Oppenheimer analyst Rupesh Parikh maintains $Target (TGT.US)$ with a buy rating, and adjusts the target price from $185 to $165.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 64.0% and a total average return of 11.7% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Target (TGT.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Following the company's disappointing Q3 earnings and subdued forward guidance, expectations have been adjusted for ongoing challenges in Q4. The projection for a steady Q4 in sales underscores a persistent sluggishness in discretionary spending and calendar influences. It is anticipated that the cost challenges experienced in Q3 will continue to affect performance in the upcoming quarter.
Target's Q3 results underperformed in terms of margins, primarily due to an accumulation of inventories based on early receipts, and an intensified discounting strategy. This situation was further exacerbated by a higher proportion of sales occurring during promotional periods, coupled with challenges posed by unseasonably warm weather affecting apparel sales. Analysts acknowledge that while these may be mostly cyclical headwinds, the responsibility to demonstrate resilience lies with the company.
Target needs to address negative trends in home, apparel, and hardlines, improve digital channel profitability, and ensure consistency outside of seasonal or promotional periods.

奧本海默控股分析師Rupesh Parikh維持$塔吉特 (TGT.US)$買入評級，並將目標價從185美元下調至165美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為64.0%，總平均回報率為11.7%。
此外，綜合報道，$塔吉特 (TGT.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
在公司令人失望的第三季度收益和低調的前瞻指引之後，對第四季度持續挑戰的期望已經調整。對於銷售穩定的第四季度的預期凸顯了自願支出和日曆影響中的持續疲軟。預計第三季度所經歷的成本挑戰將繼續影響即將到來的一個季度的表現。
由於早期收貨積壓了庫存，並採取了加劇的打折策略，Target的第三季度利潤表現不佳。這種情況進一步惡化，因爲銷售額高比例發生在促銷期間，加上不同尋常溫暖天氣導致服裝銷售受影響。分析師們承認，儘管這些問題大多是週期性阻力，但展現韌性的責任仍在公司。
Target需要解決家居，服裝和硬裝領域的負面趨勢，提高數字渠道的盈利能力，並確保在非季節性或促銷期間保持一致性。
