June 7, 2022, Target is taking decisive action by marking down unwanted items and canceling orders in order to clear out extra inventory. Anything that is about staying at home will not move. They did the right thing for back to school and no one wants to touch it. They wouldn’t be able to bring in the right items if they weren’t able to. Huge hit to the bottom line, as the retailer slashed operating margin for the current quarter to 2% from 5.3%, but said it would recover to 6% in the back half of the year. In premarket trading, shares fell more than 9%. The whole retail group will be under pressure from this. There will be a lot of hard goods in the channel so I recommend buying shares after they get hit. Morgan Stanley says Walmart is ready for this and doesn’t have a problem.
