Target - Corporate earnings season resemblant of the bear marketYesterday, Target announced its earnings for the third quarter of 2022. The report outlined softening sales and profit trends with downgraded guidance going forward. Total revenue and cost of sales increased year over year, while net earnings and EPS fell dramatically for that same period. Subsequently, shares of Target fell more than 13% in the pre-market trading. Target is yet another company that fulfills our prediction about a weak corporate earnings season and progression into the second phase of the bear market. We expect this trend to worsen in the next earning season and further enforce our thesis.
Total revenue = $26.518 billion (+3.4% YoY)
Cost of sales = $19.680 billion (+8.1% YoY)
GAAP Earnings per share = $1.54 (-49.3% YoY)
Operating income = $1.022 billion (-49.2% YoY)
Net earnings = $712 million (-52.1% YoY)

TGT
Target With A "Bullseye"?Target With A "Bullseye"?
I've identified a falling wedge pattern on Target's daily chart. Also, the RSI indicator shows higher highs and higher lows.
Short float % for TGT was at 2.02% at time of this post.
TGT is a good candidate for a swing. I have my "Bullseye" above 159 or at the break of the upper trendline.

2X $TGT TP1 HIT for $$9.50! (+5%)$TGT has earnings coming up and a huge +20% gap to fill, which would be a +$35 move for this week to come or even leading into next week! Price has broken resistance and is making a bullish move to the upside to fill that gap it seems! Patience is key! wait for confirmations & ride the trend!
TGT: Bullish outlook!Target
Short Term - We look to Buy at 171.59 (stop at 159.63)
This stock has recently been in the news headlines. Price action has broken from the previous formation. A weaker opening is expected to challenge bullish resolve. Neckline support is 170.00. Further upside is expected although we prefer to set longs at our bespoke support levels at 170.00, resulting in improved risk/reward.
Our profit targets will be 199.21 and 210.00
Resistance: 200.00 / 210.00 / 250.00
Support: 170.00 / 140.00 / 90.00

$TGT back to 200?? Going into this and next week for a swing trade, I really like Target, especially on an earnings play. We have a nice continuation/ bullish trend on our linear regression channel, money momentum has been shifting higher over the past few days, along with a key EMA crossover to the upside, and we have our green middle band (indicating bull market momentum). We also had a break of structure to the buy side, and I like the continuation of this previous high break. Fundamentally, Wells-Fargo upgraded $TGT to $195, and we have dividends and a potentially positive earnings report due on Wednesday.
Will this be the spark $TGT needs to fill the gap to $212?!

TGT Target Corporation Options Ahead Of EarningsIf you haven`t sold TGT at the previews earnings:
Then looking at the TGT Target Corporation options chain, i would buy the $182.5 strike price calls with
2022-8-19 expiration date for about
$2.93 premium.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
WMTAnother earnings play....
One thing I noticed today is that they pumped retail. I think it's doing rangebound trading here so a short term opportunity. Earnings will suck, wage inflation will eat into their profits.
Keep an eye on all of the big tankers from last quarter like TGT, etc. Plenty of room for them to do another huge gap down, just look at long term charts. They need to get rid of the parabola.
TGT Rectangle ConsolidationAfter Earnings Report and the massive sell-off, TGT spent the last few days in a sideways consolidation (rectangle) - One of my favorite setups.
Upside case: Above the top of the rectangle (155.81) I would go long targeting 161.50
Downside case: Below 150.95 I would go short targeting 146.
I am treating every trade as a scalp and I have not been holding any position for more than a day.
TGT: All levels of interestTGT (Target), consumer defensive play crashing on bad earnings and inflation concerns....
Weekly chart.
Now oversold. Can we go lower?
Here are the levels I'm watching to enter:
- 139.30: I'll be buying if we reach that level. If it holds it will be a long term investment for me. If it just bounces and drops, I'll be selling and looking for the next level.
- 90-82: is the second zone of interest I'm watching. If we reach this zone I'll buy stocks as a long term investment.
Trade safe.
TGT Target first Earnings Miss since Q3 of 2018TGT Target CEO Brian Cornell: "We never expected the kind of cost increases in freight and transportation that we're seeing right now".
Net Sales: $25.17 billion vs. $24.47 billion estimates
Gross Margin: 25.7% vs. 29% estimates
Diluted EPS: $2.19 vs. $3.07 estimates
TGT Target continues to expect low-to-mid single digit percentage sales growth this year.
My price target is $149 and ultimately the pre-pandemic level of $130.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
TGT Beautiful Holds... LOOK for these in 2022Beautiful holds (THREE TIMES) on TGT level... Post-earnings 50% Pullback.
These will be the opportunities to look for in 2022 ... when the market is slowly bullish you have to find opportunity in individual stocks around earnings!
Any by "around earnings" NOT the day before!!! 😠 It means getting in weeks prior for runups and weeks after for pullbacks 👍
Earnings season Q2 is fast approaching now... draw your levels and set your alerts!
