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.

6% positive differential. Would prefer Wal-Mart.

A retailer that plays against Wal-Mart, but a little bit more upscale. Same-store sales are growing.

Trades at a full 4 multiple points premium to Wal-Mart (WMT-N). Have great stores, but still have to compete against Wal-Mart. To expensive.

The last comp. was about 9%. A step above Wal-Mart in terms of quality. Kept their costs low and opened new stores. Feels it has legs.

Has increased its market share at the expense of Wal-Mart (WMT-N). Trading around 21.5 X this year's earnings which is considerably more than Wal-Mart's at 18.5. Growth earnings are similar and growth prospects are similar. Wal-Mart has global expansion possibilities. Prefers Wal-Mart.

Consumer staples is a good area to be in. Great earnings.

Good to own over a long period, but watch retail numbers first.
