.9 billion, down from $25.5 billion. Here's what analysts are saying ahead of Target's second-quarter results. Evercore: Target added to tactical trading call Analyst Greg Melich's $108 per share price target, in a base case, implies about 3% upside from Monday's $104.96 close. "We see near term upside to the $110-$115 on the print, with a thought that the Street estimates are reasonable and that the guide is unlikely to be reduced," Melich said in a Monday note. "Our view is that Target's 2Q comp landed around -3% as our Second Measure data analysis suggests that Street has it about right. We see EPS at around $2.01 as reasonable, and we are in line with the Street (unchanged)." "In recent days much has been made of the Target/ Ulta partnership ending, yet we believe Target is hunting for new partners and/or opportunities to scale, for example with Warby Parker ," he added. Morgan Stanley: Overweight, 'undemanding valuation' Analyst Simeon Gutman's $112 per share price target implies roughly 7% upside. "Undemanding valuation limits downside, and comps appear to have recovered from the consumer disaffection episode, supporting upside near-term," Gutman said. "Long-term visibility is clouded by necessary structural changes and potential management transition." "Near-term, however, we believe comps appear to be showing sequential improvement, providing some relief given low expectation," he added. TD Cowen: 'Expectations are low' The bank noted that investors have set low expectations for Target's quarterly results. As the stock's valuation has risen to a roughly 13 times forward price-to-earnings ratio, or about 15% since its last quarterly results, investors could be "bracing for the possibility of a 'better-than-feared' situation" according to analyst Oliver Chen "We like TGT's amplified value focus but recent multiple expansion & 2Q miss even with [reiterated guidance] could hold stock back," Chen said. The analyst's hold rating and $100 per share price target calls for about 5% downside. Wells Fargo: Risk-to-reward skew on Target is 'solid enough' The Wall Street bank has an outperform rating on Target and a $115 per share price target, implying nearly 10% upside. "We have concerns about management's ability to spark a sustained turnaround, but we continue to view TGT as a good brand, trends seems likely to improve from here, guidance seems reasonable and sentiment is particularly poor. Risk/reward on TGT as a contrarian idea seems solid enough," analyst Edward Kelly said.
