Target - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Target Co.:

The current stock price is around $96, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value.
Target Co. has a strong return on equity of approximately 25.59%, indicating effective management and profitability relative to shareholder equity.
The company recently announced a quarterly dividend of $1.12 per share, translating to an annualized dividend of $4.48, which offers a dividend yield of about 4.2%. This can provide a steady income stream for investors.
Despite a slight decline in revenue compared to the previous year, analysts predict earnings per share of 8.69 for the current fiscal year, suggesting potential for recovery and growth.
Target Co. has a relatively low dividend payout ratio of 49.23%, indicating that it retains a significant portion of its earnings for reinvestment, which could support future growth.

Target
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Target Co. for these reasons:

The company reported earnings per share of $1.30 for the latest quarter, missing analysts' expectations of $1.65, which may raise concerns about its short-term performance.
Target Co. experienced a revenue decline of about 2.8% compared to the same quarter last year, indicating potential challenges in maintaining sales growth.
Several analysts have downgraded their ratings on Target Co., with some setting lower price targets, which could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term prospects.
Insider selling activity, such as the recent sale of 45,000 shares by a company insider, may raise red flags for investors regarding the company's future outlook.
With a consensus rating of "Hold" from analysts, there may be limited upside potential in the stock, suggesting that investors might want to be cautious before committing funds.
