Shares of Target (NYSE: TGT) were moving higher today after the big-box retailer reported mixed results in its earnings report, but it was enough to give the stock a boost as low expectations were already baked in.
As of 10:05 a.m. ET, Target stock was up 5.2%.
In an environment where consumer spending has shifted from goods to services, and sales of discretionary goods have fallen, Target managed to top profit estimates but sales were weak.
