Target (TGT - Free Report) closed at $230.24 in the latest trading session, marking a +0.66% move from the prior day. The stock outpaced the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.24%.
Heading into today, shares of the retailer had lost 5.92% over the past month, lagging the Retail-Wholesale sector's loss of 5% and the S&P 500's loss of 2.12% in that time.
TGT will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be November 17, 2021. In that report, analysts expect TGT to post earnings of $2.78 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 0.36%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $24.48 billion, up 8.16% from the prior-year quarter.
TGT's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $12.86 per share and revenue of $104.45 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +36.52% and +11.64%, respectively.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for TGT. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. TGT is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
