This summary was created by AI, based on 11 opinions in the last 12 months.

Target Corp (TGT) has recently faced significant challenges but is showing signs of a turnaround under new management. While the company struggles to compete with larger retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Costco, there are improvements noted in store traffic and same-store sales growth. Despite mixed performance in earnings, with slightly light revenues, increased gross margins and a planned $2 billion investment in innovation and product categories boost market confidence. However, analysts express caution, citing overall valuation as low, along with the need for management to address issues swiftly to ensure future growth. The general sentiment suggests a cautious outlook requiring patience from investors.

COMMENT

Up 23% year to date so far. Trading at valuation of 1.2 peg ratio and 15X PE and 12% long-term growth rate. This is cheaper than Wal-Mart (WMT-N) but Wal-Mart has outperformed because it is a little more defensive. Prefers Wal-Mart.

BUY
This is a good opportunity here. They are coming to Canada in no small way, which will have a meaningful impact. These should earn over $5 a share in 2013.
WAIT
Forming a topping pattern, a bullish pattern where you get an ascending triangle. It is retain and we saw weaker numbers so he would not be touching it until fall.
COMMENT
This stock has been in a bit of a trading range. If you’re trading a range, this is a great stock to buy at $47. If you wanted it for a long-term period, you want to see it break the range. Support level is at around $47 with resistance at around $60. If it breaks $60, this is where you want to get in.
COMMENT
Opening over 200 stores in Canada in 2013. Not all the upfront costs can be capitalized so it has been a drag on earnings. A 10% return is a reasonable assumption.
TOP PICK
$60.44, 4% upside but the market is seeking out domestic plays as opposed to international. Increased dividend by 20% last night at AGM. Not much downside.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Too expensive here. Has done too well.
COMMENT
A step higher for shoppers compared to Wal-Mart (WMT-N) or Dollar Stores (FDO-N). Beta is probably flat against the S&P. He prefers Wal-Mart. This stock will do okay but Wal-Mart is probably the better place to be.
DON'T BUY
Consumer discretionary and particularly department stores have all been really struggling. There has always been a question about their credit card debt and their exposure. You need to see a continuation of strong employment growth in the US.
BUY
Offers reasonable value. Trades for a reasonable price/sales and earnings. US retail sector is demonstrating they can make money even in this sort of environment. !.93% yield.
COMMENT
Very good competition to Wal-Mart. Price points tend to be a bit higher but their food offering is not as broad.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Not really about the retail, it is about real estate. Speculation that the real estate is worth more than what it is on the books for. Probably a Buy.
COMMENT
The upscale Wal-Mart (WMT-N) of the world. With US retail sales in the doldrums, consumers are shifting sales to Wal-Mart and are less likely to pick up little extras. In the near term, it is suffering. In the long-term, it is a great company to own.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) His model price is $55.13. Not mispriced.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Looks like retail spending in the US is holding up in spite of nay Sayers. Probably not a bad thing to Buy.
