Target Corp. ( TGT ) posted stronger-than-expected third quarter earnings Wednesday, and lifted its full-year outlook for same-store sales, but noted margin pressures linked to supply chain disruptions and labor costs. Target said adjusted earnings for the three months ending in October were pegged at $3.03 per share, an 8.6% increase from the same period last year and well ahead of the Street consensus forecast of $2.83 per share. Group revenues, Target said, rose 13.3% to $25.65 billion, again besting analysts' estimates of a $24.78 billion tally. Gross profit margins for the quarter, however, narrowed by 2.6 percentage points to 28%. Target said same-store sales rose 12.7%, well ahead of the Refinitiv forecast of 8.4%. Comparable digital sales, as store traffic rose nearly 13% as customers returned to traditional shopping in the wake of pandemic-era restrictions. Digital comparable sales were up 29%, Target said.
