Investors looking for stocks in the Retail - Discount Stores sector might want to consider either Target (TGT) or TJX (TJX). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?
Whether you're a value, growth, or momentum investor, finding strong stocks becomes easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a top feature of the Zacks Premium research service.
Target Corporation is upgraded to "Hold" as operational turnaround gains traction and financials improve. TGT's revenue rose 6% year-over-year to $51.98 billion, with comparable sales up 4.7% and digital sales up 8.8%. Profitability is stabilizing, aided by cost-cutting, store expansion, AI-driven initiatives, and significant debt reduction.
Target's next quarterly dividend won't be paid out until December, but the stock goes ex-dividend the morning of Nov. 10. With more than 50 years of hikes, it's a fair bet that the distributions will get higher year after year.
Target is rated a buy, offering a more attractive valuation than WMT and COST despite recent share price gains. Target demonstrates strong profitability, with operating margin reaching 9.6% in Q2, even after excluding one-off tariff refunds. Forward P/E for TGT is ~14.7x, significantly below WMT and COST, while expected growth is nearly identical to WMT, suggesting potential for multiple expansion.
