Target (TGT - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $252.19, moving -0.58% from the previous trading session. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.74% gain on the day.
Heading into today, shares of the retailer had gained 4.75% over the past month, outpacing the Retail-Wholesale sector's loss of 0.78% and the S&P 500's gain of 1.34% in that time.

The company is expected to report EPS of $2.78, down 0.36% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $24.56 billion, up 8.53% from the year-ago period.
TGT's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $12.94 per share and revenue of $104.45 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +37.37% and +11.64%, respectively.
Investors should also note any 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.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
