Target Corp (TGT.N) did not release any information pertaining to its dividend and share buyback plans, company spokeswoman Molly Snyder said.

A release posted briefly on Target's website earlier on Tuesday said the company planned to raise its share buyback program by $5 billion to $10 billion and boost its quarterly dividend by 7.7 percent to 56 cents per share.

Snyder did not comment on the veracity of the information.
