Target earnings top estimates as sales jump 21%, boosted by strong holiday season, stimulus checks

Target exceeded Wall Street’s expectations for the fourth quarter, thanks to a strong holiday season and stimulus checks.
The company has gained market share with its e-commerce offerings and wide range of merchandise, as retail competitors temporarily closed and saw sales drop during the pandemic.
Still, Target declined to provide a forecast for the year ahead, saying the pandemic has made it too difficult to predict consumer patterns.

Target Q4 earnings top estimates as sales jump 21%
Target’s earnings topped Wall Street’s estimates, as its sales got a lift from a strong holiday season and stimulus checks.

Shares are up less than 1% in premarket trading.


The big-box retailer has benefited as shoppers look for easy and safe ways to buy groceries and other items. Its 2020 sales grew by more than $15 billion — greater than its total sales growth over the prior 11 years.

Target already reported holiday sales, but its online sales gained momentum into January as Americans received $600 stimulus checks.

Still, Target declined to provide a forecast for the year ahead, saying the pandemic has made it too difficult to predict consumer patterns.

Here’s what the company reported for the fiscal fourth quarter ended Jan. 30 compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by Refinitiv:

Earnings per share: $2.67 adjusted vs. $2.54 expected
Revenue: $28.34 billion vs. $27.48 billion expected
In the latest period, net income rose 66% to $1.38 billion, or $2.73 per share, from $834 million, or $1.63 per share a year earlier. Excluding items, Target earned $2.67 per share, more than the $2.54 per share expected by analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.


Revenue rose 21% to $28.34 billion from $23.4 billion last year, higher than analysts’ expectations of $27.48 billion.

Comparable sales, a key metric that tracks sales at stores open at least 13 months and online, rose 20.5% compared with a year earlier, as digital comparable sales rose by 118% year over year. That surpassed the 16.8% comparable sales growth that analysts expected, according to StreetAccount.


Target has attracted new customers and inspired more purchases with its e-commerce offerings and wide range of merchandise, from cereal to workout pants, as competitors like Macy’s and Kohl’s temporarily closed stores and saw sales decline during the pandemic. The big-box retailer said it gained about $9 billion in market share in the fiscal year, citing internal and third-party research.

Customers shopped more frequently with Target and bought more when they did during the holiday quarter. Combined traffic online and in stores grew 6.5% and the average ticket increased by 13.1% compared with a year earlier, the company said.

Target’s same-day services like curbside pickup and home delivery service Shipt have been especially popular. Sales through same-day services grew by 212% in the quarter. Sales through its curbside pickup service, Drive Up, grew by more than 500%.

By offering different shopping approaches, Target said it is strengthening customer loyalty. It said customers who shop in multiple channels — such as visiting stores and getting home deliveries by Shipt -- spend nearly four times more on average than a customer who shops only in stores and nearly 10 times more than a customer who only shops online.

In the months ahead, Target will face challenging comparisons because of its heightened sales levels during the global health crisis. It will have to hold on to customers and their wallets as Covid-19 cases decline, more Americans get vaccinated and people can potentially return to old habits. Instead of consolidating trips at a Target store or on its website, shoppers may spend weekends at the mall again or put more of their money toward dining out, going to the movies or traveling.

As of Monday’s close, Target shares have risen nearly 81% over the past year and brought the company’s market value to $93.19 billion.

Stocks are flat after S&P 500 notches best day since June

Stock futures point to lower open after Monday’s surge
U.S. stocks held steady on Tuesday after the S&P 500 rallied more than 2% in the previous session for its best day since June.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose just 25 points. The S&P 500 was flat and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.1%.


The 10-year Treasury yield, a point of focus lately for equity investors, was flat at 1.45%.

Shares of Target gained 0.5% after reporting booming sales. Though the retailer declined to provide a forecast for 2021.

U.S. equities began March on a strong note on Monday with the S&P 500 up 2.38%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average adding 1.95% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite jumping just over 3% after shedding 4.9% last week.

All 11 S&P sectors finished in the green and the S&P 500 posted its best day since June 5. Both the Dow and the Nasdaq clinched their best trading day since November.

Economically sensitive, cyclical sectors like energy and financials continued to outperform the broader market amid optimism about vaccines and economic resurgence. Meanwhile, a pause in the market for U.S. debt allowed high-growth tech names to recoup a sizable portion of their recent losses. Facebook added 2.8%, Apple rose 5.4% and Tesla climbed 6.4%.


The 10-year yield, which had kept investors on edge for much of last week, dipped to a session low of 1.41% Monday before drifting back near the flatline. The 10-year yield stabilized around that level, below its high of 1.6% last week, which encouraged investors last week’s rapid rise in borrowing costs has abated for now.

“Anxiety over yields appeared largely responsible for a 3% retreat in the S&P 500 from a record high in the middle of” February, Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, said in a note.

“We expect this interruption to the equity rally to be temporary and believe investors should put the pullback in context,” he added. “The rise in yields has been led by optimism over growth, not
inflation worries, and so doesn’t yet pose a threat to risk assets.”

Investors on Tuesday will pore over comments made by both Securities and Exchange Commission Chair nominee Gary Gensler and Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard.

Gensler will testify before the Senate Banking Committee at 10 a.m. ET while Brainard will deliver a speech entitled “U.S. Economic Outlook and Monetary Policy” via a virtual meeting hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations.
