Target on Thursday lifted its projection for comparable store sales growth in the fourth quarter on the back of a stronger-than-expected holiday shopping season.

Diageo Plc scrapped a long-held sales target as the British distiller grapples with sluggish growth and a possible tariff battle in the US, its biggest market.

Target underperformed other retailers in fiscal 2024. Its higher mix of discretionary products benefited the company in 2024, as was exhibited by its recent sales results for November and December.
