Target Corp's (TGT) net profit almost halved in the holiday quarter as the third-largest U.S. retailer dealt with the fallout of a massive data breach and warned that costs related to the event could hurt future profits. Target said it has not been able to estimate future expenses related to the data breach. Wednesday marks the first time Target faces Wall Street since the breach, which led to the theft of about 40 million credit and debit card records and 70 million other records with information such as addresses and phone numbers of shoppers compromised. "These costs may have a material adverse effect on Target's results" in the current quarter, the year and future periods, it warned investors on Wednesay.
