Target market cap now down $10.5 billion in wake of boycott

The American Family Association's pledge to boycott Target because of its policy to allow men into women's bathrooms, and vice versa, has reached 1.3 million signers, and Target's stock (TGT) continues to suffer compared to that of its natural competitors.

At the close of trading on Tuesday, the boycott-induced direct decline in Target's market cap was $9.2 billion. By the end of this week, that exceeded $10 billion.

Since April 19, the date the policy came into effect, Target's market cap has declined 19.4%. By comparison, the corresponding market cap of natural competitors such as Costco (COST), Walmart (WMT), Dollar General (DG), and Dollar Tree (DLTR) has displayed an entirely different behavior over this time frame.

Can’t speak for COSCO, never shopped there, but Dollar Tree has single use unisex bathroom, Dollar General does not let you use theirs (at least in my area), and as of yet Wal Mart has not weirdo policy on their bathrooms.

This may be why their stocks are doing well.

The idiots at Target sure screwed the pooch with this fiasco. Serves them right. Decent Americans just don’t get into the sexual deviancy thing. I will never go into a Target store again. Ever.

Bad business practices don’t seem to hurt high level executives. Even when they run a business into the ground some of then get multi-million dollar bonuses.

How is this even possible? Surely they have gained all of the profits from the “transgender” and general perverted or brainwashed market...

Down DOWN D-O-W-N they go!! Such a bit of good news! They just don’t have a clue, do they! Or they do, and don’t care. So much for their feelings for their customers.

Done with Target unless their CEO admits the mistake and subscribes to Christian family values.

Just for the sake of clarification: By this, I assume you mean that Dollar Tree's bathroom accommodates only one user at a time, with a door that locks, as opposed to Target, where multiple people can be in the same restroom at the same time.

Mostly they switch horses. But, the man at the top eats it if his executives make really bad decisions and he carries the stigma forever. It why Carly Fiorina hasn’t been employed since she put HP in the toilet.

I guess they’re learning that there aren’t near enough “trannies” out there to make up the difference.

By the way, it wasn’t so long ago that everyone knew what was meant by the word “tranny”. It was a fag dressing up like a woman and going out trolling for gay men who wouldn’t admit to themselves they were gay.

Walmart will not comment on what their restroom policy is regarding transgenders.

Target’s stock reflects what investors think the value of the stock will be. By dropping the price, investors are saying the road ahead is rocky and difficult. Why become the center of the toiler wars. When an executive is more interested in social issues and does not know his customers, much like Congress and the citizens they supposedly represent, the less time and energy they spend on their business. You can’t serve two masters. Target is in deep trouble going forward. Don’t be surprised to see the stock in the 40”s
