Edward Jones analyst Brian Yarbrough said that last year, as consumer purchasing power began to normalize, high growth levels may not be sustainable.

This week, Target launched a pet food brand called Kindful. 

“Our commitment is to continue to accelerate our own brand faster than our base,” Hennington said. As part of a plan to spend $4 billion a year on opening small and medium-sized stores and refurbishing, Target opened two new “mobile centers” to send small batches of goods to stores more frequently within three months. The renovation of more than 100 stores is also in progress, and 19 new stores have opened. For the second half of the year, Target’s leadership expects comparable sales to achieve high single-digit percentage growth, close to high-end. From the perspective of the target range, its sales in the first half of the fiscal year are expected to be 48.7 billion U.S. dollars.”
