The company announced that its second quarter adjusted earnings per share was just 78 cents, down 20.6 percent from the second quarter in 2013. Target is currently anticipating annual earnings of $3.10 to $3.30 per share for the full year.

A press release from Target noted a dip of 1.3 percent in second quarter U.S. Segment transactions. Still, that figure was slightly higher than that of the first quarter.
