Target kept its 50-year dividend streak with a quarterly raise of 1.8%, the fourth straight quarter at that pace, a level far below prior multi-year increases. Operating cash flow fell about 11% in FY2026 while capex rose nearly 29% as the company remodels stores, and management is targeting a roughly 40% payout ratio over time.

Target reported 3.8% comparable sales growth and 3.6% foot-traffic increase in Q2, with digital comparable sales up 8.7% and same-day deliveries rising 25%.
