Target (TGT) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Target's financial performance reflects a strong digital sales position, with same-day services experiencing over a 25% growth in the latest quarter, driven by the success of Target Circle 360. The company also noted a 1.5% increase in comparable sales, supported by a 2.1% rise in traffic, and an 8.7% boost in digital channel sales, which underscores the brand’s ability to attract customers in a competitive retail environment. Additionally, Target anticipates modest EBIT margin expansion in 2025, indicating potential for improved profitability moving forward.
Bears say
Target's recent financial performance has raised concerns, as evidenced by a decline in card penetration by 10 basis points sequentially and an anticipated y/y decline in sales for Q1. The company's retail gross margin standing at 26.2% indicates a year-over-year decrease of 40 basis points, largely due to rising digital fulfillment and supply chain costs, along with increased promotional markdowns. Additionally, expectations for a difficult year ahead are underscored by a recent small decline in February sales and an overall sluggish trend in discretionary spending, which could further pressure Target's earnings in the coming quarters.
