Target Sets 2026 Growth Path After 2025 Earnings
Target reported Q4 2025 net sales of $30.5 billion (down 1.5% year over year) with GAAP EPS of $2.30 and adjusted EPS of $2.44; full-year net sales were $104.8 billion and GAAP/Adjusted EPS were $8.13/$7.57. Growth drivers included strength in Food & Beverage, Beauty and Toys, plus more than 25% growth in non-merchandise sales as membership revenue more than doubled and Roundel and marketplace momentum expanded. The company guided for 2026 to deliver about 2% net sales growth, a modest improvement in operating margin (roughly 20 basis points), and GAAP/Adjusted EPS of $7.50–$8.50; Q1 2026 EPS is expected to be flat to up slightly from last year’s adjusted $1.30. Target also highlighted a healthy balance sheet with remaining buyback capacity and a trailing twelve-month ROIC of 13.8%, with a webcast planned for today.
