Target reported strong Q1 2026 results with net sales of $25.4 billion, a 6% increase in comparable sales, and adjusted EPS of $1.71 beating estimates. The company also doubled its full-year sales growth forecast to 4%. However, shares fell 7% due to cautious remarks from CEO Michael Fiddelke about macroeconomic uncertainty and profit-taking after a 33% year-to-date rally. This reaction sets a cautious tone for upcoming earnings from Walmart and Costco, both trading at high valuations and facing elevated expectations. Investors are advised to watch forward guidance closely and consider modest position trimming amid strong prior gains.
