Mark Cuban: Embracing Wokeness is Good for Business

Mark Cuban, the owner of Dallas Mavericks, believes that companies embracing "woke" ideology is just good business, despite the backlash faced by companies like Anheuser-Busch and Target Corporation. Cuban argues that most CEOs know to wait out the news cycle until it passes. He also suggests that companies are embracing woke politics because people want to do business with companies that care about their customers, which is an American trait that reflects who we are as a country.

Target's Q1 earnings beat expectations despite sales warning and retail theft concerns.

Target Corporation reported its Q1 2023 financial results, with sales growth of 0.5% and a 0.7% increase in comparable store sales offset by a decline in comparable digital sales. The company's inventory at the end of Q1 was 16% lower than last year, reflecting a reduction in discretionary categories, partially offset by inventory investments to support rapidly-growing frequency categories. Target is making significant investments in strategies to prevent inventory shrink, which is expected to reduce this year's profitability by more than $500 million compared with last year. The company is maintaining its full-year financial guidance, based on the expected benefit from efficiency and cost-savings efforts and its team's continued focus on agility, flexibility, and retail fundamentals.
