MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Target
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Target Co.:

Target Co. recently reported earnings per share (EPS) of $2.05, slightly exceeding analysts' expectations, indicating strong financial performance.
The current stock price is around $88.55, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in the retail sector.

Target Co. has provided guidance for FY 2025 with an EPS forecast of 7.000-9.000, reflecting optimism about future earnings growth.

Target
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Target Co. for these reasons:

Target Co.'s revenue has declined by 0.9% year-over-year, which may indicate challenges in maintaining sales growth.
Several analysts have recently downgraded their price targets for Target Co., with some reducing their expectations significantly, which could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.99, suggesting that it has a relatively high level of debt compared to its equity, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment.
Target Co. has a quick ratio of 0.32, indicating potential liquidity issues, as it may struggle to cover short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets.
With a consensus rating of "Hold" from analysts, there may be uncertainty about the stock's ability to outperform the market in the near term.
