Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) is an American retailer known for its chain of discount department stores and hypermarkets. The company has been making strides in several critical areas. Efforts to manage costs effectively have contributed to a 19% year-over-year increase in operating income. It continues to excel in its omnichannel strategy, with digital comparable sales rising 4.7% in the first quarter and same-day delivery sales through its membership program growing by 35%. To enhance efficiency and responsiveness, management has launched a new enterprise acceleration office aimed at using technology and data to boost connectivity and agility across the organization. This initiative is designed to improve operational speed and functionality, further strengthening Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT)'s digital capabilities. In addition, Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) is also grabbing investors' attention due to its consistent dividend policy. In June this year, the company declared a 2% hike in its quarterly dividend to $1.14 per share. Through this increase, the company stretched its dividend growth streak to 54 years, which makes it one of the best dividend stocks for retirement. The stock has a dividend yield of 4.42%, as of July 30.

World Kinect Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
MIAMI, July 31, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Kinect Corporation (NYSE: WKC) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Highlights Gross profit of $232 million GAAP net loss of $339 million, or $6.06 per diluted share Adjusted net income of $33 million, or $0.59 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA of $87 million Repurchased $35 million of common stock Year-Over-Year Segment Profitability Aviation – Gross profit of $138 million, an increase of 8%, primarily attributable to a higher profit contribution from our operated airport locations in Europe and our business and general aviation activities. Land – Gross profit of $67 million, a decrease of 17%, primarily attributable to the recent sale of the U.K. land business and the exit from certain North American land operations in the fourth quarter of 2024, as well as a lower profit contribution from our liquid fuels business in North America principally as a result of reduced demand. Marine – Gross profit of $27 million, a decrease of 26%, principally due to an unfavorable transaction tax settlement recorded in the second quarter and weaker performance at certain marine physical inventory locations. Second Quarter 2025 – Goodwill and other asset impairments, Restructuring, and U.K. land fuels sale In our Land segment, we recognized non-cash intangible asset impairments totaling $367 million in the second quarter, of which $359 million related to goodwill and $8 million related to other intangible assets. In our Marine segment, we recorded a $32 million asset impairment in the second quarter related to an underperforming physical inventory location that no longer aligns with our long-term strategic objectives. On April 9, 2025, we completed the sale of our U.K. land fuels business. The sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of $82 million in the second quarter, which included the recognition of cumulative translation losses of $55 million, which had no impact to shareholders' equity or cash flows. In June 2025, as a component of our company-wide transformation initiative, we launched a program intended to optimize our global finance and accounting operations. As a result of this program, we recognized $6 million in restructuring charges during the second quarter.

For more information, visit Definitions "Net income (loss)" means net income (loss) attributable to World Kinect as presented in the Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. "Operating margin" means income (loss) from operations as a percentage of gross profit. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating our ongoing financial performance and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs associated with our acquisitions, and non-operating legal settlements, primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of our core operating results. We also exclude costs associated with a previously disclosed erroneous bid made in the Finnish power market (the "Finnish bid error") that resulted in the extraordinary losses. We use the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted net income attributable to World Kinect ("Adjusted net income") is defined as net income excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs, non-operating legal settlements, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share ("Adjusted EPS") is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. For the purpose of calculating Adjusted EPS, the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is adjusted to include the convertible note hedges. Potentially dilutive securities include share-based compensation awards, such as non-vested restricted stock units, performance stock units where the performance requirements have been met, settled stock appreciation rights awards, and the convertible notes. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as net income including noncontrolling interest and excluding the impact of interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, in addition to acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs, non-operating legal settlements, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error. Adjusted income from operations is defined as income (loss) from operations excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, integration costs, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error. Adjusted income from operations as a percentage of adjusted gross profit ("Adjusted operating margin") is computed by dividing Adjusted income from operations by Adjusted gross profit (as defined below). Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, integration costs, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error. Consolidated and Land Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding the impact of costs associated with the Finnish bid error. Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow minus total capital expenditures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in this press release and on our website.
