Target highlights in-stock gains as turnaround plan advances

Target announced that it has prepositioned inventory and established dedicated trailer capacity to prepare for the back‑to‑school shopping period. The move is part of the retailer’s turnaround plan, which aims to improve in‑stock availability and reduce out‑of‑stock incidents. Chief operating officer Lisa Roath said the company is increasing trailer capacity to ensure timely delivery of products to stores. The strategy includes allocating additional trailers for high‑demand items and optimizing distribution routes. Target expects the changes to support sales growth during the peak season. The company also plans to monitor inventory levels closely and adjust shipments accordingly to maintain service levels.
