Target's discretionary-heavy product mix continues to underperform Walmart and Costco in the bifurcated consumer environment, with apparel and home categories showing persistent declines.

Boycott/brand controversies (2023) have lingering middle-income customer alienation. Turnaround thesis remains execution-dependent.
