Target demonstrated the competitive advantages of its same-day services in its latest quarterly update to investors.
Target (NYSE: TGT) stock rose 10.3% on 21st August, as compared to a 0.4% increase in the S&P 500 index. While Target's single-day performance stood out, overall sentiment toward retailer stocks was buoyant as indicated by a sharp increase in stock price for some of Target's peers too, including TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) which was up 6.1% and Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) which gained 4.2%.
Over the past two years, retailers have had a tougher time getting inflation-battered shoppers to spend at their stores. But for the biggest chains, some analysts say, that's become less of a problem.
Target Corporation TGT shares are trading lower on Thursday.
