Brian Cornell, chairman and chief executive officer of Target, said this about the TGT stock earnings report:

“Our second quarter comparable sales growth of 24.3 percent is the strongest we have ever reported, which is a true testament to the resilience of our team and the durability of our business model. Our stores were the key to this unprecedented growth, with in-store comp sales growing 10.9 percent and stores enabling more than three-quarters of Target’s digital sales, which rose nearly 200 percent. We also generated outstanding profitability in the quarter, even as we made significant investments in pay and benefits for our team”

The company withdrew its FY2020 guidance back on March 25 due to the impact of the novel coronavirus on the business. However, we know what Wall Street is looking for. Analysts’ estimates call for EPS of $5.14 on revenue of $83.61 billion.

TGT stock was up 11.8% as of Wednesday morning.
