When did Target Corp file this 10-Q?

Target Corp (TGT) filed this Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) with the SEC on May 29, 2026. The accession number assigned by EDGAR is 0000027419-26-000022.

What does a 10-Q disclose?

Form 10-Q is the SEC's quarterly report. Public companies file it after each of the first three fiscal quarters to disclose unaudited financial statements and management's discussion of operations. The fourth-quarter results are rolled into the annual 10-K instead.

What events did Boardroom Alpha flag in this filing?

BA's event-extraction layer identified this signal in the filing text: "Workforce reduction". It appears above the filing body as a labeled pill.

How is a 10-Q different from a 10-K?

Form 10-Q is filed three times a year (after Q1, Q2, and Q3 — the fourth quarter rolls into the 10-K). 10-Qs contain unaudited interim financial statements and a shorter MD&A. They're due 40 or 45 days after quarter end depending on filer size.

Where can I find Target Corp's prior quarterly reports on EDGAR?

The SEC EDGAR browser lists every 10-Q Target Corp has filed under CIK 27419, sortable by date. Use the "View on SEC EDGAR" link in the page header, or browse directly via https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Accounting Policies

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our most recent Form 10-K.

We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements.

We operate as a single segment that includes all of our operations, which are designed to enable guests to purchase products seamlessly in stores or through our digital channels. Nearly all of our revenues are generated in the U.S. The vast majority of our long-lived assets are located within the U.S.

Due to the seasonal nature of our business, quarterly revenues, expenses, earnings, and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

2. Net Sales

Merchandise sales represent the vast majority of our revenues. We also earn revenues from a variety of other sources, most notably advertising revenue and credit card profit-sharing income.

(millions)	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Apparel & accessories (a)	$	3,846	$	3,711

(f)Includes household cleaning, paper products, over-the-counter healthcare, vitamins and supplements, baby gear, and pet supplies.

Merchandise sales — We record almost all retail store revenues at the point of sale. Digitally originated sales may include shipping revenue and are recorded upon delivery to the guest or upon guest pickup at the store. Sales are recognized net of expected returns, which we estimate using historical return patterns and our expectation of future returns. As of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, the liability for estimated returns was $191 million, $155 million, and $186 million, respectively.

Revenue from Target gift card sales is recognized upon gift card redemption, which is typically within one year of issuance.


Gift Card Liability Activity	January 31, 2026		Gift Cards Issued During Current Period But Not Redeemed (b)		Revenue Recognized From Beginning Liability		May 2, 2026
(millions)
Gift card liability (a)	$	1,197	$	238	$	(420)	$	1,015

(a)Included in Accrued and Other Current Liabilities.

(b)Net of estimated breakage.

Advertising revenue — Primarily represents revenue related to certain advertising services provided via our Roundel digital advertising business offering. Roundel services are classified as either Net Sales or as a reduction of Cost of Sales or Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses, depending on the nature of the advertising arrangement.


TARGET CORPORATION						Q1 2026 Form 10-Q			9


			FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents
			NOTES			Index to Notes

Credit card profit sharing — We receive payments under a credit card program agreement with TD Bank Group (TD). Under the agreement, we receive a percentage of the profits generated by the Target Circle credit card receivables in exchange for performing account servicing and primary marketing functions. TD underwrites, funds, and owns Target Circle credit card receivables, controls risk management policies, and oversees regulatory compliance.

Other — Includes commissions earned on third-party sales through our Target Plus third-party digital marketplace, Target Circle 360 membership revenue, Shipt membership and service revenues, rental income, and other miscellaneous revenues.

3. Interchange Fee Settlements

In March 2025, we entered into settlement agreements to resolve credit card interchange fee litigation matters in which we were a plaintiff. As a result of these lump-sum settlements, during the first quarter of 2025, we recorded gains within SG&A Expenses of $593 million, net of legal fees.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels reflecting the significant inputs used to determine fair value.


Financial Instruments Measured On a Recurring Basis			Fair Value
(millions)	Classification	Measurement Level	May 2, 2026		January 31, 2026		May 3, 2025
Assets
Short-term investments	Cash and Cash Equivalents	Level 1	$	2,544	$	4,611	$	1,975
Prepaid forward contracts	Other Current Assets	Level 1	22		18		17



Liabilities
Interest rate swaps	Other Current Liabilities	Level 2	—		1		3
Interest rate swaps	Other Noncurrent Liabilities	Level 2	65		54		65


Significant Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value (a) (millions)	May 2, 2026				January 31, 2026				May 3, 2025
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current portion (b)	$	13,402	$	12,635	$	14,398	$	13,732	$	13,398	$	12,377

(a)The carrying amounts of certain other current assets, commercial paper, accounts payable, and certain accrued and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

(b)The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for the instruments. Where quoted prices are not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates. These amounts exclude commercial paper, fair value hedge adjustments, and lease liabilities.

5. Supplier Finance Programs

We have arrangements with several financial institutions to act as our paying agents to certain vendors. The arrangements also permit the financial institutions to provide vendors with an option, at our vendors' sole discretion, to elect to receive early payment of our payment obligations from the financial institutions at a discounted amount. A vendor’s election to receive early payment does not change the amount that we must remit to the financial institutions or our payment date, which is up to 120 days from the invoice date.

We do not pay any fees or pledge any security to these financial institutions under these arrangements. The arrangements can be terminated by either party with notice ranging up to 120 days.

Our outstanding vendor obligations eligible for early payment under these arrangements totaled $2.8 billion, $3.0 billion, and $3.3 billion as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively, and are included within Accounts Payable on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. These outstanding vendor obligations do not represent actual early payments made under supplier finance programs, which have historically been lower.

6. Long-Term Debt and Commercial Paper

Our unsecured long-term debt repayments during the three months ended May 2, 2026, were as follows:

Debt Repayments

(dollars in millions)

Repayment Date

Maturity Date

Principal Amount

Interest Rate (Fixed)

April 2026

1,000

2.50

We obtain short-term financing from time to time under our commercial paper program. There was no commercial paper outstanding at any time during the three months ended May 2, 2026, or May 3, 2025.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

Our derivative instruments consist of interest rate swaps used to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result, we have counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions, which we monitor on an ongoing basis. Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides the fair value and classification of these instruments.

We were party to interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.45 billion as of May 2, 2026, and $2.20 billion as of January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025. We pay a floating rate and receive a fixed rate under each of these agreements. All of the agreements are designated as fair value hedges, and all were considered to be perfectly effective under the shortcut method during the three months ended May 2, 2026, and May 3, 2025.

11. Segment Reporting

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM)—our Chief Executive Officer—monitors our consolidated net earnings and operating income to evaluate performance and make operating decisions including whether to invest profits into capital projects, make equity or other investments, or return capital to shareholders. Consolidated assets as presented on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position is the only view of assets regularly reviewed by our CODM.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Summary

First quarter 2026 included the following:

•Net Sales of $25.4 billion, an increase of 6.7 percent from the comparable prior-year period, driven by:

•A comparable sales increase of 5.6 percent, reflecting a 4.4 percent increase in traffic and a 1.1 percent increase in average transaction amount;

•The sales contribution from new stores; and

•Non-merchandise sales growth of 24.6 percent, primarily driven by growth in our Roundel digital advertising business offering.

•GAAP and Adjusted operating income1 of $1.1 billion was 22.9 percent lower than prior year GAAP operating income, which included $593 million of pretax net gains on interchange fee settlements. Excluding the settlement gains, Adjusted operating income was 29.1 percent higher than $0.9 billion in the prior-year.

1Adjusted diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and Adjusted operating income, non-GAAP metrics, exclude the impact of certain items. Management believes that Adjusted EPS and Adjusted operating income are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided on page 20.

We report after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) because we believe ROIC provides a meaningful measure of our capital allocation effectiveness over time. For the trailing twelve months ended May 2, 2026, after-tax ROIC was 12.4 percent, compared with 15.1 percent for the trailing twelve months ended May 3, 2025. The calculation of ROIC is provided on page 21.

Business Environment

Beginning in 2025, the U.S. imposed additional tariffs on a wide range of imported products using various legal authorities, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). These tariffs were subsequently modified through incremental increases, decreases, pauses, and limited exemptions. Approximately one-half of the merchandise we offer is sourced from outside the U.S., either directly or through our vendors, with China as the single largest source of merchandise we import.

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were not authorized by the statute. While the ruling did not establish a refund process, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) subsequently ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to implement a process to administer refunds, which CBP began executing with the April 20, 2026 deployment of the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) system for certain IEEPA refund claims.

We incurred tariffs under IEEPA, and are following the established refund filing and validation process through the CAPE system, along with other importers seeking IEEPA refunds. As of May 2, 2026, no refunds had been received and no receivable was recorded. Subsequent to quarter-end, we began receiving refunds, which to date have not been material. Due to the remaining uncertainties related to the process, timing, and amount of potential refunds, as well as a potential appeal of the CIT's order to issue refunds, we are unable to estimate the ultimate financial effects of IEEPA refunds.

After the Supreme Court ruling in February, the U.S. administration instituted new tariffs against most major trading partners, and has previewed future actions that could restore or exceed the level of the IEEPA tariffs. We continue to assess and respond to the evolving consumer, legal and regulatory environment.


TARGET CORPORATION						Q1 2026 Form 10-Q			14


			MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS			Table of Contents
			FINANCIAL SUMMARY			Index to Notes

The collective interaction of tariffs, IEEPA refunds, sourcing strategies, pricing actions, consumer response and behaviors, and other factors could materially impact our sales, results of operations, and financial condition in future periods.

Business Transformation Initiatives

In 2025, we announced a multi-year initiative to transform various aspects of our business—including our organizational structure, processes, and technology—to enable greater agility and optimize the use of the Company's assets. We incurred costs and charges related to our business transformation initiatives in 2025, including a reduction in our headquarters workforce. Refer to Note 7 to the Financial Statements in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, for additional information.

We did not incur any costs or charges related to these initiatives during the three months ended May 2, 2026, or the comparable prior-year period.

We may incur additional costs and charges related to these initiatives in future periods, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition; however, we cannot reasonably estimate the amount or timing of such costs and charges.

Merchandise Sales are net of expected returns, and our estimate of gift card breakage. Comparable sales include all Merchandise Sales, except sales from stores open less than 13 months or that have been closed. We use comparable sales to evaluate the performance of our stores and digital channels by measuring the change in sales for a period over the comparable, prior-year period of equivalent length. Comparable sales measures vary across the retail industry. As a result, our comparable sales calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Digitally originated sales include all Merchandise Sales initiated through mobile/computer applications and our websites. Our stores fulfill the majority of digitally originated sales, including shipment from stores to guests, store Order Pickup or Drive Up, and Same Day Delivery. Digitally originated sales may also be fulfilled through our distribution centers, our vendors, or other third parties.

Merchandise Sales growth—from both comparable sales and new stores—represents an important driver of our long-term profitability. We expect that comparable sales growth will drive a significant portion of our total sales growth. We believe that our ability to successfully differentiate our guests’ shopping experience through a careful combination of merchandise assortment, price, convenience, guest experience, and other factors will over the long-term drive both increasing shopping frequency (number of transactions, or "traffic") and the amount spent each visit (average transaction amount).

Gross Margin Rate

Quarter-to-Date

For the three months ended May 2, 2026, our gross margin rate was 29.0 percent compared with 28.2 percent in the comparable prior-year period. The increase reflected net benefits from:

•merchandising, primarily due to lower markdown rates and growth in advertising and other revenues, partially offset by higher product costs; and

•supply chain and digital fulfillment, including productivity improvements in supply chain facilities, and the leveraging impact of higher sales.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense Rate

For the three months ended May 2, 2026, our SG&A expense rate was 21.9 percent compared with 19.3 percent for the comparable prior-year period. Our comparable prior-period rate included a 2.5 percentage point benefit from interchange fee settlements, which are further described in Note 3 to the Financial Statements. Excluding this item, our Adjusted SG&A expense rate was 21.7 percent. The remaining 0.2 percentage point increase in 2026 reflected higher compensation expense, including stores payroll and incentive compensation, new store and remodel-related expenses, and the net impact of other cost increases. These cost increases more than offset the leverage benefit of higher sales.

Net Interest Expense

For the three months ended May 2, 2026, net interest expense was $117 million compared with $116 million in the comparable prior-year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 2, 2026, was 24.4 percent compared with 25.0 percent in the comparable prior-year period. The decrease reflects lower discrete tax expense in the current year, primarily related to share-based compensation.

			RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES			Index to Notes

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS), adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted SG&A expense rate, adjusted operating income, and adjusted operating income margin rate. These measures exclude certain items presented below. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). The most comparable GAAP measures are diluted earnings per share, SG&A expenses, SG&A expense rate, operating income, and operating income margin rate. Adjusted EPS, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted SG&A expense rate, adjusted operating income, and adjusted operating income margin rate should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, or not provide similar measures, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparisons with other companies.

We have also disclosed after-tax ROIC, which is a ratio based on GAAP information, with the exception of the add-back of operating lease interest to operating income.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Allocation

We follow a disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation based on the following priorities, ranked in order of importance: first, we fully invest in opportunities to profitably grow our business, create sustainable long-term value, and maintain our current operations and assets; second, we maintain a competitive quarterly dividend and seek to grow it annually; and finally, we return any excess cash to shareholders by repurchasing shares within the limits of our credit rating goals.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $3.5 billion, $5.5 billion, and $2.9 billion as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents balance includes short-term investments of $2.5 billion, $4.6 billion, and $2.0 billion as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively. Our investment policy is designed to preserve principal and liquidity of our short-term investments. This policy allows investments in large money market funds or in highly-rated direct short-term instruments that mature in 60 days or less. We also place dollar limits on our investments in individual funds or instruments.

Operating Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $0.7 billion and $0.3 billion for the three months ended May 2, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher accounts payable leverage and lower inventory levels. These benefits were partially offset by lower net earnings, reflecting the prior-year benefit from gains on interchange fee settlements, and higher income tax payments in the current year, reflecting timing.

Inventory

Inventory was $12.3 billion as of May 2, 2026 and January 31, 2026, and $13.0 billion as of May 3, 2025. The year-over-year decrease reflects higher than expected sales in the current year and the timing of inventory receipts.

Investing Cash Flows

Cash required for investing activities increased to $1.0 billion for the three months ended May 2, 2026, compared to $0.8 billion for the three months ended May 3, 2025, due to higher capital expenditures.

Dividends

We paid dividends totaling $516 million ($1.14 per share) for the three months ended May 2, 2026, and $510 million ($1.12 per share) for the three months ended May 3, 2025, a per share increase of 1.8 percent. We declared dividends totaling $526 million ($1.14 per share) during the first quarter of 2026 and $515 million ($1.12 per share) during the first quarter of 2025, a per share increase of 1.8 percent. We have paid dividends every quarter since our 1967 initial public offering, and it is our intent to continue to do so in the future.

Share Repurchase

We did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended May 2, 2026. See Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 8 to the Financial Statements for more information.

Financing

Our financing strategy is to ensure liquidity and access to capital markets, to maintain a balanced spectrum of debt maturities, and to manage our net exposure to floating interest rate volatility. Within these parameters, we seek to minimize our borrowing costs. Our ability to access the long-term debt and commercial paper markets has provided us with ample sources of liquidity. Our continued access to these markets depends on multiple factors, including the condition of debt capital markets, our operating performance, and maintaining strong credit ratings. As of May 2, 2026, our credit ratings were as follows:


Credit Ratings	Moody’s	S&P
Long-term debt	A2	A
Commercial paper	P-1	A-1

If our credit ratings were lowered, our ability to access the debt markets, our cost of funds, and other terms for new debt issuances could be adversely impacted. Each of the credit rating agencies reviews its rating periodically, and there is no guarantee our current credit ratings will remain the same as described above.

We repaid $1.0 billion of unsecured debt in April 2026. Note 6 to the Financial Statements provides additional information.

We have the ability to obtain short-term financing from time to time under our commercial paper program and credit facilities. Our committed $1.0 billion 364-day and $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities that will expire in October 2026 and October 2028, respectively, provide a liquidity backstop to our commercial paper program. No balances were outstanding under either credit facility or our commercial paper program at any time during 2026 or 2025. Note 6 to the Financial Statements provides additional information.

Most of our long-term debt obligations contain covenants related to secured debt levels. In addition to a secured debt level covenant, our credit facilities also contain a debt leverage covenant. We are, and expect to remain, in compliance with these covenants. Additionally, as of May 2, 2026, no notes or debentures contained provisions requiring acceleration of payment upon a credit rating downgrade, except that certain outstanding notes allow the note holders to put the notes to us if within a matter of months of each other we experience both (i) a change in control and (ii) our long-term credit ratings are either reduced and the resulting rating is non-investment grade, or our long-term credit ratings are placed on watch for possible reduction and those ratings are subsequently reduced and the resulting rating is non-investment grade.

We believe our sources of liquidity, namely operating cash flows, credit facility capacity, and access to capital markets, will continue to be adequate to meet our contractual obligations, working capital, and planned capital expenditures, finance anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives, fund debt maturities, pay dividends, and execute purchases under our share repurchase program for the foreseeable future.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we conducted an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).
