Target Corporation finds itself embroiled in a legal battle as the state of Florida filed a securities fraud lawsuit against the retail giant. The lawsuit, spearheaded by the State Board of Administration of Florida, alleges that Target misled investors about the risks associated with its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. These initiatives, aimed at promoting social and environmental responsibilities, allegedly triggered significant customer backlash, resulting in a substantial decline in Target's market value.
