On May 18, 2022, Target announced results for the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2022. Among other items, Target disclosed that gross margin for the quarter was 26.75%, down 426 basis points from the prior year. Target attributed the decline to unanticipated changes in consumer spending, as well as higher supply chain costs. Additionally, Target announced that inventory was $15.08 billion, up approximately $1.1 billion compared to fourth fiscal quarter of 2021, attributing the elevated inventories to changing consumer spending habits. Finally, Target also revised its fiscal year 2022 outlook, lowering its fiscal 2022 guidance concerning operating margin to 6% from a margin rate of 8% or higher. Target attributed the guidance reduction, in part, to unexpected cost headwinds.
On this news, Target's stock price fell $53.67 per share, or 24.93%, to close at $161.621 per share on May 18, 2022.
