What are Wall Street analysts saying about Target stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Target stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Target have risen and outpaced the industry in the past three months. Certainly, the company is trying to adapt fast with the changing retail ecosystem. The company is deploying resources to enhance omni-channel capacities, come up with new brands, remodel stores and expand same-day delivery options. All these bode well for the stock that showed decent performance in fourth-quarter fiscal 2018. Both the top and bottom lines continued to improve year over year. The quarter also witnessed healthy traffic growth and registered impressive comparable digital channel sales. Target also provided upbeat view with fiscal 2019 earnings likely to be up from the prior year. Management now anticipates comps growth of low-to-mid-single digit during the both first quarter and fiscal year. Looking ahead, analysts anticipate that incremental investments, higher wages and rise in costs due to new fulfillment options may hurt margins." (3/8/2019)
2. Guggenheim analysts commented, "We remain NEUTRAL. Sales increased 7.0% to $17.55bn (vs. our $16.96bn est), on a stronger-than-expected 6.5% comp increase (vs. our +3.0%). The comp was led by a 6.4% increase in traffic, the strongest performance since Target began reporting the metric in 2008, and follows 4% growth in 1Q. Gains have been led by improvements in ‘frequency’ categories, particularly essentials (food/beverage accelerated for a 6th straight quarter), in addition to e-comm. Digital sales rose 41%, aided by a successful one-day sale event in July, and contributed 1.5% of the comp increase. Impressively, stores were responsible for the large majority of comp growth (4.9%). In 1H18, comps rose 4.8%; with trends remaining strong through the back-to-school period, we raise our forecast for to 2H to nearly 4% comps (from +LSD%)." (8/22/2018)
