Dow Jones08-17 23:08
1108 ET - Davidson analysts increase their estimates for Target ahead of the retailer's 2Q earnings report on Wednesday. The analysts now expect Target to post comparable sales up 3% during the recent quarter, compared with a prior forecast of up 2%. They say in a research note that they raised their estimates due to the combination of a supportive spending environment and company-specific initiatives. "In particular, we point to the Friday retail sales report, which showed that sales through 'generally merchandise stores' grew 3.9% for the three months corresponding to TGT's 2Q26," the analysts write. "That is an acceleration from 2.5% in 1Q26 and the strongest since 1Q23." Davidson raises its price target to $170 from $155.
