Target Corporation reported softer results for fourth quarter and full-year 2025 but outlined plans for a return to growth in 2026. Fourth quarter net sales were $30.5 billion, down 1.5%, with comparable sales down 2.5% as store traffic declined but digital comparable sales grew 1.9%.

Fourth quarter GAAP EPS was $2.30, including $0.15 of business transformation costs, and Adjusted EPS was $2.44 versus $2.41 last year. For 2025, net sales fell 1.7% to $104.8 billion, GAAP EPS declined to $8.13 from $8.86, and Adjusted EPS was $7.57, lower than $8.86 in 2024, reflecting prior-year interchange fee settlement gains and current-year transformation costs.

Gross margin improved modestly in Q4 to 26.6% on lower inventory shrink and fulfillment costs, while full-year gross margin eased to 27.9%. Operating income for 2025 fell 8.1% to $5.1 billion, and after-tax ROIC was 13.8% versus 15.4% a year earlier. Operating cash flow remained strong at $6.6 billion, funding $3.7 billion of capital spending and $2.1 billion in dividends; the company did not repurchase shares in Q4 and has $8.3 billion remaining under its authorization.

For 2026, Target expects net sales growth around 2%, an operating income margin about 20 basis points above the 4.6% Adjusted operating income margin rate in 2025, and GAAP and Adjusted EPS of $7.50–$8.50, with first-quarter EPS expected to be flat to slightly above last year’s Adjusted EPS of $1.30.

Target Corporation executive Lisa R. Roath has filed an initial statement of beneficial ownership as an executive officer. The filing reports direct ownership of 16,156 shares of Target common stock, reflecting her current holdings rather than a new purchase or sale.

Target Corporation reported that it expects fourth-quarter 2025 sales, full-year GAAP earnings per share, and full-year Adjusted earnings per share to be in line with its previously issued guidance. This indicates performance tracking to management’s earlier outlook rather than a major upside or downside surprise.

Under new CEO Michael Fiddelke, Target is also restructuring its senior leadership to support its growth strategy. Effective February 15, Cara Sylvester becomes chief merchandising officer, focusing on style, design, and merchandising capabilities, while Lisa Roath becomes chief operating officer, concentrating on operational speed, efficiency, and the shopping experience. At the same time, chief commercial officer Rick Gomez will depart and Jill Sando, chief merchandising officer for apparel and accessories, home and hardlines, will retire, both remaining briefly to support the transition. Target plans an external search for a new chief guest experience and marketing officer.

Target Corporation announced senior leadership changes. Effective February 15, 2026, longtime executive Lisa Roath will become Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, with an annual base salary of $775,000.

Also effective February 15, 2026, Rick Gomez will step down as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer and move into an advisor role as a non-executive officer until April 17, 2026. During this transition, he will keep his current base salary and target bonus opportunity. He is expected to depart on April 17, 2026 under circumstances that qualify him for severance under Target’s Income Continuation Plan and partial vesting of his long-term incentive awards.
