In commenting on Q3 results Brian Cornell, Chairman and CEO stated, “The consistently strong growth we're seeing in our business, quarter after quarter, is a testament to the passion and commitment our team brings to serving our guests, and the trust we've built with them as a result". He added "Following comp. growth of nearly 21 percent a year ago, our third quarter comp increase of 12.7 percent was driven entirely by traffic, and reflects continued strength in our store sales, same-day digital fulfillment services and double-digit growth in all five of our core merchandising categories. With a strong inventory position heading into the peak of the holiday season, our team and our business are ready to serve our guests and poised to deliver continued, strong growth, through the holiday season and beyond."
Target provided guidance for a Q4 increase in comparative sales of “between high single digits to low double digits.” Operating margin for FY 2021 would be 8 percent.
