Williams-Sonoma stock dropped on Wednesday even though the home specialty retailer delivered a beat-and-raise quarter in tough times for housing. The stock is up 25% this year, but down 11% from its all-time closing high of $251.78 on Aug. 7, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

The big news was Walmart’s sales woes as the Bentonville, Ark.-based giant reported a same-store sales decline—the first since 2020. Target meanwhile, showed some signs of life, reflecting its turnaround efforts.
