10:19 ET -- Target is one of the most mentioned companies in the U.S. across all news items in the past 12 hours, according to Factiva data. Target's comparable sales, those from stores and digital channels operating at least a year, fell 3.7% in three months ended May 4, the fourth straight quarter of declines. Sales of home goods, furniture, apparel and food fell compared with the same period last year. The retailer said it expects comparable sales for the current quarter to come in flat to up 2%, which would be the first upward movement in over a year. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva.
