| DON'T BUY | 46.710 | John O'Connell, CFA | Consumer discretionary and particularly department stores have all been really struggling. There has always been a question about their credit card debt and their exposure. You need to see a continuation of strong employment growth in the US. | 2011-06-15 | |
| BUY | 52.000 | Mike Lyons CA, CFA | Offers reasonable value. Trades for a reasonable price/sales and earnings. US retail sector is demonstrating they can make money even in this sort of environment. !.93% yield. | 2011-02-24 | |
| Comment | 40.060 | Christine Poole | Very good competition to Wal-Mart. Price points tend to be a bit higher but their food offering is not as broad. | 2009-07-21 | |
| BUY | 41.350 | Kevin O'Leary | (Market Call Minute.) Not really about the retail, it is about real estate. Speculation that the real estate is worth more than what it is on the books for. Probably a Buy. | 2008-11-04 | |
| Comment | 52.320 | Norman Levine | The upscale Wal-Mart (WMT-N) of the world. With US retail sales in the doldrums, consumers are shifting sales to Wal-Mart and are less likely to pick up little extras. In the near term, it is suffering. In the long-term, it is a great company to own. | 2008-05-28 | |
| DON'T BUY | 54.830 | Brian Acker, CA | (Market Call Minute.) His model price is $55.13. Not mispriced. | 2008-02-27 | |
| BUY | 53.010 | David Baskin | (Market Call Minute.) Looks like retail spending in the US is holding up in spite of nay Sayers. Probably not a bad thing to Buy. | 2007-12-18 | |
| DON'T BUY | 65.590 | Brian Acker, CA | 6% positive differential. Would prefer Wal-Mart. | 2007-09-20 | |
| Comment | 60.800 | John O'Connell, CFA | Have done a great job. Trades at a premium multiple to Wal-Mart (WMT-N). Target tries to sell to a more affluent consumer, and if the US economy continues to slow this could hurt.c | 2007-05-29 | |
| Comment | 57.180 | Steve MacMillan | Prefers Wal-Mart (WMT-N), which is substantially cheaper. Also expect margins will expand faster. | 2007-01-03 | |
| BUY | 58.340 | Brad Willock | A retailer that plays against Wal-Mart, but a little bit more upscale. Same-store sales are growing. | 2006-12-11 | |
| DON'T BUY | 57.070 | John O'Connell, CFA | Trades at a full 4 multiple points premium to Wal-Mart (WMT-N). Have great stores, but still have to compete against Wal-Mart. To expensive. | 2006-11-27 | |
| BUY | 59.980 | Danny Tomka | The last comp. was about 9%. A step above Wal-Mart in terms of quality. Kept their costs low and opened new stores. Feels it has legs. | 2005-07-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 55.560 | James Cole, BA, CFA | Has increased its market share at the expense of Wal-Mart (WMT-N). Trading around 21.5 X this year's earnings which is considerably more than Wal-Mart's at 18.5. Growth earnings are similar and growth prospects are similar. Wal-Mart has global expansion possibilities. Prefers Wal-Mart. | 2005-07-06 | |
| TOP PICK | 43.000 | Gene Henssler | Consumer staples is a good area to be in. Great earnings. | 2004-05-14 | |
