Target Corp Not Confident It Will Meet Analysts’ 4Q Expectations

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

Target Corp is hinting that meeting analysts’ projected earnings of $1.12 a share for its fourth-quarter may be difficult.

 

"I believe this figure lies within a range of potential outcomes and also believe that many things would have to fall in place to meet or exceed this figure," said Chief Financial Officer Doug Scovanner in a call with analysts.

 

Customers are increasing their visits to Target but buying less per visit, the company reported.

 

Shares of Target were down 4.8% to $47.84 after the store expressed its concerns.
