Target boosted its quarterly dividend by 20%, just days after the retailer cut its outlook as high inventories weigh on its profit.

Target on Thursday said its board raised the quarterly dividend to $1.08 from 90 cents previously. The annual payout of $4.32 represents a yield of about 2.76% based on Wednesday’s closing price of $156.70, up from 2.3%.
