Supply-chain issues brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic were a dominating theme throughout the past few years as companies struggled to maintain inventory levels.
As supply chains ease, retailers are stuck with a surplus of goods. Many economists refer to this situation, going from a shortage of supply to a surplus very quickly, as the “bullwhip effect.”
In order to unload the excess inventory, retailers must slash prices and run flash sales, much to the dismay of investors. When Target Corporation TGT announced it had “inventory problems” and would need to offer goods at a discount in a May earnings call, the stock dropped 25% overnight.
Target is not alone as Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN, Walmart Inc WMT and Kohl’s Corporation KSS are all also offering deals for customers.
