David Meier: 我认为Target业绩下滑和降低全年销售增长预期表明管理层存在担忧。从增长到下降,以及从确定的数字到范围,都表明了担忧。尽管整体销售额下降,但Target的数字业务表现良好。消费者觉得数字服务非常有用,这并不奇怪。我认为Target需要以合适的价格为合适的客户提供合适的商品,并且需要继续加强其数字订单和履行能力。处理关税的最佳方式取决于受影响产品的销售数据,没有统一的解决方案,Target可以寻找替代产品来应对关税的影响。 Mary Long: 我认为Target的销售下滑受到多种因素的影响,包括消费者信心下降、关税以及DEI相关争议。零售业具有周期性,其中只有DEI争议是Target独有的。其他零售商也面临消费者信心、关税和不确定性等问题。我想知道这些因素对Target的长期发展会产生多大的影响。
