[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been boycotting Sinclair and channel 7 for years: the presenters look like stepford wives and there is always a tone of fear or urgency to their reporting, or with the scrolling news on screen.

Prefer other local channels where newscasters look and behave like actual real people.[/quote]

So how has that worked out for you?  Are they out of business yet?[/quote]

It's worked out great because I found out I really like Wusa9.

I'm also saving a lot of money by not shopping at Target. Win win. [/quote]

We just shopped at Target this afternoon.  It's weird that some of you seem to think you destroyed them and made them go broke.  [/quote]

Target Revenue by 1./4

2nd 1/4 2024 - $25M
3rd 1/4 2024 - $25M
4th 1/4 2024 - $30M

1st 1/4 2025 - $24M
2nd 1/4 2025 - $25M

I guess you showed them…..[/quote]
First, what is your source for the posted numbers? Anybody can just post some random numbers without any authoritative source for the reader to verify.

Second, revenue is not earnings. What were Target’s Earnings during the timeframes you referenced. Revenue is what they sold. Earnings is what the kept, the bottom line, after taxes, salaries, expenses , dividends, etc are all paid out from the Revenue. Salaries, utilities, and other expenses typically increase year over year due to inflation. If the Revenue remained the same year over year, that’s not stable or growth, but a decline in the company’s bottom line profits. The stock price dramatic decline is an indication that Target is hurting. [/quote]

Just go look at Target's quarterly reports.  It isn't hard.  Thisis from the second quarter report.  Draw your own conclusions.

"Guidance

For fiscal 2025, the Company is maintaining its expectation of a low-single digit decline in sales, and GAAP EPS of $8.00 to $10.00. Adjusted EPS, which excludes the gains from litigation settlements in the first quarter, is expected to be approximately $7.00 to $9.00.

Operating Results

Net Sales of $25.2 billion in the second quarter were 0.9 percent lower than last year, reflecting a merchandise sales decrease of 1.2 percent, partially offset by a 14.2 percent increase in non-merchandise sales.  Comparable sales decreased 1.9 percent in the second quarter, reflecting a comparable store sales decline of 3.2 percent, partially offset by comparable digital sales growth of 4.3 percent.  Second quarter operating income of $1.3 billion was 19.4 percent lower than last year."[/quote]
Heck, even Target reported that there’s a sales decline, and expecting a further decline in the future. The operating income is 19.4% lower than this time last year. What’s your argument again that Target was doing okay and the boycott did not have an impact. [/quote]

Operating income went down because salaries went up and they paid down debt. The boycott has zero to do with that. They sold the same amount of product. The point of a boycott is for people not to buy there. That didn’t happen. [/quote]
