Target Just Lowered Its Outlook. Is It Time to Sell the Stock? (Target stock dropped below its support low)
The Motley Fool ^ | 8/22/23 | Demitri Kalogeropoulos

Target (NYSE: TGT) missed the mark in its mid-August earnings report. The retailer announced surprisingly weak sales for the second quarter and reduced its revenue outlook for 2023 thanks to soft demand in a few big areas.

There were some bright spots in the report, to be sure. And Target isn't the only company that is seeing sluggish demand for consumer discretionary products right now.

Target's previous low was $126.48 on June 12th.

It's now at about $123.46

Chart buyers and sellers will begin to sell off their shares and the price will go lower and lower.

Price was at $169 in April. That's a 27% drop.

[It] is seeing sluggish demand for consumer discretionary products right now.

*********

Who couldn't see this coming with the prices of the necessities of life (i.e., food, shelter, energy, utilities, medical care, insurance, taxes, etc.) steadily rising and eroding discretionary spending?

Sell it? Who bought it anyway? I quit shopping there years ago when they opened restrooms to mentally ill perverts. My few ‘forced’ visits only confirmed reasons to skip. I definitely dont own stock in companies i disagree with, why would anyone. No profit anyway.

Find out what Jim Cramer has to say. Then consider doing the opposite.

Target WOKE - Target going BROKE.

Anyone see a pattern here?

With “back to school” going on this should not be occurring with Target at this time. There should be a surge.

Families are avoiding Target.

the Targets around here look void of customers, big empty parking lots I went there looking for clothes but it was hard to tell the "mens department" from the ladies department

it is getting harder and harder for me to find gender correct mens clothing.

I don't want stretch polyester with pastel prints

“flies”?

I think it is fleas.

REgardless, PI** on Target. They went woke hears ago with the tranny bathroom crappola. I haven’t shopped there since. And, when the city council told the coppers to stand down in 2020 and let the DNC-hired Antifa/BLM thugs to trash downtown I cheered when Target got “targeted”.

If Jim Cramer calls it a good buy, then it is time to sell (assuming you haven’t already).

Depends on what you paid for it of course. I might buy some when it gets down to the penny stock level.
