What Is the Target Corporation (TGT) Class Action Lawsuit About?

Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Target Corporation (“Target” or “the Company”) (NYSE: TGT) and certain of its officers.

Class Definition

This lawsuit seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Target securities between March 9, 2022, and November 19, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case.

What Does the Target Corporation Securities Class Action Allege?

The Complaint alleges that the Defendants misled investors by making false and misleading statements about Target’s Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) mandates that led to widespread customer boycotts following Target’s 2023 LGBT-Pride campaign (the “2023 LGBT-Pride Campaign” or the “Campaign”). The Complaint continues to allege that negative effects of the Campaign on Target’s business, including a subsequent campaign in 2024 (the “2024 Campaign”), led to a massive decline in Target’s stock price, and specifically, the 2023 LGBT-Pride Campaign offended certain Target customers, provoking consumer backlash and boycotts that caused Target’s sales to fall for the first time in six years. The Complaint also states that unbeknownst to investors, and contrary to Target’s public statements, Target’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Brian C. Cornell (“Cornell”) and its Board of Directors (the “Board”) did not oversee or disclose the known risks of Target’s 2023 LGBT-Pride Campaign and the 2024 Campaign.
