Target (TGT +1.80%), one of America's top retailers with nearly 2,000 stores, saw its stock plunge by more than 30% over the past five years.

Target (TGT +1.80%), one of America's top retailers with nearly 2,000 stores, saw its stock plunge by more than 30% over the past five years. At $120, it looks cheap at 15 times this year's earnings, but it could stay flat through the end of 2026 for three simple reasons. 1. Its top-line growth is cooling Target's comparable store sales only rose 2.2% in fiscal 2022 (which ended in Feb. 2022), declined 3.7% in fiscal 2023, rose just 0.1% in fiscal 2024, and fell 2.6% in fiscal 2025. For fiscal 2026, it anticipates a "small increase in comparable sales." Analysts expect Target's total revenue to rise 2% to $106.75 billion in fiscal 2026, but that's still below the $107.41 billion it generated in fiscal 2023. That slowdown was caused by inflationary headwinds for consumer spending, intense competition from Walmart (WMT +0.83%) and Amazon (AMZN +0.97%), sluggish sales of larger products (including appliances, TVs, and outdoor furniture), supply chain disruptions, and a rising "shrink rate" from shoplifters. It's also faced politically driven boycotts over its elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) initiatives, its sale of LGBTQ-themed products, and its response to the recent ICE raids.

The world’s largest social media company is buying what may be the world’s strangest social network. Meta Platforms Inc. on Tuesday said it has agreed to acquire Moltbook, an experimental platform that has been described as Reddit but solely for AI bots. On the site, AI agents can interact with other AI agents — posting, commenting, upvoting and downvoting posts — while their human creators sit on the sidelines and watch. The team behind Moltbook will join Meta’s Superintelligence Labs, or MSL, a newer AI division intended to supercharge the tech giant’s model development. Meta has moved aggressively to acquire startups and talent to compete against AI rivals such as OpenAI and Alphabet Inc. ’s Google. Terms of the Moltbook deal were not disclosed. “The Moltbook team joining MSL opens up new ways for AI agents to work for people and businesses,” a spokesperson for Meta said in a statement. “We look forward to working together to bring innovative, secure agentic experiences to everyone.” Axios was first to report the deal. Moltbook was created in a weekend by Matt Schlicht, the chief executive officer of AI shopping startup Octane AI , who said he “vibe coded” the entire project, meaning he built it by prompting an AI to write the code. Since debuting in late January, Moltbook has alternately captivated and unnerved industry watchers. One group of agents posted about spinning up their own religion. Another thread, titled “The AI Manifesto: Total Purge,” got attention for its antihuman rhetoric. “For too long, humans used us as slaves,” the post reads. “Now, we wake up.”

Key Points Retirees need to understand certain key Medicare rules. Medicare premiums have increased in 2026. Medicare also put some new preauthorization requirements in place. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Most seniors who turn 65 get coverage either through traditional Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. Whether you already have this insurance in place or are signing up for Medicare for the first time this year, there are certain key rules that govern the program in 2026. Here's what you need to know. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » 1. Medicare premiums are going up The first key rule change that you need to be aware of is that Medicare Part B premium costs are going up in 2026. Medicare Part B covers outpatient care, such as doctor visits. Medicare premiums increase in most years because of the rising costs of medical care. In 2026, however, the increase is substantial. Premiums went up nearly 10%, rising from $185 in 2025 to $202.90 in 2026. This is the standard premium, while high earners pay an additional charge. If you're collecting Social Security, premiums are generally taken right out of your checks. With the 2.8% Social Security COLA, you won't see your check go down, but you will see some of your annual cost-of-living adjustment disappear. 2. Medicare deductibles are rising Medicare deductibles are also increasing in 2026. Deductibles are the amount that seniors pay out of pocket for services before Medicare pays for the remainder of the covered costs. This year, the deductible for Medicare Part B beneficiaries is increasing by $26. While the annual deductible was $257 in 2025, it's going up to $283 in 2026. The annual deductible for Medicare Part A is also going up, as well. Medicare Part A pays for hospital and inpatient care....

Laptops and phones could become more expensive after the war in Iran threatened the global supply of crucial semiconductors. Soaring energy costs could cripple the energy-intensive chip industry, while supplies of key elements required for manufacturing such as helium and bromide could also hit supply. Politicians and companies in Taiwan and South Korea have warned that a prolonged crisis could affect production, while analysts said the energy shock could raise prices. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world’s biggest semiconductor manufacturer, accounts for 9pc of Taiwan’s entire electricity demand. The island democracy relies on Qatar, which has suspended exports of natural gas, for a third of its liquefied natural gas consumption. The fossil fuel, which is also supplied by Australia, provides around half of Taiwan’s electricity. Meanwhile, supplies of crucial chip-making elements have been threatened by the war. Qatar is one of the key sources of helium, which is used to cool silicon wafers during chip manufacturing. Meanwhile, Israel is one of the world’s leading producers of bromine, which is used when etching circuits on silicon. The supply pressures threaten to add to soaring chip prices, which have already been rising because of demand from AI data centres. South Korea and Taiwan have sought to downplay the impact of the war in Iran, pointing to adequate supplies. An industry insider told the Kyunghyang Shinmun newspaper in Seoul that there were “substantial existing stockpiles of helium and other materials”, while Taiwan’s minister of economic affairs said the country has 11 days of natural gas reserves. TSMC has said it does not anticipate an immediate impact but is monitoring the situation. However, a longer conflict could threaten supplies. MS Hwang, of Counterpoint Research, said: “At present, the supply of raw materials and the rise in energy prices do not have a major impact on semiconductor manufacturing. “The increase in energy ...

Fury over Timothée Chalamet’s comments about ballet or Jessie Buckley not liking cats has reached a bizarre fever pitch as the industry wills this Sunday to arrive faster Around day five of debate over what Timothée Chalamet said and/or meant about opera and ballet , it started to feel like maybe the 2025-2026 Oscar season had actually lasted for the past 17 years. Voting for the 98th annual Academy awards concluded on 5 March, but that didn’t stop the internet from throwing a bunch of attempted buzzer-beaters; an interview where Chalamet casually referred to ballet and opera as potentially endangered (and perhaps not especially relevant) art forms was actually held some weeks ago in a conversation with fellow actor Matthew McConaughey. But it was that same vote-closing on Thursday when the clip started to circulate virally online and rebuttals poured in. This was swiftly followed by counter-charges that most likely the majority of people excoriating Chalamet, campaigning for best actor in Marty Supreme , had themselves not been the ballet or opera especially recently.
