Target (TGT) reported a 6.7% increase in net sales for Q1 2026 and raised its full-year net sales guidance to about 4%, showing resilience despite inflation and gasoline prices nearing $5 per gallon. Consumer spending remains strong, supported by solid retail and restaurant earnings, challenging fears that inflation would heavily impact lower-to-middle income consumers. Meanwhile, Kohl's struggles with negative sales trends despite a short squeeze, and Restaurant Brands International sees a 5.8% same-store sales rise at Burger King, defying bearish views on low-income consumer spending. This suggests that consumer demand is holding up better than expected amid economic pressures.
