What the Options Market Tells Us About Target

Target Announced The Release Of Its 2024 Bullseye's Top Toys List, Which Includes More Than 60 Toys, Nearly Half Of Which Are Exclusive To Target

The labor contract between the International Longshoremen's Association and U.S. Maritime Alliance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41111978/dockworkers-strike-will-it-impact-your-holiday-shopping">expired overnight on Tuesday</a>. The ILA — whose members comprise dockworkers on the East Coast —&nbsp;is now officially on strike.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/supply-chain">Supply chain disruptions</a> stemming from a prolonged strike may affect several companies and the U.S. economy as a whole.
What Happened: The dispute stems from two fundamental disagreements between the stevedores and port employers.
In their collective bargaining agreement, the ILA proposed a 77% pay raise over the next six years. The USMX <a href="https://www.usmx.com/assets/content/public-resources/9-30-24_USMX_UPDATE_Status_of_USMX-ILA_Negotiations.pdf">countered</a> with 50%.
&#8220;Our offer would increase wages by nearly 50 percent, triple employer contributions to employee retirement plans, strengthen our health care options, and retain the current language around automation and semi-automation,&#8221; the association said in a statement.
ILA President Harold Daggett <a href="https://ilaunion.org/letter-of-opposition-to-usmxs-misleading-statement/">urged</a> the USMX to agree to a larger wage increase to address inflation.
&#8220;USMX claims to offer industry-leading wages. However, their interpretation of &#8216;leading wages&#8217; is polar opposite to ours. Inflation has completely eaten into any raises and wages,&#8221; Daggett said.
Another fundamental disagreement comes from efforts to automate several port functions.
&#8220;USMX is trying to fool you with promises of workforce protections for semi-automation,&#8221; Daggett said. &#8220;Let me be clear: we don't want any form of semi-automation or full automation. We want our jobs—the jobs we have historically done for over 132 years.&#8221;
President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/09/30/remarks-by-president-biden-before-air-force-one-departure-dover-de/">told</a> reporters on Monday that he would not intervene in the matter, reiterating support for collective bargaining.
The closure will <a href="https://ilaunion.org/map/">affect</a> several U.S. ports, including Baltimore, Boston, New York and Philadelphia.
Economic Impact: RSM economist Joseph Brusuelas said the strike implies a modest impact on the U.S. economy.
&#8220;Labor action by port workers along the East and Gulf coast of the United States will provide a modest hit to GDP of a little greater than 0.1 percentage points per week or roughly $4.3 billion in lost exports and imports. If sustained that would result in roughly 0.5% percentage points shaved from overall GDP in the final quarter of 2024,&#8221; Brusuelas said.
&#8220;Given that the American economy is on a 3% growth path at this time, we do not expect the strike to derail the trajectory of the domestic economy or present a risk to an early and unnecessary end to the current economic expansion.&#8221;
The economist said the continued operation of ports in the western U.S. would likely lessen much of the strike&#8217;s economic impact.
When will the Strike End?: In a note published Monday, Morgan Stanley logistics analyst Ravi Shanker expressed a belief that the strike will end sooner rather than later.
&#8220;&#8230;in the event of a work stoppage, we believe it is highly unlikely to be prolonged,&#8221; Shanker said.
Affected Companies: ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIM#NYSE">ZIM</a>), A P Moller Maersk (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMKBY#OTC">AMKBY</a>), XPO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPO#NYSE">XPO</a>) are publicly traded logistics companies likely to be affected by a sustained supply chain disruption.
Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>), two of the largest U.S. retailers, could face increased supply chain costs and inventory shortages if the dockworker strike persists.
Additionally, an agreement between the ILA and USMX on automation protection would likely affect companies manufacturing the equipment.
ABB Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBNY#OTC">ABBNY</a>) and Cargotec Corp (HEL: CGCBV) are among the largest distributors of dock automation technology.

East Coast Dockworkers Strike: How Labor Dispute Impacts Economy, Logistics Companies

Tropical Storm Helene is forecasted to turn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40259269/storm-debby-headed-for-nyc-highly-populated-areas-as-catastrophic-flooding-persists">into a hurricane</a> as it makes landfall over Florida on Thursday.
The storm was located about 60 miles northeast of Cozumel, Mexico, Wednesday morning, moving northwest at 9 mph with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The storm is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it passes over the Gulf of Mexico&#8217;s eastern coast later Wednesday and into Thursday and reaches the Big Bend of Florida late Thursday.
The NWS has already issued a tropical storm warning for all of the Florida Keys, the state&#8217;s west coast from Flamingo to Anclote River, including Tampa Bay, and the Florida east coast from Flamingo northward to Altamaha Sound, Georgia.

Helene is forecasted to produce 5 to 10 inches of rain, with isolated totals of 15 inches over the southeastern U.S. This will likely result in considerable urban and flash flooding and significant river flooding. It may also cause landslides in steep terrain areas in the southern Appalachians.
Helene is also expected to bring 4 to 8 inches of rain to Cuba, the Cayman Islands and the northern Yucatan Peninsula before reaching the U.S.
Price Action: The approaching storm has impacted stocks of generator producers, retailers, and utility companies with a presence or a subsidiary in Florida.

Target Unusual Options Activity For September 18

A possible strike by thousands of dockworkers at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40713418/retailers-plea-for-deal-us-ports-union-start-two-day-talk-in-effort-to-prevent-disruptive-strike">East and Gulf coast ports</a> in October could result in major disruptions in the supply chain of goods coming in and out of the U.S., according to an export on container trade.
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), representing more than 85,000 dockworkers, may go on strike on Oct. 1 as the union&#8217;s contract expires on Sept. 30 and negotiations between the ILA and U.S. Maritime Alliance of terminal operators show signs of breaking down, said Christian Roeloffs, CEO of online container leasing platform Container xChange.
&#8220;A strike now appears increasingly likely, threatening to disrupt nearly half of the nation&#8217;s ocean trade,&#8221; he said on Tuesday.
&#8220;The uncertainty is compounded by the fact that the duration of these strikes is unclear — it could be resolved within weeks or drag on for months, as seen with the West Coast strike last year.
&#8220;September is traditionally one of the busiest months for U.S. containerized imports, driven by the peak shipping season as businesses prepare for the holiday rush.&#8221;

But it isn&#8217;t just a strike that threatens to disrupt the shipment of goods for the retail, automotive and other sectors, he said.
&#8220;This year presents an unprecedented combination of challenges that could heavily impact supply chains. Potential labor strikes, natural disasters, and tariff uncertainties are converging, creating a highly volatile environment for global trade,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;This also led to the pulling forward of orders by retailers, which led to strong inventories in the U.S.&#8221;
A strike could also cause havoc for container leasing and trading companies by causing major delays, port congestion and rerouted cargo, Roeloffs said.
"Companies should anticipate short-term spikes in demand for leased containers as retailers rush to secure goods ahead of potential disruptions, particularly for seasonal inventory and industrial shipments," he said.
&#8220;While the threat of strikes looms large, it's important to note that U.S. inventories are currently strong due to the pulling forward of orders earlier this year to avoid existing disruptions. 
The retail, automotive and semiconductor industries, all of which could be impacted by a port strike, saw gains and losses into Tuesday&#8217;s mid-day trading.

US Port Strike In October Could Lead To Major Supply-Chain Disruptions, Says Container Trade Expert

In the face of a predicted slowdown in retail sales growth this holiday season, Target Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) has announced its intention to recruit approximately 100,000 seasonal employees.
What Happened: Target&#8217;s hiring strategy is consistent with its approach over the last three years. This decision is made as the retail sector prepares for the slowest holiday sales growth in 6 years, according to Deloitte data, Reuters reported on Monday.
The seasonal staff will be assigned to Target&#8217;s stores and supply chain facilities, with the majority being stationed in stores. This follows Bath &amp; Body Works (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>) announcement last week to hire 30,000 seasonal employees, mirroring its 2023 figures.

With inflation worries looming, consumers are likely to be more cautious during the crucial shopping season. Target aims to attract value-conscious shoppers by offering more affordable holiday items, including over half of holiday toys priced under $20 and thousands of stocking stuffers under $5. Earlier this year, Target reduced prices on over 5,000 popular items, leading to a raised full-year profit forecast after reporting positive quarterly comparable sales. The company also announced the commencement of its deals week program, Target Circle, from Oct. 6.
Why It Matters: Target has been on an upward trajectory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40514323/targets-q2-beat-fuels-analyst-optimism-with-strong-outlook-strategic-initiatives">since last November,</a> rallying nearly 77% from its October low. The company&#8217;s strong second-quarter financial results and raised outlook have fueled analyst optimism. Target has increased its full-year 2024 adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $9.00 to $9.70, up from the previous range of $8.60 to $9.60.
CNBC's "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer declared that Target is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40576938/jim-cramer-declares-target-is-back-as-strong-earnings-report-from-retail-giant-assu">back on track </a>after a period of struggle, following an earnings report that surpassed market expectations. This positive outlook could play a crucial role in Target&#8217;s performance during the holiday season.

Target Set To Recruit 100K Seasonal Employees Despite Anticipated Slow Holiday Sales

Fund manager Matthew Tuttle made waves in the ETF space for his unique funds that offer ways for investors to get leveraged exposure or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36500461/exclusive-the-man-who-shorts-cathie-wood-and-jim-cramer-filed-for-new-bitcoin-etfs-why-lev">bet against well-known financial figures</a> like Jim Cramer and Cathie Wood.
Tuttle is back with a new fund that gives investors a way to invest in companies that are not meeting ESG (environmental, social, and governance) requirements.
What Happened: Tuttle Capital Management launched the ETF Opportunities Trust Tuttle Capital Shareholders First Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGX#BATS">ESGX</a>), a new ETF that gives investors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/23/09/34288808/want-to-bet-against-woke-companies-theres-an-etf-for-that"> a way to invest </a>in companies that "focus on profits, not politics or trendy activisms of the moment."
"ESGX allows investors to choose a portfolio of companies that follow the comment sense notion that companies that focus on profits are better for investors than companies that don't," a press release for the fund reads.
The ETF follows the AJN Shareholders First Index, which tracks a portfolio of U.S. companies that meet the requirement of focusing on profits and ignoring politics and "trendy activisms of the moment."
"Too many companies today put ESG and DEI politics first and their shareholders' profits last," Tuttle Capital CEO Matthew Tuttle said. "ESG has become a way for liberal executives and large investors to enact social changes that they can't pass at the ballot box."
Tuttle said CEOs can be pressured to "cave to the trendy politics of the moment," and often times this is not in the best interest of shareholders.
"That's why we launched ESGX – to put shareholders and profits first."
Tuttle added that investors had limited options of ways to invest in companies that put profits ahead of politics before the ETF launched.
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="http://ShareholdersFirstETF.com">holdings </a>in the ESGX ETF:
<ul>
<li>MarketAxess Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKTX#NASDAQ">MKTX</a>): 2.3% of assets</li>
<li>Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>): 2.2% of assets</li>
<li>J.B. Hunt Transport Services (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
<li>MDU Resources Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDU#NYSE">MDU</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
<li>RLI Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RLI#NYSE">RLI</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
</ul>
The ETF launch comes after companies like Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>), Planet Fitness (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNT#NYSE">PLNT</a>), Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) and others have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/33083401/mark-cuban-vs-chamath-palihapitiya-billionaires-battle-over-go-woke-go-broke-mantra">accused by consumers</a> and investors of focusing too heavily on ESG and DEI policies and "going woke" instead of worrying about financial growth and returns for shareholders.

Self Defense ETF Also Launches: Tuttle Capital also launched the Spinnaker ETF Series Tuttle Capital Self Defense Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GUNZ#BATS">GUNZ</a>) Tuesday.
The fund invests in companies that are engaged in self-defense, with a belief that the United States is becoming less safe.
The ETF invests in companies that manufacture, service, supply and distribute personal and law enforcement defense equipment and protection services. The fund tracks the AJN Self Defense U.S. Equity Index.
"Americans feel less safe and feel there is more crime in the country now than last year. Many Americans are taking self defense into their own hands," Tuttle said.
Tuttle added that shares of gun manufacturers have also risen after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
"Gun sales have rebounded after nearly three years of continuous decline and firearms manufacturers world wide have seen their stock surge after the terrorist attack on Israel and the Trump assassination attempt."
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="https://www.gunzetf.com/">holdings </a>in the GUNZ ETF:
<ul>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): 8.9% of assets</li>
<li>Johnson Controls (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JCI#NYSE">JCI</a>): 6.9% of assets</li>

Therefore, investors might consider investing in strong retail stocks such as Target Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TGT/">TGT</a>), Tapestry Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TPR/">TPR</a>), and J.Jill, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/JILL/">JILL</a>). Despite recent declines over the past six months, these retail giants are primed for a strong comeback.
As we enter Q4, with holidays approaching, consumers flock to big-box outlets for food, gifts, and online purchases. Businesses respond by offering variety, convenience, and personalized experiences to meet changing demands, driving industry growth. The National Retail Federation forecasts retail sales will rise between <a href="https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/nrf-forecasts-retail-sales-reach-least-523-trillion-2024">2.5% and 3.5% in 2024</a>, reaching $5.23 to $5.28 trillion.
Meanwhile, luxury brands are expanding physical stores, reinvesting in flagship locations, and exploring hospitality ventures. High-end malls attract luxury brands with low vacancy rates, offering stable retail environments. Hence, with rising disposable income and consumer demand for unique experiences, the global luxury goods market is projected to grow at a <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/luxury-goods-market-report">CAGR of 6.8%</a> from 2024 to 2030.

식품 및 가정용품에 대한 소비자 지출을 둘러싼 싸움이 계속 가열되고 있으며 대형 소매업체들은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retail-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">여러 카테고리</a>에 걸쳐 달러 매장들에서 더 많은 시장 점유율을 차지할 수 있는 것으로 보인다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 할인 소매업체인 달러 제너럴(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>)은 최근 매출과 주당 순이익(EPS)이 모두 분석가들의 추정치를 하회하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40623595/dollar-general-q2-earnings-earnings-miss-slashed-outlook-and-shrinking-margins" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2분기 재무 실적</a>을 발표했다.
이 회사는 또한 연간 매출 및 주당순이익 전망을 하향 조정했으며, 이는 회사가 월마트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>)와 타깃(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>)과 같은 더 큰 경쟁자들에게 시장 점유율을 빼앗기고 있을 수 있음을 나타낸다.
달러 제너럴은 2분기 컨퍼런스 콜에서 경쟁에 대해 질문을 받았다.
달러 제너럴의 CEO인 토드 바소스(Todd Vasos)는 &#8220;우리는 근본적으로 이 모델이 구조적으로 문제가 있다고 전혀 믿지 않는다. 하지만 이번 분기에 나타난 것처럼 비즈니스에 문제가 있다&#8221;고 말했다.
바소스는 회사가 새로운 매장 오픈을 통해 시장 점유율을 얻고 있다고 말했다. 이 CEO는 경쟁에 대한 우려를 일축하고, 예상보다 저조한 분기 실적의 원인을 연간 35,000달러 이하의 소득을 올리는 회사의 핵심 고객층의 재정적 제약으로 돌렸다.
&#8220;또한 우리가 본 것은 점유율을 잃지는 않지만 실제로 소비재 영역의 모든 거래 클래스에 대해 점유율을 얻고 있다는 것이다.&#8221;
바소스는 달러 제너럴의 핵심 고객층을 빼앗는 경쟁사를 보지 못했다고 말했다.
&#8220;우리는 경쟁사들 및 다른 클래스의 거래에 비해 일상적인 저가 포지션에 대해 계속해서 매우 좋은 느낌을 받고 있다.&#8221;
달러 제너럴의 주식은 86.43달러에 거래되고 있으며, 52주 거래 범위는 83.76달러~151.22달러이다. 아래 <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent083024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benzinga Pro chart</a>에서 볼 수 있듯이 달러 제너럴 주식은 연초 대비 38.5% 하락했다.
<img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/30123522/Screenshot-155.png?optimize=medium&amp;dpr=1.25&amp;auto=webp&amp;width=2048" />
월마트와 타깃의 승리: 월마트와 타깃은 최근 재무 실적을 발표하고 소비자 지출의 강세를 보여주었다.
월마트의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40391777/walmart-q2-earnings-e-commerce-and-advertising-businesses-fuel-revenue-and-profit-beat-hikes-annual" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">실적과 주당 순이익(EPS)</a>은 분석가들의 추정치를 모두 상회했다. 이 회사는 또한 연간 재무 가이던스도 상향 조정했다. 월마트는 미국 내 동일 매장 매출이 4.2% 증가했다고 보고했다.
여러 분석가들을 월마트가 여러 소득 수준에서 시장 점유율을 획득했다는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40420968/walmart-stock-one-of-the-most-compelling-retail-investments-7-analysts-highlight-ma" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">결과를 강조</a>했는데, 이는 핵심 달러 스토어(매장)의 핵심 고객층으로부터 시장 점유율을 빼앗았음을 의미할 수 있다.
타깃 또한 최근 보고된 분기에서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40482203/target-q2-earnings-revenue-and-profit-beat-digital-sales-boost-annual-profit-outlook-hiked" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">매출 및 주당 순이익 예상치</a>를 모두 상회했다.
월마트와 타깃 모두 제품 구색을 확장했으며 평균 이상의 인플레이션으로 계속해서 영향을 받는 소비자층에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 두 소매업체 모두 가격대가 더 저렴한 자사 상표 브랜드에 관심을 기울이고 있으며 다양한 제품 카테고리에 걸쳐 더 저렴한 옵션을 확대하는 데 주력하고 있다.
달러 제너럴은 경쟁을 걱정하지 않지만 월마트와 타깃의 실적 결과는 그렇지 않을 수도 있다.
월마트의 주식은 76.59달러에 거래되고 있으며, 52주 거래 범위는 49.85~76.75달러이다. 월마트의 주가는 2024년 현재까지 44% 상승했다.
타깃의 주식은 52주 거래 범위 102.93~181.86달러 대비 152.77달러에 거래되고 있다. 타깃의 주가는 2024년 현재까지 7% 올랐다.
달러 트리의 다음 발표: 패밀리 달러(Family Dollar)와 함께 달러 트리(Dollar Tree) 브랜드를 소유하고 있는 할인 소매업체인 달러 트리(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>)는 대형 소매업체들에 달러 매장들의 시장 점유율 손실을 계속 설명할 수 있다.
달러 트리는 9월 4일 수요일에 2분기 재무 결과를 보고합니다. <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent083024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>의 데이터에 따르면, 분석가들은 이 회사가 주당 1.04달러의 이익과 74억 9천만 달러의 매출을 보고할 것으로 예상한다.
이 회사는 지난해 2분기에 91센트의 이익과 73억 3천만 달러의 매출을 기록했다고 보고했다. 분석가들은 올해 두 수치가 모두 증가할 것으로 보고 있다. 이번 실적 보고서는 달러 트리가 다른 소매업체들과의 경쟁이 심화되고 있는지 여부를 보여줄 수 있다.
투자자들과 분석가들은 경쟁에 관한 질문이 나올 수 있는 컨퍼런스 콜에 특별한 주의를 기울일 수 있다. 시장 점유율, 경쟁 및 핵심 고객에 대한 이 회사의 논평은 월마트와 타깃이 이 소매업체의 주요 관심사인지 여부를 보여줄 수 있다.
달러 트리는 지난 5분기 중 3분기 동안 분석가들의 이익 추정치를 놓쳤고 지난 5분기 중 3분기에서는 매출 추정치를 넘어섰다.
달러 트리의 주식은 84.29달러에 거래되고 있으며 52주 거래 범위는 83.76~151.22달러이다. 달러 트리의 주식은 2024년 현재까지 41% 하락했다.

타깃 코퍼레이션(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>)의 주가는 회사가 예상보다 나은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40482203/target-q2-earnings-revenue-and-profit-beat-digital-sales-boost-annual-profit-outlook-hiked" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2분기 재무 실적을 보고하고 전망을 높인</a> 후 수요일 정규 거래에서 11% 급등했다.
타깃은 2024년 연간 조정 주당순이익(EPS) 전망을 이전 범위인 8.60~9.60달러에서 9.00~9.70달러로 상향 조정했다. 이 새로운 전망은 9.36달러의 추정치와 비교된다.
이 소매 거대 기업에 대한 애널리스트들의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">의견은 다음과</a> 같다:
<ul>
<li>JP 모건의 애널리스트 크리스토퍼 호버스(Christopher Horvers)는 중립 등급을 유지했다.</li>
<li>골드만삭스의 애널리스트 케이트 맥쉐인(Kate McShane)은 매수 등급을 재확인하고 목표 주가를 191달러로 설정했다.</li>
</ul>
JP 모건: 호버스는 비교 매장 매출이 최고 수준에 이르렀으며 제품 비용이 낮아 예상되는 판촉 압력을 완화하여 예상보다 강력한 결과를 가져왔다고 지적했다. 향후 가이던스는 지나치게 보수적이라기보다는 합리적으로 보인다.

EPS 범위의 상한선을 사용하고 16배 배수를 적용하면 목표 주가는 155달러, 중간값은 150달러가 된다. 소매업체의 지침에 따르면 4분기 EPS는 2.30달러-2.70달러이고 스트리트는 2.84달러이다.
골드만삭스: 맥쉐인은 분기별 총마진이 28.9%로 골드만삭스의 추정치인 28.2%보다 높았다고 썼다. +185 베이시스 포인트(bp)의 전년 대비 증가는 머천다이징 노력의 순 효과에 기인한다.
높은 가격 인하를 보상하는 것 이상의 비용 개선이 이루어졌으며, 유리한 카테고리 혼합과 장부와 실제 재고 간의 조정 감소가 긍정적으로 기여했다. 이는 전년도에 비해 증가한 디지털 이행 및 공급망 비용으로 부분적으로 상쇄되었다.
이 분석가는 하방 위험에는 여러 가지 요소가 포함되어 있다고 강조했다. 소비자 지출이 약화되면 트래픽 및 판매 추세가 둔화될 가능성이 있다.
또한 옴니채널 역량에 대한 투자, 공급망 개선, 제품 믹스 변화로 인해 마진이 압박을 받을 수 있다고 맥쉐인이 덧붙였다.
가격 움직임: 수요일 타깃의 주식은 11.25% 상승하여 159.25달러에 마감했다.

분석가인 조셉 펠드먼(Joseph Feldman)은 타깃의 2분기 매출이 수요일 시장 개장 전 매출을 발표할 때 전년 동기 대비 2% 증가한 253억 달러에 이를 것으로 예상한다. 그의 예측은 팩트셋(FactSet)의 매출 컨센서스인 252억 달러를 초과한다.
펠드먼은 일반적인 쇼핑객들의 특성을 논평하면서 타깃에 대해&#8221;대체로 우리는 소비자들이 계속해서 가치를 추구하고 필수품에 집중하는 동시에 임의 품목에 선택적으로 지출하고 혁신과 새로움에 반응하면서 탄력성을 보이고 있다고 믿고 있다&#8221;고 말했다.
타깃(Target)은 새로운 매장에서 프라이빗 브랜드를 제공하는 동시에 가격을 인하함으로써 가치 제공에 계속 집중하고 있다고 그가 말했다.
그는 타깃의 주식에 대해 아웃퍼폼(Outperform) 등급과 190달러 목표 가격을 유지했다.

그녀는 메모에서 &#8220;우리는 로스가 지난 5분기 동안 일련의 강력한 결과를 통해 계속해서 격려를 받고 있다. 로스는 일부 핵심 소비자들에 대한 엄청난 압박에도 불구하고 거시적 과제를 상대적으로 잘 헤쳐나가고 있다&#8221;라고 말했다.
&#8220;우리는 제품 믹스를 개선하고 비즈니스 전반의 효율성을 높이려는 경영진의 노력에 고무되었다.&#8221;
그녀는 마켓 퍼폼(Market Perform) 등급과 160달러의 목표 주가를 유지한다.
