- Jennifer Bartashus, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Analyst, Retail Staples & Packaged Food, recaps Target earnings. Target Corp.'s comparable sales jumped 5.6% last quarter, the biggest increase since the end of 2021 and triple the gain analysts were expecting. The company raised its annual revenue guidance by 2 percentage points to about 4%, but executives warned of tougher comparisons and more cost challenges ahead.

-Mary Ross Gilbert, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Equity Analyst, Covering Retail, discusses TJX Earnings. TJX Cos. raised its sales growth expectations for the year as cautious shoppers spend on lower priced goods at the company's discount chains. The company's comparable sales from its stores and e-commerce sites are now seen expanding as much as 4%, up from previous guidance for an increase of as much as 3%.

-Drew Reading, Bloomberg Intelligence U.S Homebuilding Analyst, recaps Lowe's earnings. Lowe’s Cos. reported sales growth in the first quarter that just missed estimates, with comparable sales rising 0.6% during the period. The company kept its full-year outlook unchanged, citing productivity boosts from artificial intelligence, and expects to offset higher transportation costs through productivity initiatives.

-Matthew Schettenhelm, Bloomberg Intelligence Media Litigation Analyst, discusses a jury rejecting Elon Musk's claims that OpenAI betrayed its mission to benefit the public by morphing into a for-profit business, finding that he waited too long to sue the company. The verdict is a major relief for OpenAI as it eyes a potential initial public offering, and Musk and his lawyers have vowed an  appeal.
