Target Corp (TGT)

How consumers will spend their latest stimulus cheques, just passed A lot of past stimulus cheques went to Target and Walmart where people did a lot of shopping, and it will happen this time around. He also expects big-ticket sales like cars.

Target is hitting an all-time high today. The company is firing on all cylinders. They have alleviated e-commerce concerns. Looking at evaluation, it is rallying up to catch up the evaluation of Walmart. A duopoly that will probably do fine. Would prefer Walmart more. There is also trade war concerns eventually. Right now, it is offloaded in the supply chain, but it could come down to the consumer.

This stumbled badly in Canada which set the stock back. Also, there has been a consumer pullback in the last year. The stock came back with Christmas sales, and things seem to be back to normal. Doesn't think there is anything special about this company, but it is a solid hold and you will do fine. Earnings are growing slowly.

When looking at this, you have to ask yourself if you are there for share price appreciation or for yield. If looking at this for yield, he would look elsewhere. 3.6% dividend is a good yield, but there are others that have a better balance sheet and growth trajectory.

(A Top Pick Jan 3/17. Down 3%.) He had been trying to take advantage of the lower type price realtors. It was cheap, but it got cheaper quickly. He got out of this pretty quickly.
