TGT LONGA little more risky of a play, earnings coming up,. Target is set to report its third-quarter results on Wednesday morning, with the market eagerly anticipating insights into U.S. consumer spending ahead of the holiday shopping season. Analysts remain optimistic about Target’s stock, with 10 out of 16 tracked by Visible Alpha holding "buy" ratings and nearly all setting price targets above the current stock price. Sales and profits are expected to show modest year-over-year growth, as Target has focused on lowering prices to attract back customers who were cautious earlier this year due to inflation concerns. Already have first wedge breakout, 170 target still, second wedge I think will break out after tomorrow.. 168 target, tomorrow economic data / dealer weakness end should have market back in gear.

$TGT - Potential inverse head and shoulderNYSE:TGT looks to be forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern with a full measured move to the $227 to $230 area. The inverse head and shoulders pattern has been taking shape for two years, so don't expect the price to reach the target overnight. The earnings report (ER) is on Wednesday morning. It will either make or break this setup. Watch the $180 area for a breakout. The target and support levels are shown on the chart. As always, I share my opinions and trades. I'm not suggesting that anyone follow my trades. You do you.

Target’s Q2 Triumph: Earnings Beat, Surging Stock, & OutlookKey Takeaways: - Target (TGT) shares surged over 13% after a strong Q2 earnings report. - The company’s revenue and net income outperformed expectations, driven by increased store traffic and digital sales. - Target raised its full-year EPS guidance, reflecting confidence in sustained growth. A Strong Quarter Amidst Challenges Target Corporation ( NYSE:TGT ) has delivered an impressive performance in its second quarter of fiscal 2024, surprising analysts and investors alike with stronger-than-expected earnings and a positive outlook for the remainder of the year. The retailer’s stock soared over 13% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, signaling renewed investor confidence in the company’s growth strategy. Target ( NYSE:TGT ) reported second-quarter revenue of $25.42 billion, a 2.6% year-over-year increase, surpassing Wall Street’s expectations. Even more noteworthy was the 40% jump in net income, which reached $1.19 billion, a significant improvement from the previous year’s quarter. This robust financial performance is a testament to Target’s successful cost-cutting measures and strategic investments in key growth areas. Driving Growth: In-Store Traffic and Digital Sales One of the most encouraging signs from Target’s Q2 report was the return to growth in comparable store sales. After experiencing a year-over-year decline in the first quarter, comparable store sales rebounded with a 2% increase. This growth was fueled by a 3% rise in in-store traffic and an impressive 8.7% surge in digital sales. Target’s ability to drive both physical and online traffic highlights the effectiveness of its omnichannel strategy. The company’s same-day services, including curbside pickup and same-day shipping, were particularly successful, contributing to double-digit growth in these areas. Additionally, discretionary sales trends showed meaningful improvement, with categories like apparel and beauty leading the charge. Raising the Bar: Upgraded Profit Outlook Buoyed by its strong second-quarter performance, Target ( NYSE:TGT ) has lifted its full-year earnings per share (EPS) guidance. The company now expects full-year EPS to range between $9.00 and $9.70, up from the previous forecast of $8.60 to $9.60. This upward revision reflects Target’s confidence in its ability to navigate ongoing economic challenges while continuing to deliver value to its customers. For the third quarter, Target ( NYSE:TGT ) projects flat to 2% growth in comparable sales, with EPS expected to range between $2.10 and $2.40. Despite a cautious outlook on sales growth, the company’s profitability remains strong, underscoring its resilience in a competitive retail landscape. Value-Driven Strategy in a Competitive Market During an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Target CEO Brian Cornell addressed concerns about inflation and price gouging in the retail industry. Cornell emphasized that Target operates in a “penny business,” with thin profit margins that leave little room for price inflation. He highlighted Target’s commitment to providing value to customers, a strategy that has resonated well in an environment where consumers are increasingly budget-conscious. In response to shoppers’ concerns about rising prices, Target has implemented strategic price cuts on thousands of everyday items, including essentials like diapers and peanut butter. This approach has successfully driven higher traffic to Target’s stores and website, with the company reporting a 3% increase in customer traffic during the quarter. Cornell’s comments reflect Target’s broader strategy of appealing to consumers who are carefully managing their budgets. By focusing on value and competitive pricing, Target has positioned itself as a retailer of choice for price-sensitive shoppers, even as inflationary pressures persist. Financial Strength and Strategic Investments Target’s strong financial performance in the second quarter is also reflected in its operating results. The company’s operating income margin rate increased to 6.4%, up from 4.8% in the same period last year. This improvement was driven by higher gross margins, which benefited from cost improvements that more than offset higher promotional markdown rates. In addition to its earnings performance, Target ( NYSE:TGT ) continued to deploy capital strategically. The company repurchased $155 million of its shares in the second quarter and paid $509 million in dividends, reflecting its commitment to returning value to shareholders. Target’s after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) also improved, reaching 16.6% for the trailing twelve months, compared to 13.7% in the previous year. Conclusion: A Retailer on the Rise Target’s second-quarter results underscore its resilience and adaptability in a challenging retail environment. The company’s strong earnings, improved profit margins, and upgraded full-year guidance signal that Target is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory. As it navigates the complexities of inflation and changing consumer behavior, Target’s focus on value, digital expansion, and strategic investments will be key drivers of its success in the coming quarters. Investors and market analysts will undoubtedly be watching closely as Target continues to execute on its growth strategy.

Target (TGT): Ready to Break Out of Its DowntrendWith Target, we have another major player in the US retail market, and we prefer its price structure over Walmart's. After completing Wave (3), Target experienced a significant sell-off, forming Wave (4). Currently, it appears that an inverse head and shoulders pattern is developing, which could signal a bullish reversal. The neckline looks particularly strong, and I will have a bullish outlook once this neckline is reclaimed. There is a breakout gap following the completion of Wave (4), which might be revisited. However, for a well-formed head and shoulders pattern, we should see some momentum soon to create two shoulders at the same level. As long as the Wave (4) level at the Point of Control (POC) holds, we expect more upside, either after a slight dip into the breakout gap or immediately following the earnings report next week.

Target Target Practice Not necessarily looking for the bull's eye on this one, I was waiting for the first dot to be hit (was not convinced it was going to happen) before I made this public. Overall, the 2 first potential descending waves could be of interest if the purple holds as resistance (if we get back there), and also if a break and retest of the grey curve occurs. What I am most interested in, regardless of the time span of this idea, are the 2 potential more impulse like waves highlighted with the arrows. Best to watch for candlestick patterns signaling potential reversals, or weakness in sentiment/mood potentially backed up by rumors or news for these 2 specific scenarios. All elements in the project are potential support/resistance.

Target Corporation - Trend AssessmentI do concentrate only on trend assessment so traders could make a sequence of profitable trades to exploit full trend capacity. Arguments: 1. The price is consolidating above and near MA200 and longer ones. 2. Adjusted Supertrend (made by KivancOzbilgic) and adjusted to MA200 (SMA#5) with ATR Multiplier 1, 2 and 3. 3. Regarding Ichimoku Cloud: we have crossed Kumo red cloud and started consolidating above. We also should anticipate green cloud acting as support. Also note that Chikou Span is above price 200 days ago. Quite bullish. 3. ROC and Chaikin Money Flow: above zero line and confirming continuation. 4. BB Trend and BBT got into green zone. 5. Positive outlook on inflation and therefore FED's decision. 6. OBV: no indications of bearish divergence. 7. MACD and Squeeze Momentum Indicator: no indications of divergences. It is just a trend assessment, so you do your own job constructing your trades around the trend if it is substantiated.
