The stock value of transgender-champion Target Corp. crashed by 13.5 percent this week after the company’s sales again fell below investors’ expectations.
Target’s stock value is now down by 30 percent since it sparked a consumer boycott by embracing the transgender political agenda. That 30 percent drop has slashed investors’ wealth by roughly $15 billion.
On Tuesday, the stock fell to $58.78, down from its April 19 high of $83.98. In contrast, WalMart is up 3 percent since April, and Kohl’s is down less than one percent.
Company officials indirectly acknowledged the consumer boycott. “Our fourth-quarter results reflect the impact of rapidly changing consumer behavior, which drove very strong digital growth but unexpected softness in our stores,” Target CEO Brian Cornell said in a company statement. The company also admitted that it would likely continue to experience losses through the year.

Let this be a lesson to you, if you want to stand up and fight, this is how you do it, with you time and money... That is all these clown know or want or expect... Let them make all the stupid statements they want, let them fall inline with PC because of what Obama bin laden did... Now there is a new sheriff in town and it doesn't go by PC, so start boycotting places you don't like their stance on... Help the companies you do like their stance on!!!
As said before, they will change their tune once that money stops coming in...
2:05 or maybe it proves that this issue is more important to them than money?
Too bad, so sad.
Welcome Target Shoppers to Our New State of the Art Transgender Bathrooms! How's that working for ya now? The shoppers left to go shop elsewhere and they are not coming back.
Goodbye Target!
Couldn't happen to a better company.
I believe Starbucks is also hurting for their liberal stance on Gay Marriage and illegal immigrants. The CEO of the company stated that if your are a straight married couple against gay marriage, he does not want you as a customer. This was reported on the Doug Hagmann report last week.
Nationwide boycott has been called against them as well.
what a surprise, people are not willing to accept every bleeding heart liberal freak issue the media tries to shame us into accepting .
LOL I Seen there stock has went down 13% LOVE IT.IF they where smart they would ask for the CEOs head.
Keep up the good work true patriots. You are helping drain the swamp. God bless America.
Will never shop there again!
I plan to keep boycotting hopefully you will too
I have not been there since their little "announcement". Nor do I plan to go back, unless they go back to their old policy.
Yeah - keep draining and the deals I've seen at Target will even be better for many who don't bother with bathrooms at Target!!!! Its all about the deals that help my family too!
Target has been the last store on my list of places to goto since they do not say Merry Christmas. I would rather not give them my business.
2:05- Doubt it! Just too stubborn to admit they made a mistake and correct that mistake. Let them rot. I have not been back, but I really did not go much in the first place.
2:58 PM - get somebody to proofread your comments, please.
4:19. Seriously?
This is the shore dude, deal wit it.
LOL! Liberals are soooo stupid, they think the whole world believes the same disgusting things that they do! This is exactly what Target deserves, and what all the people who work their deserve, too.
When Target goes out of Business -- and it will -- it will not be Trump's fault, although I warn you that the liberals will do their best to blame Trump for Target's Failure. It will be the Fault of Liberals. Do Not Let Them Forget!!
Most all brick n mortar retailers had bad earning and are in danger of closing. More to do with changing shopping habits than bathrooms. Read the wall street journal, you might learn something.
Target is a French owned company...let the froggies have them!
I haven't been to Target in years since I found out they wouldn't support the Toys for Tots or the U.S. Marines but wood support all the homosexual causes. And now the transgenders agenda.
Go Away Target! Salisbury Doesn't Want You Anymore Because You Support Gays and Men Who Dress Like Women!
640 typical liberal! Always with your own narrative. Lol.
2:11 Are you really that stupid??
There are no deals at Target
If I were to shed a tear for them, I would buy the tissues elsewhere! Self inflicted wound; hope they can their goofy CEO before they financially bleed out.
And the same to Starbucks! And all flavors of Disney (ABC, ESPN).
