Target, a barometer of the American consumer, is predicting a sluggish 2024.
Target said Tuesday that it expects its sales to decline by up to 5% during the first quarter of the year. For the full year, Target projects sales to grow by up to 2%.
The company’s business has slowed since a pandemic surge in 2020 and 2021.
Target’s core middle-class customer base has been strained by higher prices and pulled back on discretionary goods, such as home decor and non-essential clothing.
Nevertheless, the company exceeded sales expectations for the holiday season, and Target’s (TGT) stock surged 8% higher Tuesday in premarket trading.
