Here’s what Cramer said about Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) on November 20th:
“Now, Target’s got a new CEO waiting in the wings with current chief operating officer Michael Fiddelke taking the reins in February. He’s already talked about the need to improve the merchandise assortment, provide a more consistent shopping experience, use technology to breathe some life into the business. But based on what we saw from Target yesterday, let’s just say he’s got his work cut out for him.”
