Shares of general merchandise retailer Target (NYSE:TGT) fell 22.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported weak third-quarter results. Despite a modest increase in comparable sales driven by strong guest traffic and digital sales, same-store sales declined by 1.9%, reflecting a drop in in-store purchases. Profitability also came under pressure, as gross margin fell slightly due to higher supply chain and fulfillment costs. This,combined with elevated operating expenses, contributed to a significant EPS miss. Additionally, Target's full-year EPS guidance was reduced and missed significantly, further disappointing investors. Management called out "unique challenges and cost pressures that impacted our bottom-line performance." Overall, this was a surprisingly bad quarter.
