Welcome back to Wall Street Roundup with our director of news here at Seeking Alpha, the illustrious Brian Stewart. Welcome back to another week.

Great to be here. Thanks a lot.

Target released earnings this week. I think that will say a lot about what's happening or what's

been happening in the retail picture, some concerns around Target. What have you seen out of Target

and what has been the market's response? So Target fell about 5% after its earnings were released yesterday.

However, it's rebounding about 3%.

So far today we're recording this on Thursday.

So all in all, you take the two days together, not much of a move, even though the news

out of the company was pretty disappointing.

Disappointing quarter lowered guidance.

Company is losing market share to places like Walmart and Costco.

There's also a cloud hanging over the company.

There's been a boycott based on its changing DEI policies.

Not clear how much of that is part of the problem or whether

it's more macro concerns. But the company lost ground earlier this year. So I think the general

take coming out of it is bad, but not worse than had already been baked into the stock. So still need to find the pivot

point for a turnaround and certainly not there yet. And other earnings that you've seen this week,

what would you put at the top of that list in terms of interesting and pertinent and valuable for investors

to know about? Well, playing off of Target, William Sonoma was down after its earnings as well.

It was down about 9% earlier today on those results. However, it's rebounded somewhat. It's now

down about 5%. So in a way, the same kind of reaction as

Target, an initial downturn after a disappointing report, and then stabilization from there.
