TGT
Target Corporation
stock NYSE

Those multiples are too high for me to consider it a value play. You have a notably higher P/E and P/B than Amazon (AMZN) for example, despite much lower margins, and much lower sales and earnings growth rates.
Target (TGT), a more similar company, with more similar margins, has a P/E of ~17, a P/S ~.7, and a P/B ~4.2. Walmart would need to fall at least another 35% to have a comparable valuation.

I don't know many consumer discretionary stocks that can attempt hitting a parabolic leap to the heavens at this current time. XRP, pfft. Buy TGT and become the next bond villain

I've been investing pretty successfully over the past 6 years (I'm currently 39). My strategy is to target stocks trading below their historical valuation metrics, typically dividend payers, hold until they revert to better valuations, sell or reduce position size, and repeat. I recently analyzed my performance (which spanned three different brokerages) with the help of Claude, and had annualized XIRR of +22% vs. +17% for the S&P. Over this time, I've definitely had a few misses, but way more hits.
For example, today I sold a sizeable position in MRK @ $153, which I purchased \~1.5 years ago for \~$80. A month or so ago, I sold TGT in the $130s after purchasing in the $80s a year prior.
Earlier this year, I purchased T, NOW, MSFT, CRM, and BBY, which are all up 20%+ since.
More recently, I purchased MCD, LOW, and FIS.
I'd like to continue this strategy, but as my portofolio size and number of positions grows (and also the market does), I am finding it harder and harder to find new stocks. I typically focus on US stocks and use ETFs for international.
Anyone else focus on this strategy? Any recommendations?

Tuckwear finally paying off for TGT. they weren't wrong, they were just early.

I suppose I probably should asked before pulling the trigger - but interested in some thoughts on Walmart/WMT as more of, let's say, a "plugger" -- those sort of unexciting backbones that one figures over the long haul, provides a place to park money when nothing else looks like enticing.
On fairly stable large caps, I always seem to fall into this pattern -- I'm not at all a "charts guy", but falling below rolling averages is like catnip to me. So long as revenue and margin is growing (even below recent par), unless something else on my watchlist has my eye? I tend to see such equities as a "If in doubt..." buys.
I do understand why they got punished for the 10-Q - very stunted growth compared to the trailing data. I likewise think we do have some.... consumer chop - potentially even recession - on the horizon, which will obviously hurt someone like Walmart. Even with the recent price travails - the P/E and fwd P/E is hardly what you'd call enticing.
OTOH? The debt load is pretty reasonable - with rising rates, they're certainly not a DG or even a TGT. I also look at the big drag -- their pharma/health component - and think to CVS. Apples and oranges, I know -- CVS went full vertical and it just took longer than expected to reap the benefits -- but it's a tricky space and I tend to lean on the idea that nobody besides AMZN is better situated to leverage their way to figuring out the space.
Moreover? And - absolutely, you can get burned thinking this way - I don't really even shop Walmart, while I am Prime subscriber and do personally use it *relatively* often. However, I keep hearing a lot of friends/family (and additional anecdotal readings) that "Walmart+" *seems* to be overtaking Prime a bit. My indirect - and yes, anecdotal - experience seems to say that they're quite nicely eating into some demographics that other players owned.
I'm **not** a "buy the dip" guy. I **am** a Buffett/Munger "wouldn't want to own a stock for 5 minutes, I wouldn't see owning for 5 years" guy.
It just felt like a solid choice "if nothing else" for now. Wouldn't shock me if it's flat or even lower a year from now, but I'm thinking 3-5 years from now? At least... what I recorded in my own tracking sheet (I always capture my near/mid/longterm expectations and regularly revisit)? I think it will beat the S&P over that 3-5 years.
Willing to listen to people that would say I'm an idiot - but feels like a solid plugger...

Hello everyone in r/dividends! Today I’ve got Target $TGT stuck in my head. I’m thinking about selling part of my position or holding it for the long-term as it was my first time +20 years. What would you do in this situation?

BJ, TGT, WMT, all did great on earnings but got a baby bump or dumped🤔 guess we aren't spending money anymore

Squeeze scanner
**Not financial advice. Do your own research. It surfaces candidates; it is NOT a buy signal.**
Ranks your watchlist by short-squeeze potential. Each name needs two things:
**LOADED — the FUEL.** How much pent-up buying is trapped in the name: how much of the tradeable float is sold short, how many days of normal volume it would take those shorts to buy back (days-to-cover), and how expensive the shares are to borrow. Fuel is potential energy — every share sold short is a share that must eventually be bought back. It says nothing about timing: a name can sit fully fuelled for months and never move.
**IGNITION — the SPARK.** Whether anything is actually lighting the fuel right now (dealers short gamma forced to buy, aggressive call buying, price up on volume).
The score discounts loaded "fuel" by how little it's igniting, so a 🔥 Igniting name is loaded AND moving, while a 🔒 Loaded one is a coiled setup that hasn't fired yet. Short interest is FINRA data — reported twice a month with a \~2-3 week lag (shown as the as-of date), so treat it as the standing setup, not a live tick.
•
Float data is from FMP, refreshed weekly. What each tile shows:
◦
Score — the big number, overall squeeze potential (0-100).
◦
Loaded / Ignition — the two halves shown as bars, each 0-100.
◦
SI — short interest as a percent of the tradeable free float when we have it (the real squeeze figure, since insider/restricted shares are excluded), otherwise a percent of shares outstanding; the arrow is ↑ rising or ↓ falling versus the prior FINRA report.
◦
DTC — days-to-cover: at average volume, how many days of buying it would take shorts to cover (higher = harder to exit).
◦
Fee — annualized cost to borrow the shares (turns red at 5%+ = hard to borrow).
◦
Move — recent price thrust: the percent change over the last few sessions and the volume multiple, so "+29% · 2.2x" means up 29% on 2.2× its normal volume.
◦
Calls — the share of options flow that is aggressive call buying (squeeze chasing).
◦
Gamma — dealer positioning: "short" means dealers must buy into strength (fuel), "long" dampens it.
◦
↑ tightening / ⚠ diluting — borrow getting harder / float growing (which can blunt a squeeze).

wmt is a dividend king but pays a paltry 1% yield or so.
USA consumers till buy cheap stuff(I don't mean cheap prices, I mean stuff), and wmt sells that.
Since this is WMT, this could be a harbinger of the overall consumer economy though.
Home Depot earnings in line, but says homeowners are doing small projects
Target earnings is target getting some WMT customers? TGT did well for target
Lowe's Earnings in line
Four retailers out this week, and not stellar numbers. The consumer is tired.
America has a supply chain issue with fuel prices. Don't worry, #47 is working on it(wink wink)

I was in Target $TGT last week mid day and it was very crowded with people having a great deal in their shopping baskets I noticed. Myself, I came out with +150$ of goods for myself.

$TGT earnings were fine, weren't they

I think that in the same way TGT took some market share from WMT and they both countered each other this week, Ross is doing the same with TJX. So going to buy some calls before close and see how it pans out.
But honestly it's a coin flip, completely depends on guidance and last earnings were padded with tax refund shoppers

Doesn't matter they crashed from ATH. What matters is currently trading at less than half the valuation of WMT in a similar sector. Unless there's a red flag why their evaluation is so low, it would mean TGT is a better buy at the moment than WMT.
Maybe also check the average forward PE for retail sector. I expect WMT to trade at a premium based on their track record and being leaders in their sector. But say the average forward PE for retail sector is around 20, would you be willing to pay such a large premium for them?
Did some more digging and looked at Kroger, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Home Depot etc. and found out all of them are trading at forward PE ranging from 16 to 22 with Kroger at 10! This shows WMT and COST are trading at a significant premium at the moment, which is more than double the industry standard. So I doubt WMT is being punished based on the numbers I'm seeing.

everybody thought calls would be a slam dunk after TGT beat but gg's

I own TGT. They both fucking suck though

Does $WMT bounce like $TGT?

I sold TGT and bought WMT abiut 6 months ago.....AMA

Only been a few months since we last chatted, but WMT and TGT are going in opposite directions and not in your favor. Any thoughts about whether WMT can turn it around at a 30+ PE while TGT still boasts only 20 PE?

It’s early, but still feeling good about that WMT>TGT decision? Last 30 days WMT down 7% and TGT up 10%.

My bad guys. I bought WMT calls thinking they'd piggyback on TGT's bump.
