TARGET'S FOCUS ON LOWER PRICES IN THE GROCERY AISLE START TO PAY OFF AS COMPARABLE STORE SALES RISE

Sales at stores and digital channels operating over at least the past 12 months rose 2% in the second quarter reversing months of declines, including a 3.7% drop in the previous quarter, and a 4.4% decline during the company's final quarter of last year.

The number of transactions at the Minneapolis retailer increased 3% compared with the same period last year, with all six main merchandising categories, including fashion and home goods, showing strength. Online sales rose 8.7% and comparable sales in clothing increased 3% compared with a year ago as customers embraced new store brands like All in Motion and Wild Fable.

Target's profits and sales beat Wall Street expectations and the company increased its annual profit outlook, but said sales this year could come in at the low end of its guidance for unchanged to a 2% increase.

Shares spiked 13% after the announcement.
