Retail giant Target bumped its quarterly dividend by 1.8% to $ 1.14 per share, marking its 54th consecutive year of dividend growth.

The new dividend will be paid on Sept. 1 , offering a healthy 4.64% annual yield.

The retail giant continues to grapple with soft consumer demand, pricing pressures, and operational inefficiencies.

Target trimmed its full-year adjusted EPS forecast to between $7 and $9 , down from the previous $ 8.80 to $ 9.80 range.

Target also estimates a low single-digit sales decline, signaling a prolonged road ahead for recovery.

The Street-high target of $ 175 implies the stock could rally as much as 79% .
