Target Set To Recruit 100K Seasonal Employees Despite Anticipated Slow Holiday Sales
In the face of a predicted slowdown in retail sales growth this holiday season, Target Corp. (NYSE:TGT) has announced its intention to recruit approximately 100,000 seasonal employees.
面對預測到的節假日銷售增長放緩，塔吉特公司（紐交所：TGT）宣佈招募約10萬名季節性員工。
What Happened: Target's hiring strategy is consistent with its approach over the last three years. This decision is made as the retail sector prepares for the slowest holiday sales growth in 6 years, according to Deloitte data, Reuters reported on Monday.
發生的事情：塔吉特的招聘策略與過去三年保持一致。根據德勤數據，零售行業準備迎接6年來增長最慢的節假日銷售，路透社週一報道。
The seasonal staff will be assigned to Target's stores and supply chain facilities, with the majority being stationed in stores. This follows Bath & Body Works (NYSE:BBWI) announcement last week to hire 30,000 seasonal employees, mirroring its 2023 figures.
這些季節性工作人員將被分配到塔吉特的門店和供應鏈設施，其中大部分將被駐紮在門店。這與上週Bath & Body Works（紐交所：BBWI）招聘3萬名季節性員工的公告相呼應，與其2023年的數字相一致。
With inflation worries looming, consumers are likely to be more cautious during the crucial shopping season. Target aims to attract value-conscious shoppers by offering more affordable holiday items, including over half of holiday toys priced under $20 and thousands of stocking stuffers under $5. Earlier this year, Target reduced prices on over 5,000 popular items, leading to a raised full-year profit forecast after reporting positive quarterly comparable sales. The company also announced the commencement of its deals week program, Target Circle, from Oct. 6.
面臨通脹擔憂，消費者在關鍵購物季節可能更加謹慎。塔吉特旨在通過提供價格更實惠的節日商品來吸引注重價值的購物者，其中超過一半的節日玩具定價低於20美元，成千上萬的小禮品定價低於5美元。今年早些時候，塔吉特對5000多種熱門商品進行了降價，報告了季度可比銷售額的正增長，隨後提高了全年利潤預測。該公司還宣佈從10月6日開始其特惠周計劃Target Circle。
Why It Matters: Target has been on an upward trajectory since last November, rallying nearly 77% from its October low. The company's strong second-quarter financial results and raised outlook have fueled analyst optimism. Target has increased its full-year 2024 adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $9.00 to $9.70, up from the previous range of $8.60 to $9.60.
爲什麼重要：自去年11月以來，塔吉特一直處於上升軌道，從10月份的低位上漲了近77%。該公司強勁的第二季度財務業績和提升的前景推動了分析師的樂觀情緒。塔吉特將其2024財年調整後每股收益展望提高到9.00至9.70美元的區間，上調自此前的8.60至9.60美元區間。
CNBC's "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer declared that Target is back on track after a period of struggle, following an earnings report that surpassed market expectations. This positive outlook could play a crucial role in Target's performance during the holiday season.
CNBC的《瘋狂金錢》主持人吉姆·克拉默（Jim Cramer）宣佈，塔吉特在一段低迷後重新上軌，其業績報告超出市場預期。這種積極的展望可能在塔吉特的節假日銷售中發揮關鍵作用。
