The Rundown: AG Yost leads lawsuit against Target for defrauding investors over DEI

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is seeking to lead a class-action lawsuit against Target, accusing it of misleading investors about the risks of its aggressive push for DEI and ESG activism. The lawsuit says Target downplayed market concerns about promoting social goals and lied to investors, claiming that the company was more focused on maximizing shareholder value. Most notably, a 2023 Pride campaign led to widespread boycotts, causing Target’s first sales decline in six years and wiping out $25 billion in market value, leading to a 23-year low stock losing streak.
