What happened at Target? And what now? A veteran trader and analysts weigh in

What happened at Target? And what now? A veteran trader and analysts weigh in originally appeared on TheStreet. Back in 2014, Brian Cornell was focused on the future. Target () had just named the 30-year retailing veteran as the chain's next chairman and chief executive. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰💵 He'd most recently been CEO at PepsiCo's () Americas Foods, where he oversaw the drinks-and-snacks giant's global food business, the largest of its four divisions. Before joining PepsiCo in 2012, Cornell was president and CEO of Sam's Club, Walmart's () membership warehouse club. "I am committed to empowering this talented team to realize its full potential, lead change and strengthen the love guests have for this brand," Cornell said then in a statement.'As we create the Target of tomorrow. I will focus on our current business performance in both the U.S. and Canada and on how we accelerate our omnichannel transformation.' Now, just over a decade later, after the chain made a number of missteps, Cornell was telling analysts that he would be stepping down as CEO and that Chief Operating Officer Michael Fiddelke would take the helm on Feb. 1, 2026. Cornell will remain executive chairman. Target's Cornell: We are far from satisfied Although the Minneapolis chain beat Wall Street's fiscal-second-quarter expectations and affirmed its outlook, its stock was sliding. The shares are off nearly 29% this year, down 33% from this time in 2024, and 37% from five years ago. In addition, Target has seen a steady decline in same-store visits for roughly the past 18 months. More Retail Stocks: Kroger brings back paper coupons in a new way Target's customers walked away; How it plans to win them back Amazon analysts turn heads with surprising take on grocery plan "To be clear, while we were happy to see improvement in Q2, we are far from satisfied with where our business is performing today," Cornell said during the Q2 earnings call. "We need to do better, and our entire team is focused on consistent execution building further momentum and getting back to profitable long term." Fiddelke, 49, who joined Target in 2003 as an intern and rose through the ranks to chief financial officer and then COO, echoed Cornell's sentiment, saying, "we must improve." "I know we're not realizing our full potential right now," he said, "and so I'm stepping into the role with a clear and urgent commitment to build new momentum in the business and get back to profitable growth." Fiddelke said that he, the board and the rest of the company's leadership are taking "a clear-eyed approach to the work in front of us to understand where we need to lean in and where we need to accelerate change." TheStreet Pro's Stephen Guilfoyle isn't happy with Target's performance, either. He called the quarter's earnings "sloppy," a condition that he said became standard operating procedure during Cornell's reign. "I have often written over the past few quarters that I could not believe that the board hung onto this guy, even as the brand took a regular beating despite the fact that Amazon, () Costco () and Walmart () all found ways to evolve and even thrive in a tough retail environment," he wrote in his Aug. 20 column. Veteran trader unhappy with TGT's insider succession Guilfoyle, whose career dates back to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the 1980s, said he thought Target shares would soar after Cornell said he was stepping down. Instead, the shares fell, and were down 7% at last check to around $98. "Cornell, whose tenure has been catastrophic for Target, is not exactly leaving," he said. "He is hanging around as CEO through the holiday season (are you kidding me?) to be replaced on Feb. 1" by Fiddelke. "No wonder the stock is down," Guilfoyle continued. "Not only is the firm promoting from within this beleaguered C-suite, when outside leadership was so desperately needed, but Cornell will stick around as executive chair." Guilfoyle ticked off Target's problems: Margins are under pressure. Cash flows are under pressure. Target has been returning more capital to shareholders than it has been creating in free cash. The balance sheet is below average. Target, he said, 'has been significantly outperformed and, in my humble opinion, outfinessed by its nearest competitors.'"To keep the underperforming chief executive around in an executive capacity is foolish," Guilfoyle said. "To promote someone from his C-suite who certainly had an influence in how poorly this firm has traversed the past few years is just confounding." Fiddelke may turn out to be great, he added,. but "after working for Cornell, he'll have to pretend he is from Missouri and show us." "What can you say?" Guilfoyle said. "I have told readers in the past that I would not buy shares of Target with their money even if I hated their guts." If he were to short the shares — which he isn't — his target price would be in the area of $85 to $86. "This, for me, is not a 'buy the dip' opportunity," the veteran trader said. "The firm is still headed into the holidays with the same batch of misfits running the show." What does Target need to do now? As Wall Street analysts see matters, Fiddelke has a massive lift ahead. Roth Capital affirmed a neutral rating and a $90 price target on Target shares. The investment firm said the new CEO must contend with falling revenue and narrowing profit margins. The firm, calling Target's position "precarious," said the chain faces an unfavorable macroeconomic backdrop, since many consumers are tightening their belts and cutting spending on discretionary items. Target has underinvested in technology, and must manage the cost inflation that is appearing due to the Trump administration's tariffs, Roth Bank of America Securities, analyst Robert F. Ohmes reiterated an underperform rating with a $93 price target, indicating a 7% drop from current levels. The analyst wants to see faster growth in digital sales and more digital advertising and advertising in third-party marketplace. Target faces "elevated tariff, pricing and merchandising headwinds" plus "increasing competition from Walmart and Amazon," he said. Online "traffic growth is key to scaling digital advertising and third-party-marketplace fees," which Target needs to widen its gross margins "and support investments in automation, technology, and AI," Ohmes said. He added that Target's exposure to tariffs is higher than Walmart' happened at Target? And what now?

Retail earnings: Consumers are spending on needs, not wants

Retailers are in focus following Target's (TGT), Home Depot's (HD), and TJ Maxx parent company TJX's (TJX) earnings results, while investors await Walmart's (WMT) earnings results out Thursday morning. head of analytical research R.J. Hottovy shares his takeaways from retail earnings so far and what they signal about the health of the consumer. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend. as we heard from Target but also TJX and Home Depot, RJ. I'm just curious so big picture, you know, you've read through those earnings reports, you've listened to the calls. So far, RJ, what have you learned about the consumer? What have you learned about the sector? Yeah, I think the big takeaway today is that consumers are are cautious but they are willing to spend. Um, I think if we look at kind of the data the last month or so that uh, people did spend around Prime Day and the other events here, probably some more of it online than in-store. Uh, but at the same time too, they are spending on more need than want. We heard this uh, pretty consistently from Home Depot and Lowe's who said it's kind of the basic maintenance projects that the little projects that are really driving visits right now as opposed to the big ticket projects. Um, TJX, uh, you know, across the board, really more essentials than than than discretionary spend, but also very much focused on this value. I think we have a consumer that is very price sensitive after the last couple years of inflation. They are nervous about potential tariffs and the price increases that may come from that. They're gonna look to get a deal and you know, that is where they can get that with TJX. And I think that's kind of the story here is that it's a very price sensitive consumer, but one that is still willing to shop and spend uh, if they feel like they're getting the value out of it here too. So I think that's the takeaway at least for the first couple days here of earnings. And if you have that cautious consumer, RJ, as as you put it, you know, more focused on what they what they need rather than what they want, are there certain are there retailers, RJ, certain kinds of retailers that you think, okay, in that environment against that backdrop, they're better positioned? Yeah, I think the off-price channel, uh, no surprise there. I think that, you know, certainly we saw it with TJX, I think we're gonna see it with Burlington. I think uh, potentially see it some of the uh, the other players in the space. I think it's well positioned. Um, I think dollar stores could be an interesting play here. Uh, the issues the dollar stores ran into in 2024 were were public well publicized some pricing issues, some merchandising issues. They've had a pretty strong year and our data seems to suggest that's continuing so far in 25. Uh, the other sector is the club sector, looking at Costco, BJs, um, you know, and Sam's Club. Those have all been exceptionally strong too, and it's it's really starting to take share from other channels as well. So I think that that could be another one. Uh, obviously there's been a lot of momentum in these names. There's a lot of people, you know, behind them. But same time, I think even with that, there's still a lot of, you know, lot of potential uh, you know, a lot of potential for upside here with those names as well.

Target Appoints New CEO. Here's What Investors Hope He Will Address.

Key Takeaways Michael Fiddelke is slated to become Target's CEO in February, disappointing investors who were looking for an external candidate to refresh the retailer's approach. Fiddelke described his 20 years of experience at the company as a benefit. Investors will look to him to catch up to competitors in the e-commerce space, address tariffs, and stock merchandise that appeals to more of its core customers. Target veteran Michael Fiddelke won't become CEO for months, but the stock market is already disappointed with his appointment. Investors hoped Target (TGT) would replace CEO Brian Cornell with an external hire, with most of 50 investors polled by Mizhuho this summer stating that as their preference, analysts said. "The market was looking for fresh eyes and a change agent," JPMorgan said after Target announced the leadership change Wednesday morning. Besides facing questions about whether he will offer a novel approach, Fiddelke will be expected to address several issues. Target has a less robust digital operation than competitors, more significant tariff risks, and a customer base that thinks merchandise lacks the company's distinct "Tar-zhay" flair, the company and analysts said. Target shares fell 6% on Wednesday, making the stock one of the biggest decliners in the benchmark S&P 500 index. The stock has lost more than a quarter of its value since the start of the year. E-Commerce Turnaround Needed Fiddelke, who is slated to start as CEO in February, will need to turn around sluggish sales, especially in e-commerce. Target has reported comparable sales growth during three of the past 10 quarters, according to data from Visible Alpha. Walmart's (WMT) digital sales appear to be growing at least three times as fast as Target's, Bank of America wrote in a research note Friday. The number of consumers actively using Target's app fell 4.1% year-over-year in July, while the volume of domestic Walmart app users shot up 17.2%, the research said. 'Digital traffic growth is key to scaling digital advertising and [third-party] marketplace fees, which are increasingly needed to mitigate gross margin pressures,' Bank of America said. Tariffs Pressure Profit Margins Target's profit margins may be particularly squeezed since it imports a greater share of merchandise than Walmart, Bank of America said. Target will likely need to raise prices more than some of its peers to offset tariffs, the analysts said. That may be tricky in an environment where even high-earners are focused on finding savings. Recent inventory has disappointed customers looking for the trendy, inexpensive finds that inspired the "Tar-zhay" nickname, company executives have said. Re-establishing Target's 'merchandising authority' is a priority for Fiddelke, along with improving the in-store experience and using technology to become more efficient, he said. Fiddelke argued on a conference call Wednesday that his experience—leading merchandising, finance, human resources, and operations teams—will be beneficial. 'There's real power in drawing on 20 years of knowing what makes Target, Target,' Fiddelke said, according to a transcript made available by AlphaSense, adding that this gives him clarity on 'what our unique path is that's going to lead to growth." Target also handed in second-quarter results Wednesday that beat or met analyst expectations, while affirming its full-year outlook. Read the original article on Investopedia
