On Target's Q2 FY26 earnings call, Michael Fiddelke discussed the company's recent performance and strategic priorities. He noted that Target had lowered prices on over 10,000 items over the past year, describing this as a price investment that matters to consumers, and emphasized the importance of pairing that with greater differentiation across the store. He also addressed the balance between driving change and executing it effectively across Target's 2,000 stores and 400,000-person team, calling it a "high-grade opportunity" that requires clear sequencing and prioritization. Fiddelke highlighted growth in categories such as toys and entertainment, which now represent about 50% of sales, and said the company is investing in areas like baby health, wellness, and beauty. He acknowledged that home and apparel performance has not been satisfactory, with more work expected in 2027 and beyond, but pointed to encouraging guest responses in areas where changes have been made, such as kids' apparel and decorative accessories. He described food as a destination ambition and noted that home improvement is expected to be a multi-year journey.
