Target's sales are tumbling — and its DEI moves aren't helping

quote:

Target reported sliding sales in its first quarter to May 3.

CEO Brian Cornell said sales "fell short of our expectations" in a "highly challenging environment."

Cornell also said post-tariff price increases would be a "last resort."

Target sales fell sharply in the three months to May 3, in a period marked by its decision to roll back DEI initiatives in January.

In an earnings call Wednesday, Target CEO Brian Cornell said the reaction to the DEI changes was one of several "additional headwinds" that had an adverse impact on sales, but the company could not quantify the amount.

Stock fell more than 6% in premarket trading and was down 28% this year at Tuesday's close.

You’d think they’d have more customers since 50% of the population is lgbt

Inflation is out of control all over the country and people are doing their best to get by and spend less. Companies are threatening to or have already raised prices because of tariffs even more. But yeah its because they went woke or something. Some of you are just ate up with the politics.

They took a hit when they implemented DEI and all the bathroom nonsense, and they've taken a hit trying to roll it all back.

It is almost like they never should have done that controversial shite in this highly-charged political environment in the first place. Politics, of any kind, is rarely ever good for business.

I mean, they acknowledge it in their own damn investor briefings.
