Go Woke, Go Broke/Woke Alerts:

Most def since it shows target is doing better :blush:

Here is another view

Oh, or this one

An anti dei lawsuit…. Go broke?

All bad. Go broke? Or get sued?

Well this (stock price) chart is pretty brutal.

so brutal in fact I suspect it has nothing to do with anti-woke backlash
and is just plain old
“They forgot how to do business” or some such.

Probably has to do with Walmart having a healthy internet sales and target failing to do so on every level.

Walmart purchased a bunch of online retailers for billions of dollars because it saw the future

Target is still better at brick and mortar but their online sales suck.

You know why wokeness will always lose in the end?

Yes, Target was doing great. Then look at the dates. They flattened out and started to decline when they started pushing trans celebration and related clothes…including for kids. And they added to that by doing unsupported attacks on half of their customer base. They alienated trans supporters by pulling back from their trans celebrations and then alienated conservatives by blaming alleged threats by them as the supposed cause for their pulling back.
Most tone deaf top management ever.

Yeah that flattened out. In huge part because of their inability to sell things online. That’s why the stock price plummeted too.

It’s as easy to buy online from target as from Walmart. In fact, wit their red card you don’t have to pay delivery expenses.

That is my reading of it.
the world was their oyster, They started to achieve escape velocity . . . and they ruined it.

(The stock decline was much deeper. Probably wokeness plus other stuff.
Gross sales dropped a little. Stock dropped a lot.)

Look at their online annual sales. It’s not about personal experience. Stock prices never are :blush:. Neither is stumbling revenue growth

Stumbling growth, both online and in stores, is not necessarily a thing unrelated to offending half your customer base. I have seen enough comments elsewhere on the internet about never shopping at Target again to see that is going,to have an effect on their sales.
