No. They pour every cent of profit back into expansion and new ventures.
Plus, about half their sales are ‘third-party’ where they take a cut and thus make money even when the real vendor may be losing money. Not only a cut of the sales price but also a cut of the S&H fee!

Some kinda mixup in the plumbing there. How is a woman gonna do number 1 in a urinal?
I'm still boycotting Target over the way they dumped the Salvation Army bell ringers years ago.
The RULE is: NEVER, EVER ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO ENTER A BATHROOM WITHOUT YOU.
That is the only solution.
The whole transgender issue is moot....if you are a man, in a mens restroom....any transgender man will have to use a stall....who cares....Likewise, in a woman’s restroom....everybody uses a private stall....and, by the way...if your little daughter is using a restroom and you are not FULLY in charge....you are missing the boat.
Haven’t shopped there in years. Don’t plan to go back.
