Fundamental quality
56
out of 100
Target Corp earns a fundamental-quality score of 56 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 1.35× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +2.5%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Target is the big American 'cheap chic' retailer: fashion, home and basics at affordable prices with a more curated image than Walmart. Its Achilles heel: it depends far more on discretionary spending than its rivals.
