Target Extends Losing Streak; JPMorgan Downgrades Stock
"Stakeholder Capitalism" Is Just Corporate Communism
Another day of losses for Target shareholders.
But another day of victory (and visibility) for Target "stakeholders." More on that in a bit.12.8 billion (and counting) reasons to re-think hiring and marketing practices? Shares of retailer Target fell as much a 3.8% on Tuesday, extending losses to an eighth session which brought the company's share price to its lowest intraday level since August 2020.John Nolte:
JPMorgan downgraded its outlook on Target's stock from a "neutral" rating to "overweight." Prior to the retailer coming out last week as satanic child groomers, JPMorgan had Target listed at a price target of $182. After the retailer came out of the closet as satanic child groomers, JPMorgan dumped that to just $144. Hope you are enjoying your Pride Month, Target:I sure hope so. Target is also facing its "longest losing streak in 23 years." Lol. How's your Pride Month going so far, Target? So far, my Pride Month has been pretty awesome. On May 24, the Target stock price was $143. Today it's down to $130.
"We continue to believe that the consumer is broadly weakening while the share of wallet shift away from goods (51% of [Target's] sales) is ongoing," wrote JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers. "While still positive on a [three-year] basis, [Target] has been giving back share on a [one-year] view and we believe this share loss could accelerate into back to school and linger into holiday given consumer pressures and recent company controversies. This could turn [Target's] traffic negative after an impressive run of 12 consecutive positive quarters." "Target is facing consumer pressures and the effects of recent controversies," JP Morgan said.
But remember, Blackrock, Vanguard, and Obama's other corporate socialist suckbuddies have engineered an economy based on "stakeholder capitalism" -- not shareholder capitalism, but "stakeholder" capitalism, in which everyone -- from the workers to the gays who have nothing at all to do with the company -- is of a higher priority than the actual owners of the company. "Stakeholder capitalism" -- true name, corporate communism -- claims that everyone has a "stake" in a company. Everyone. A "stake" is an intangible, non-monetary interest. Every person in the LGBTQ Mafia has a "stake" in Target whether or not they shop there, and whether or not they own stock. Their "stake" is a general stake in whether or not corporations act as "allies" and provide "visibility" -- mainstreaming -- to their groomer causes. So Blackrock, Vanguard, and Obama's cadre of well-heeled radicals have invented a theory of fiduciary duty in which there is little to no duty owed to those with an actual financial stake in the company, and a major duty owed to those who don't have a stake in the company. And you can't sue them for mismanagement or misappropriation of shareholder value because this theory says, "You don't have a special privilege just because you own Target stock. Target owes a more important duty to Trans Five Year Olds, who must be 'validated' and made to feel 'seen' by us stocking baby-sized 'Ask Me About My Pronouns' onesies. We have to weigh our (limited) duty to shareholders against our much more important duty to 'stakeholder.'" Don't like that Target is destroying your value, Target shareholders? Well shut up bigot, and suck a Lady Penis, because Dylan Mulvaney and Lia Thomas are "stakeholders" in Target and xeir feelings are more important than your dirty monetary stake in the company. Below, Midnight's Edge explains "stakeholder capitalism," which is a euphemism for "socialism." If it seems like companies are no longer attempting to please their customers or their shareholders -- you have interpreted the situation correctly. They now consider customers and shareholders to be disfavored groups of very low priority. The important groups they are trying to please are "the oppressed" and "the marginalized," even if they have nothing to do with the company, even if they do not buy its projects, even if they do not invest in it. This isn't a mistake -- it's the entire intent of Stakeholder Socialism. Skip to 17:13 to hear about "stakeholder capitalism." The beginning just talks about Disney producing one bomb after another, destroying shareholder value -- and calling themselves heroes for doing so. And then he talks about ESG and lines of credit being conditioned on keeping a high ESG score. And then he plays a clip of Bob Iger telling a shareholder who is sick of Disney's money-burning woke agenda that no, Disney will never abandon its commitment to "improving the world" and "increasing tolerance," even if that costs shareholders money. In the last bit of the video, Blackrock founder Larry Fine talks about his philosophy of "forcing" people into leftwing social change. He says "force" about six times in two minutes. He's proud to use his economic clout to force people to be leftists.

target stock shareholders have all of the ammo they need to file a lawsuit against the target ceo and board with this downgrade.
target has abandoned it's fiduciary responsibility to it's shareholders in their quest to be woke and it is harming all shareholders.

Dude must have been reading some MAGA_Ken comments.
The stakeholder battle was lost in the 90s. It’s not some recent invention. What is more recent is tying a company’s financial access to “stakeholders”.
Also I bet if a shareholder sued a company’s board of directors for the value lost pursuing stakeholder interests that a judge would through it out of court.

They tried, they were going to do a race swap murder she wrote with Octavia Spencer. Angela Lansbury still had some clout apparently when she was alive, she helped kill the project. Now she's dead maybe they will pull a Tolkien heir gambit and revive it.
Ironically, Octavia is on a hit list from the black community because she does not always say the approved things about black culture and race.

I’ve basically become an economic hippie over the last few years. It’s a rigged game. Frankly I’m halfway to Bernie Bro territory wanting to stick it to billionaires (which 99% seem to be pretty evil). I also think foundations and NGOs should have shelf life of 10 years then they have to liquidate assets and monetary amount strict limits on educational foundations ($100 million or so).
I also think that no one should be allowed to donate to campaigns they cannot vote in.

If they can kill primary debates for the DNC when they are trying to play POTUS kingmaker with Newsome, he has a shot. He's an absolute imbecile when grilled. The Adam Carolla podcast interview with him is still a golden, chef's kiss moment of showing how dumb he is next to an interviewer like Adam, someone with lived experience about how dumb the left is, mixed with logic, facts, and a quick mind.

Ron Paul actually called this some years ago.
"Corporatism", when corporations are still "independent" but do the bidding of the government. The government does not own "the means of production" (communism), but tells the corporations what to do (fascism). So yeah, "national socialism" is pretty close to "fascism", or "corporatism".
And remember that stupid old Joe Biden willingly does what he is told.
And despite the boogeyman that the WEF is made out to be (and they are bad people), they are again, just a front for other (handful) people who have a LOT of money and want to rule the world as global oligarchs. And they are pretty damn close to getting their way.

They're not supposed to but shareholders don't pay much attention(worse since widespread indexing became the norm) and keeping management from doing stupid shit with investor money is a key problem studied in finance. The "principal-agent problem".

But if there is NOT a bullet hole after a shot? One of the crew will raise and wave a stick which projects about 4 ft. above ground level, being visible to the shooter.
Affixed to this stick, is a stylized cardboard cutout, in the shape of a set of boxer shorts, or actual shorts mounted so as to be fully visible as such in direct view. Usually, red or pink in color.
This is called "Maggie's Drawers", and they communicate that the shooter has Missed the Target.
I think flying a Maggie's Drawer's flag in proximity to a Target store, would be a great meme. Yeah, about 0.002% of the AWFLs who shop there would have the faintest clue as to the meaning. But WE would, and that's good enough for me.

Combine this number with the fact that Target has chosen to emphasize groceries and consumables (very low margins) over clothes and furnishings (much higher margins) over the last few years, and it guarantees that every Target in an blue state urban area is already running at a significant loss. Red State stores have been making money and propping up the corp, but if the Boycott cuts their numbers, the entire house of cards could come tumbling down quite quickly.

It's the obvious response - and that's why I said that management does not have the will to do what needs to be one to save it.

They can't - because the virtue signaling to maintain their LBGTLMNOP+++++? score won't let them leave. They are facing huge losses in blue areas which are supported by suburban store profits. They have much less financial buffer than most people think. Bankruptcy wouldn't kill them, they'd re-organize, but it would be a glorious feather in our cap to force it. Blackrock is just praying the real estate market doesn't completely collapse or else they are toast - which would be awesome indeed. And Fink is beginning to run into a dispute with Fed Chairman Powell - who has anointed Jamie Dimon to be the grand poohbah of private lending - not hedge funds. More popcorn please.

My wife was once a Target fanatic, she loved going there just for the looks, and how clean and bright it was (as opposed to Walmart, which even at the best of times is pretty much a jumbled mess) But she's quit going because she says over the last 5 or 6 years it's as though they quit trying, the merch lost the appeal it had and the store quit doing the things that she and the early aficionados loved so much. (I think this coincided with their move into groceries and consumables) And during Covid, the shelves got empty, the stores got dirty, and they've never gotten back the "feel" they once had.

Blackrock would own that bar.

Getting an initial 100% return on your money via corporate matching is not a con - it's stupid to not take it. If you have funds with too much Blackrock and State Street exposure move it. If that's all you have then I admit it is a bit tough.

If I were a shareholder, I'd fucking fie this CEO tomorrow, along with the entire board. But the biggest shareholders - vanguard and BlackRock, are in favor of this.
So, easy, every red state needs to put these institutions on notice that they'll be getting zero funds going forward if they practice stakeholder capitalism. Just pass a law that all money must be invested only with companies that practice shareholder capitalism. Oh, and make sure union members know that their retirement is based on the ROI, and this bullshit has a terrible ROI.

Real head-scratcher, that.

If you look at demographics, the all-important “under 30” crowd retailers want, LARGE percentages of these little snowflakes either identify on the alphabet spectrum, or think of themselves as “allies.” Of the younger crowd that doesn’t, the rest mostly just don’t care. So its all win, no lose. Meanwhile, the conservative right (historically at least) won’t engage in majorly boycotts like this for long. Women do most of the Target shopping, and your typical red-state suburban Chick-Fil-A wine mom can’t stay away from target tooo long.
So they think this will blow over. If not, you close a few stores, lose 20% market share, and go right on being woke AND solvent.
The wrinkle is that their stores are getting hardcore looted in blue areas populated and run by exactly the sort of trash progressives claim to care about. So if you get a really motivated conservative base that walks away, AND you’re having to close stores… then the boycott could really hurt target.

Dave Ramsey, at the end of the day, would have been the first rube to lose all his money at the beginning of the Great Depression.
Dave Ramsey, at the end of the day, is all about Dave Ramsey. He's a salesman. Nothing more.
