Amazon Prime Day Set to Generate Record Online Spending as Retailers Compete for Shoppers (AMZN)June 22, 2026 8:55 AM
IH Market News Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is preparing to launch its 12th annual Prime Day event on Tuesday, with industry forecasts pointing to a significant surge in online spending across the retail sector. According to Adobe Inc., the four-day promotion is expected to drive approximately $26.3 billion in online sales across Amazon and rival retailers, representing a 9% increase compared with the company’s July shopping event last year. Major Retailers Join the Promotional Battle While Prime Day remains Amazon’s flagship sales event, competitors are also looking to capitalize on heightened consumer activity. Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) and Target Corp. (NYSE:TGT) are scheduled to run overlapping promotional campaigns, creating a highly competitive environment for online shoppers. Research conducted by digital marketing agency Tinuiti found that nearly 60% of consumers planning to shop during Prime Day also intend to browse Walmart’s offers, while 35% expect to visit Target’s promotions. The survey was carried out in April. Prime Day Remains a Key Membership Driver Amazon launched Prime Day in 2015 as a strategy to attract new subscribers to its Prime membership programme. The service currently costs $139 per year and provides benefits including expedited shipping, access to video streaming content and a range of additional services. Over the years, Prime Day has evolved into one of the most important events in the retail calendar, helping Amazon strengthen customer loyalty while driving sales volumes. Prime Subscriber Base Continues to Grow According to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, approximately 201 million U.S. customers held Amazon Prime memberships as of March. That figure represents a 3% increase from the same period a year earlier, highlighting the continued expansion of Amazon’s subscription ecosystem. The growing Prime member base provides a large audience for the company’s annual sales event and remains a key competitive advantage. Amazon Expected to Capture Majority of Online Spending Research firm EMarketer estimates that Amazon will account for roughly 60% of all U.S. online retail spending generated during the Prime Day period. If achieved, that would represent the company’s largest share of event-related e-commerce spending since 2019. The projection underscores Amazon’s dominant position in online retail despite increasing competition from other major retailers. Discount Levels Seen Remaining Stable Adobe expects promotional activity during this year’s event to be broadly in line with the discounts offered during the 2025 Prime Day campaign. While discount depth may not increase significantly, retailers are still expected to use the event to stimulate demand and attract consumers across a wide range of product categories. With online spending forecast to reach new highs, Prime Day is once again poised to serve as a major barometer of consumer demand and e-commerce activity in the United States.

https://corporate.target.com/news-features/article/2026/05/q1-2026-earningsTarget Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced its first quarter 2026 financial results.The Company reported first quarter GAAP and Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.71, compared with prior-year GAAP EPS2 of $2.27 and Adjusted EPS of $1.30.  The attached tables provide reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures. All earnings per share figures are calculated on a diluted basis."First quarter financial results were stronger than expected, providing encouraging early signs that our clarified strategy is resonating with our guests and driving broad-based growth across our business," said Michael Fiddelke, Chief Executive Officer of Target. "While we're pleased with our Q1 performance, our focus remains on building consistent, long-term growth, and we recognize there is much more work in front of us. As we look ahead, we're focused on staying disciplined and flexible in an uncertain operating environment and continuing to invest boldly in our team, capabilities, and an elevated guest experience to unlock our full potential over time."GuidanceThe Company has the following updated expectations for 2026:Net sales growth in a range around 4 percent compared with 2025 - two percentage points higher than the prior range. The Company continues to expect to grow net sales in every quarter of the year.Full-year 2026 operating income margin rate more than 20 basis points higher than the 4.6 percent Adjusted operating income margin rate in 2025.GAAP and Adjusted EPS near the high end of the prior guidance range of $7.50 to $8.50.Operating ResultsNet Sales of $25.4 billion in the first quarter were 6.7 percent higher than last year, reflecting a 6.4 percent increase in merchandise sales and a 24.6 percent increase in non-merchandise sales. Comparable sales grew 5.6 percent in the first quarter, reflecting a comparable store sales increase of 4.7 percent and comparable digital sales growth of 8.9 percent. First quarter operating income and Adjusted operating income3 were $1.1 billion, a 22.9 percent decrease from prior-year GAAP operating income and a 29.1 percent increase from prior-year Adjusted operating income.First quarter operating income margin rate and Adjusted operating income margin rate3 were 4.5 percent in 2026, compared with the prior-year GAAP operating income margin rate of 6.2 percent and an Adjusted operating income rate of 3.7 percent. First quarter gross margin rate was 29.0 percent, compared with 28.2 percent in 2025, reflecting improved productivity in supply chain facilities, growth in advertising and other non-merchandise revenues, and lower markdown rates, partially offset by higher product costs. First quarter SG&A expense rate and Adjusted SG&A expense rate3 was 21.9 percent, compared to 2025 GAAP SG&A expense rate of 19.3 percent and Adjusted SG&A expense rate of 21.7 percent. This increase reflects the impact of higher compensation costs, including additional hours and training for field teams along with higher incentive compensation, planned spending related to capital projects, and higher marketing expense, partially offset by the leverage benefit of strong topline growth.Interest Expense and TaxesThe Company's first quarter 2026 net interest expense was $117 million, in line with $116 million last year.First quarter 2026 effective income tax rate was 24.4 percent, compared with the prior-year rate of 25.0 percent, reflecting lower discrete tax expenses in the current year.Capital Deployment and Return on Invested CapitalFirst quarter capital expenditures of $1.0 billion were 31 percent higher than last year, driven primarily by increased investments in new stores and store remodels.The Company paid dividends of $516 million in the first quarter, compared with $510 million last year, reflecting a 1.8 percent increase in the dividend per share, partially offset by the impact of a lower share count.The Company did not repurchase any stock in the first quarter. As of the end of the quarter, the Company had approximately $8.3 billion of remaining capacity under the repurchase program approved by Target's Board of Directors in August 2021.For the trailing twelve months through first quarter 2026, after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) was 12.4 percent, compared with 15.1 percent for the trailing twelve months through first quarter 2025. The tables in this release provide additional information about the Company's ROIC calculation.Webcast DetailsTarget will webcast its first quarter earnings conference call at 7:00 a.m. CT today.

When applicable, these measures exclude certain discretely managed items. Management believes this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of Target's operations. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (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 Target's 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.Reconciliation of Non-GAAPAdjusted EPS

Note (a) to the Operating Metrics table provides additional information about interchange fee settlements.2026 GAAP EPS, SG&A expenses, SG&A expense rate, operating income, and operating (income) margin rate may include the impact of certain discrete items, which may be excluded in calculating Adjusted EPS, Adjusted SG&A expenses, Adjusted SG&A expense rate, Adjusted operating income, and Adjusted operating income margin rate. The guidance does not currently reflect any such discrete items, which are subject to variability and therefore cannot be reconciled without unreasonable efforts. In the past, these items have included both gains and losses, including certain asset impairments, severance, and other items that are discretely managed.Reconciliation of Non-GAAPAdjusted EPS Guidance

In Low Pole Reversal mode/pattern since 14 May 2026. GLTA

Five key themes investors will be watching in markets this weekMay 18, 2026 6:33 AM
IH Market News Global bond market volatility, tensions involving Iran and a packed earnings calendar are set to dominate investor attention in the coming days. Results from AI chip leader NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) will headline the corporate agenda, alongside earnings from major retailers including Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Target (NYSE:TGT). Markets are also monitoring reports that SpaceX could release documentation tied to its long-awaited IPO later this week. 1. Bond market selloff remains a central concern The sharp selloff across global bond markets has become one of the biggest issues facing investors at the start of the new trading week, with rising yields continuing to pressure equities.The yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury hovered near a 15-month high, while government bond yields in Europe and Asia climbed to multi-year peaks. Bond yields move inversely to prices.Markets have become increasingly concerned that the surge in oil prices caused by the conflict involving Iran could reignite global inflation pressures. Investors are now debating whether central banks, including the Federal Reserve, may need to raise interest rates further if elevated energy prices persist.As volatility spreads through bond markets and borrowing costs rise for households and businesses, finance ministers from G7 countries are scheduled to meet in Paris on Monday. 2. Investors continue monitoring Trump’s Iran strategy The ongoing conflict involving Iran remains another major focus for global markets as the war approaches its 80th day.Although a ceasefire between Washington and Tehran has now lasted longer than the initial phase of fighting that began in late February, uncertainty remains over whether a durable peace agreement can ultimately be reached.President Donald Trump’s recent visit to China, one of the largest buyers of Iranian oil, failed to produce any agreement from Beijing to support a peace arrangement. However, Trump told Fortune magazine that Tehran has been “dying to sign” a deal.For now, markets appear to be facing a prolonged but unstable stalemate.Analysts at Vital Knowledge said Trump now faces a critical choice between resuming military operations or continuing efforts toward diplomatic de-escalation.“We think the latter remains the most probable scenario, but the odds of the former have certainly risen, and media reports over the weekend suggest Trump is receiving extensive briefings from advisors about various military options,” the analysts wrote. 3. Nvidia earnings expected to test AI optimism Despite geopolitical uncertainty, Wall Street has remained relatively resilient thanks largely to continued enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence.That optimism will face a major test this week when NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) releases quarterly earnings after markets close on Wednesday.Nvidia has become one of the most influential companies in global markets due to its dominant role supplying advanced AI chips, making its results a closely watched indicator for both the technology sector and the broader stock market.Large technology companies continue to commit enormous sums toward AI infrastructure investment, and analysts expect Nvidia to deliver exceptionally strong results. Still, some investors have started questioning how sustainable this level of spending may be among major cloud and hyperscale operators. 4. Retail earnings may offer clues on consumer resilience Strong corporate earnings have helped support equities despite geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.This week, however, several major retailers are due to report results that could provide insight into how consumers are handling inflation concerns and economic uncertainty.Alongside Walmart (NYSE:WMT), investors will also focus on results from Target (NYSE:TGT), TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX), and Home Depot (NYSE:HD).Some market participants believe households could begin reducing spending as higher fuel prices linked to tensions involving Iran put additional pressure on consumer budgets. Consumer spending represents more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. 5. Markets await possible SpaceX IPO filing Investors are also watching closely for developments surrounding the potential IPO of SpaceX.According to media reports, Elon Musk’s space company is targeting June 12 for a possible public listing, which could become the largest IPO ever completed.If those plans remain on schedule, the company — expected to trade under the ticker “SPCX” — may release its IPO prospectus as early as this week.The filing would provide investors with their first detailed look at SpaceX’s financial structure, operations and ownership arrangements, making it one of the most closely anticipated documents in global equity markets.Nvidia stock priceWalmart stock priceTarget stock priceTJX stock priceHome Depot stock price Original: Five key themes investors will be watching in markets this week

Target Ramps Up Store Investments to Fuel New Chapter of GrowthMarch 5, 2026 6:01 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Target to open more than 30 new stores in 2026, with the first seven opening this MarchRetailer's 2,000th store to open in Fuquay-Varina, N.C., featuring Target's open-layout design that delivers an elevated guest experience MINNEAPOLIS, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced plans to open more than 30 new stores in 2026, including its 2,000th location in Fuquay-Varina, N.C. The openings are part of a new chapter in the company's strategy to drive long-term, sustainable growth by investing in stores. This includes plans to add more than 300 new stores by 2035, with seven locations welcoming guests this March as part of the company's continued expansion.Target's new stores and remodels are supported by its $5 billion capital investment plan for 2026 — reflecting its commitment to deliver a more consistent, elevated shopping experience, while leveraging technology to fulfill online orders faster and easier for guests. This comes alongside an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in additional store payroll and training to improve guest service in 2026.  These investments help Target deliver against the growth priorities laid out by CEO Michael Fiddelke that will guide the retailer's decision-making in 2026 and beyond."Guests tell us all the time they want a Target closer to home, and this investment helps us do exactly that," said Adrienne Costanzo, chief stores officer, Target. "That means even more neighborhoods will get the full Target experience: trend-forward style and value, technology that makes the trip effortless and awesome teams who deliver easy, inspiring and friendly moments every single day."About Target's 2,000th storeThe 148,000-square-foot North Carolina store, located near Raleigh, represents the future of Target's elevated guest experience with its open, easily navigable layout, convenient same-day services and winning team delivering a more relaxed and enjoyable shopping visit. In fact, 92% of shoppers at Target's newest store format are highly satisfied with the overall experience, according to guest surveys.The Fuquay-Varina store is Target's latest food-forward prototype, with a food and beverage department that is 30% larger than the chain average, offering an extensive selection of guest-favorite owned and national brands.For added convenience, the store will feature same-day services including Drive Up with 24 pickup lanes, Order Pickup and same-day delivery, along with next-day delivery options throughout the Raleigh market.With a CVS Pharmacy, Starbucks Cafe and Disney Shop at Target, the store will deliver a true one-stop shopping experience.It will be Target's 55th store in North Carolina, where the retailer also operates a regional distribution center and has had a presence since 1995.Last year, Target donated $8.9 million in community giving across the state — part of the company's commitment to giving 5% of profits to communities*. Target team members also volunteered more than 25,000 hours with North Carolina nonprofits in 2025.Accelerating store investment progress Six other new Target stores open this March in Bakersfield and Delano, California; Springfield, Missouri; Jersey City and West Orange, New Jersey; and Dallas, Texas. They are among more than 30 new stores Target is opening this year, and more than 130 remodels. Next-day delivery will also launch in more than 20 new metro areas including Indianapolis, Memphis, Tenn., and Cincinnati, reaching 60% of the U.S. population. Like the Fuquay-Varina store, each new location is bringing the best of Target: an easy, inspiring and friendly experience that keeps guests coming back, whether they're stopping in, picking up or shopping digitally. The retailer is also making a commitment to the neighborhoods it calls home."Every time we open a new Target store, we're planting roots in that community," Costanzo said. "That means in addition to delivering a better shopping experience that's faster and more reliable, we're creating growth and opportunity — through good jobs, support for local nonprofits and long-term economic investment in the neighborhoods we serve. When our teams and communities thrive, so do we."About Target

Target Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 EarningsMarch 3, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

MINNEAPOLIS, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fourth quarter net sales of $30.5 billion were in line with company expectations. Food & Beverage, Beauty and Toys delivered net sales growth in the quarter, with stronger trends in Essentials and Home compared to the third quarter. Non-merchandise sales grew over 25 percent with membership revenue more than doubling from a year ago, double-digit growth from Roundel and over 30 percent growth in marketplace. Same-day delivery powered by Target Circle 360 grew over 30 percent.Sales and traffic trends accelerated in the last two months of the quarter.Fourth quarter GAAP EPS was $2.30, including 15 cents of non-recurring business transformation costs. Adjusted EPS1 of $2.44 was favorable to last year and in line with company expectations. Full-year GAAP EPS was $8.13 compared with $8.86 last year. Adjusted EPS, which excludes non-recurring legal settlement gains and business transformation costs, was $7.57 and in line with company expectations.Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results. The Company reported fourth-quarter GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $2.30 and Adjusted EPS of $2.44, compared with GAAP and Adjusted EPS of $2.41 in 2024. GAAP EPS was $8.13 and Adjusted EPS was $7.57 for full-year 2025, compared with GAAP and Adjusted EPS of $8.86 in the prior year. The attached tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures. All earnings per share figures are calculated on a diluted basis."I'm incredibly proud of how our team navigated through a challenging year in 2025, as they focused on serving our guests while positioning our business for profitable growth in 2026 and beyond," said Michael Fiddelke, chief executive officer of Target Corporation. "Our team is firmly focused on writing Target's next chapter of growth, rooted in strengthening our merchandising authority, delivering an elevated and differentiated shopping experience, advancing our use of technology, and continuing to serve and invest in our team and communities. Target saw a healthy, positive sales increase in February, serving as an important milestone on our path back to growth this year, and reinforcing my confidence in the momentum we're building and the future we're creating together."GuidanceThe Company has the following expectations for 2026:Net sales growth in a range around 2 percent compared with 2025. This expectation reflects a small increase in comparable sales, with new store and non-merchandise sales contributing more than one percentage point of growth. The company expects to grow net sales in every quarter of the year.Full-year 2026 operating income margin rate approximately 20 basis points higher than the 4.6 percent Adjusted operating income margin rate in 2025.GAAP and Adjusted EPS of $7.50 to $8.50. Based on the expected timing of certain costs, the company expects Q1 GAAP and Adjusted EPS will be flat to up slightly from last year's Adjusted EPS of $1.30, with stronger year-over-year EPS growth expected through the balance of the year.Operating ResultsFourth quarter 2025 net sales of $30.5 billion were 1.5 percent lower than Q4 2024. Fourth quarter comparable sales decreased 2.5 percent, reflecting a comparable store sales decline of 3.9 percent and a comparable digital sales increase of 1.9 percent. Operating income, which includes the impact of non-recurring items, was $1.4 billion in fourth quarter 2025, a decrease of 5.9 percent from $1.5 billion in 2024. Excluding those non-recurring items, Adjusted operating income was $1.5 billion, slightly above last year.Full-year net sales decreased 1.7 percent to $104.8 billion from $106.6 billion last year, reflecting a 2.6 percent decrease in comparable sales partially offset by sales from new stores and growth in non-merchandise sales.Fourth quarter operating income margin rate, which includes the impact of non-recurring items, was 4.5 percent in 2025 compared with 4.7 percent in 2024. Excluding those non-recurring items, Adjusted operating income margin rate was 4.8 percent in 2025. Fourth quarter gross margin rate was 26.6 percent, compared with 26.2 percent in 2024, reflecting lower inventory shrink, lower supply chain and digital fulfillment costs, and growth in advertising and other revenues, partially offset by the net impact of merchandising activities, including higher product and import costs.Full-year operating income, which includes the impact of non-recurring items, of $5.1 billion in 2025 declined 8.1 percent from $5.6 billion last year. Full-year gross margin rate was 27.9 percent, compared with 28.2 percent in 2024, reflecting pressures from merchandising activities, driven primarily by higher markdowns and purchase order cancellation costs, and pressure from category mix, partially offset by lower inventory shrink and growth in advertising and other revenues. Fourth quarter SG&A expense rate, which includes the impact of non-recurring items, was 19.9 percent in 2025, compared with 19.4 percent in 2024. Excluding those non-recurring items, Adjusted SG&A expense rate was 19.6 percent in Q4 2025. Full-year SG&A expense rate, which includes the impact of non-recurring items, was 20.6 percent in 2025, compared with 20.6 percent in 2024. Excluding those non-recurring items, Adjusted SG&A expense rate was 20.9 percent in 2025. Both periods reflect the deleveraging impact of lower sales partially offset by disciplined cost management, as adjusted SG&A expense dollars in both periods were lower than in 2024.Interest Expense and TaxesThe Company's fourth quarter 2025 net interest expense was $99 million, compared with $90 million last year. Full-year 2025 net interest expense was $445 million, compared with $411 million in 2024. For both the fourth quarter and the full-year, the increased expense reflects higher average debt levels in the current year.Fourth quarter 2025 effective income tax rate was 20.1 percent, compared with 21.5 percent last year, reflecting the benefit of additional tax credits in the current year. The Company's full-year 2025 effective income tax rate was 22.3 percent compared with 22.2 percent in 2024, reflecting higher discrete tax expenses and higher global tax minimums, primarily offset by the benefit of additional tax credits in the current year.Capital Deployment and Return on Invested CapitalThe Company paid dividends of $516 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $513 million last year, reflecting a 1.8 percent increase in the dividend per share, partially offset by the impact of a lower average share count.The Company did not repurchase any shares in the fourth quarter. As of the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had approximately $8.3 billion of remaining capacity under the repurchase program approved by Target's Board of Directors in August 2021.For the trailing twelve months through fourth quarter 2025, after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) was 13.8 percent, compared with 15.4 percent for the twelve months through fourth quarter 2024. The tables in this release provide additional information about the Company's ROIC calculation.Webcast DetailsTarget will webcast its financial community meeting, including a Q&A session, beginning at 10.30 a.m. CST today.

When applicable, these measures exclude certain discretely managed items. Management believes this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of Target's operations. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (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 Target's results as reported in accordance with GAAP.

Futures slide and oil surges as Iran conflict rattles markets – what’s driving moves: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesMarch 3, 2026 5:26 AM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures are pointing decisively lower, even after Wall Street managed to recover on Monday in the wake of renewed hostilities involving Iran. President Donald Trump signaled that the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign could extend for weeks, stating Washington will do “whatever it takes.” Meanwhile, oil prices are climbing on fears of supply disruptions through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, while spot gold has eased as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Investors are also awaiting fresh quarterly results from Target (NYSE:TGT).



Futures point to a weak open



U.S. stock index futures tumbled early Tuesday, indicating a negative start after equities steadied in the previous session despite ongoing geopolitical tensions.As of 03:03 ET, Dow futures were down 540 points, or 1.1%. S&P 500 futures had fallen 76 points, also 1.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 347 points, or 1.4%.On Monday, both the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closed higher, rebounding from steep early losses triggered by weekend strikes on Iran by the U.S. and Israel that reportedly killed Tehran’s longtime leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended just 0.2% lower, having recovered much of its earlier decline.“[S]tocks saw pressure out of the gate, but the major indices staged an impressive rebound from their lows as U.S. equity investors stayed calm about events unfolding in the Middle East,” analysts at Vital Knowledge wrote in a client note.They added that although Trump suggested the campaign could continue for four to five weeks and Iran responded with air strikes across the region, the “consensus view is that this conflict won’t metastasize into an uncontrolled quagmire.”Beyond Iran, markets were also digesting a rebound in previously out-of-favor technology stocks and data showing a sharp rise in input costs for U.S. manufacturers.



Focus remains on Iran



The trajectory of the conflict remains uncertain, with Trump acknowledging that the situation could extend beyond initial expectations.At his first public appearance since the attacks began, Trump said “we’re already substantially ahead of our time projections,” but emphasized that “whatever the time is, it’s okay.”“Whatever it takes,” Trump said, later adding in a social media post that the U.S. possesses a “virtually unlimited” stockpile of certain weapons.Reuters reported that the joint U.S.-Israeli offensive has resulted in the sinking of at least 10 Iranian naval vessels and targeted more than 1,000 sites. Israeli forces have indicated they are continuing strikes in Iran and Lebanon, while also expanding operations in southern Lebanon.Iran has intensified its response, according to media reports, launching strikes early Tuesday against locations in the Gulf, including the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia and Dubai’s airport, a key international transit hub. Airline and hotel stocks were among Monday’s biggest decliners, reflecting fears of flight disruptions.Amazon’s cloud division disclosed that two of its facilities in the UAE and Bahrain were struck by drones and were “significantly impaired.”



Oil extends rally



Crude prices continued their upward march Tuesday, building on substantial gains from the previous session as concerns mounted over potential interruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.Brent crude futures surged 4.3% to $81.10 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate advanced 4% to $74.05 per barrel.Both benchmarks had already jumped more than 7% on Monday after rising as much as 13% to one-year highs.The escalation intensified after Iranian officials threatened to attack any vessel attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint through which roughly 20% of global oil supply flows.“While a full, long-term closure of the Strait remains an extreme scenario, even partial disruption to tanker traffic tightens market balances and could push crude prices materially higher if sustained. Continued military escalation and elevated risk premia in energy markets are likely to dominate price action until there is clearer evidence of de-escalation or alternative supply routes emerge,” Laurence Booth, Global Head of Markets at CMC Markets, told Investing.com.Some analysts have noted that OPEC+ producers may increase output, potentially cushioning the impact of major supply interruptions.Energy supply concerns weighed heavily on Asian equities Tuesday, with markets in South Korea, Tokyo and Taiwan posting losses. European shares also moved lower.



Gold slips as dollar strengthens



Spot gold edged lower after early gains, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar even as investors weighed escalating tensions and oil supply risks.Spot gold was last down 0.3% at $5,309.17 per ounce, after earlier climbing as much as 1% to $5,379.65. U.S. gold futures rose 0.2% to $5,320.24 per ounce. The metal had advanced 1% in the prior session.Gold typically benefits from geopolitical uncertainty but can lose appeal when the dollar appreciates.



Target earnings ahead



Target is scheduled to release its latest quarterly results, offering further insight into U.S. consumer behavior amid ongoing affordability pressures.While Trump has described the economy as “roaring,” surveys suggest many Americans are less optimistic. A Reuters/Ipsos poll last month found that 68% of respondents, including Republicans, disagreed with that characterization.U.S. economic growth slowed more than expected in the fourth quarter, though analysts largely attributed the slowdown to a temporary government shutdown, pointing to resilient consumer and business spending. Some economists forecast moderate expansion in 2026, aided in part by tax cuts enacted in Trump’s budget legislation last year.Against this backdrop, Target has struggled to attract cost-conscious shoppers, in contrast to competitors such as Walmart. The retailer’s profit has declined 14% over the past five years.Major shareholders, including pension funds in New York and California, have since begun publicly challenging management decisions.Target stock price

Five key market themes investors are watching this weekMarch 2, 2026 11:03 AM
IH Market News
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are dominating attention heading into the new trading week, after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran triggered a selloff in equities and a sharp rally in oil prices. Alongside the geopolitical backdrop, markets will also focus on major economic data releases and corporate earnings, including the February U.S. jobs report and quarterly results from Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) and Target (NYSE:TGT). Meanwhile, the White House is expected to convene major technology firms to address rising artificial-intelligence-related energy costs.



1. Iran conflict remains center stage



Geopolitical developments are expected to drive market sentiment as investors assess the fallout from U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran.Over the weekend, Washington and Tel Aviv confirmed coordinated strikes across Iranian targets that reportedly killed several senior officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Iranian opposition forces to challenge the country’s long-standing political system, though Reuters reported that many senior U.S. officials remain doubtful that regime change is imminent.Questions also remain about how long the United States intends to stay engaged militarily. Trump told the New York Times operations could continue for “four to five weeks.” He added that he has “three very good choices” for Iran’s future leadership but “won’t be revealing them now,” according to the newspaper.Iran responded with retaliatory strikes across the region, targeting locations tied to U.S. allies in energy-producing Gulf nations. Media reports citing U.S. Central Command said three American servicemembers were killed and five seriously injured, while Trump warned additional casualties could occur.Signs of escalation beyond Iran have also emerged, with Israel striking Hezbollah-linked positions in Lebanon. The Wall Street Journal reported that at least one U.S. aircraft had been downed in Kuwait.Markets reacted swiftly: U.S. stock futures dropped, oil prices surged amid fears Iran could disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and gold prices climbed as investors sought safe-haven assets.“So far, the immediate market response follows a well-worn script,” said Lauren Hyslop, Fund Manager at Mattioli Woods.“What makes this moment particularly watchable is the fork in the road ahead. A swift de-escalation would allow markets to shake off the initial losses with relative ease. Prolonged disruption to shipping and insurance, the more plausible near-term outcome, keeps energy prices elevated and sentiment fragile.”



2. Focus turns to U.S. nonfarm payrolls



Beyond geopolitics, investors will closely monitor a busy calendar of economic data releases.The February nonfarm payrolls report will be the week’s headline indicator, offering fresh insight into the strength of the U.S. labor market early in 2026.Artificial intelligence continues to influence labor-market discussions, with analysts increasingly debating whether automation could accelerate layoffs. Concerns intensified after payments company Block announced plans last week to cut roughly 40% of its workforce.Federal Reserve policymakers remain focused on employment trends, keeping interest rates unchanged while awaiting clearer signals on economic momentum.Economists currently expect the U.S. economy added about 58,000 jobs in February, down from January’s 130,000 increase.



3. Broadcom earnings in focus



On the corporate side, semiconductor group Broadcom will draw significant attention as investors look for updates on its artificial-intelligence chip strategy.While AI demand is widely viewed as a major growth driver, some analysts worry that expanding AI infrastructure could pressure margins and increase operating costs. CEO Hock Tan previously said the company holds a $73 billion backlog covering roughly the next 18 months, though management has cautioned margins may tighten.Analysts cited by Reuters have also raised concerns about customer concentration, noting that a large portion of Broadcom’s AI revenue depends on a small group of hyperscale clients, including Meta Platforms and Alphabet.The results arrive amid broader uncertainty about when heavy AI investment by hyperscalers will translate into stronger shareholder returns. Software stocks have already faced pressure from fears of disruption tied to emerging AI tools.The S&P 500 Information Technology index has declined more than 5% so far this year.



4. Target earnings to shed light on consumers



Retailer Target is also scheduled to report results, providing another gauge of U.S. consumer health amid ongoing affordability pressures.Although President Trump has described the economy as “roaring,” recent polling suggests consumer sentiment remains cautious. A Reuters/Ipsos survey last month found that 68% of respondents — including many Republicans — disagreed with that characterization.Economic growth slowed more than expected in the fourth quarter, though many economists attributed the weakness to a temporary government shutdown, pointing instead to resilient household and business spending.Target has struggled to match stronger performance from competitors such as Walmart, as budget-conscious consumers cut discretionary purchases. The company’s profits have declined roughly 14% over the past five years, prompting increasing scrutiny from shareholders, including major pension funds.



5. White House meeting with AI leaders



The AI narrative will shift to Washington later this week, where Trump is expected to host leading artificial intelligence and data-center companies at the White House.Microsoft, Amazon and Meta are reportedly among the participants and are expected to formalize an agreement aimed at shielding customers from rising electricity costs tied to AI infrastructure expansion, according to Reuters. AI startup Anthropic is also expected to attend, despite tensions with the administration over safeguards built into its systems.While the administration has strongly supported expanding U.S. AI capabilities to compete with China, the rapid buildout of power-hungry data centers has raised concerns about electricity prices ahead of November’s midterm elections.Analysts cited by Reuters cautioned that limiting energy price increases tied to AI expansion may prove difficult in practice.Broadcom stock priceTarget stock price

Target's Entire Cereal Assortment Will be Made Without Certified Synthetic ColorsFebruary 27, 2026 6:20 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Target is leading the industry as one of the first national retailers to make this changeMINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced that in May it will become one of the first national retailers that only carries cereals made without certified synthetic colors. This move is part of the company's strategy to lead with merchandising authority and drive its next chapter of growth."We know consumers are increasingly prioritizing healthier lifestyles, and we're moving quickly to evolve our offerings to meet their needs," said Cara Sylvester, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, Target. "Our new cereal assortment made without certified synthetic colors makes it easier for busy families to make choices they feel good about, and shows what it means to curate a great assortment and lead with merchandising authority."Target's guest insights and sales-trend data show a long-term shift toward foods made without artificial additives — particularly for the products families buy for their children.

The company is also providing Target GiftCards to help Minnesota-based team members and local store teams purchase and deliver essential food, clothing and household items directly to nonprofit partners serving Minnesota communities. A legacy of giving 
The 1 million volunteer hours Target team members contributed in 2025 build on Target's decades-long commitment to serving and strengthening communities nationwide. Since 1946, Target has dedicated 5% of its profit to communities – a legacy that today represents millions of dollars each week in financial support, products and services for nonprofit partners across the country. Target also empowers its team members to bring this commitment to their communities, with resources and a network of Target team member community captains who partner with local organizations to activate donations and volunteerism from Target throughout the year.These team member-driven efforts are further strengthened through long-standing partnerships with organizations such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Feeding America and local community organizations in neighborhoods where Target team members live and work. From supporting hunger relief and youth empowerment to creating moments of joy through programs like Target's Great Giftogether, these efforts reflect a holistic approach to community impact – combining financial resources, meaningful partnerships and hands-on service. About Target
