TARGET CORP (TGT) Form 10-Q — Aug 28, 2026
Target's second quarter of fiscal 2026 delivered net sales of $26.5 billion, up 5.3 percent year over year, on a 3.8 percent comparable sales increase driven by 3.6 percent traffic growth. Non-merchandise revenue grew 20.1 percent, led by the Roundel digital advertising business. Diluted EPS more than doubled to $4.11 from $2.05 and operating income rose 94.4 percent to $2.6 billion, but the results include a one-time $994 million benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds booked as a reduction of cost of sales, worth $1.65 per share after tax. Excluding the refund, operating income growth was approximately 19 percent, with gross margin expanding to 33.7 percent from 29.0 percent a year ago.
