Bargain Hunters Find Value in Target Amid Market Highs
Despite record highs across major indexes, Target's stock presents a rare discount, trading 65% below its 2021 peak. The retailer's vast U.S. footprint—covering 75% of the population within 10 miles of a store—offers a structural advantage, though recent operational challenges have dampened sentiment.
Supply chain disruptions, economic headwinds, and internal leadership changes have pressured performance. February's announcement of an insider CEO appointment further unsettled investors. Yet the selloff may overstate risks, leaving the brand's long-term potential intact.
