Target ($TGT) looks like an interesting candidate here

  • Target has demonstrated that its luring its core customers base through its doors and attract prospective consumers who might be looking for bigger bargains and smaller tickets.
  • As of now, target does not have the advantage of offering groceries, especially when consumers are cutting down on discretionary spending.
  • But recent trends has shown that traffic has improved compared to previous months with a +0.3%.  On top of that, Wal-Mart did report higher purchases on small items like bedding sheets etc.
  • Credit Suisse also noted stabilization in the retailer’s credit-card business, which showed improvements in the delinquency trends.
  • The firm boosted its 2009 earnings target to $2.90 from $2.37 and beyond the $2.52 consensus.
  • On a Fundamental basis, this firm could be in line to for for a target of $49.30 using a 17 times multiple.

As of today, technically do look attractive.  Long term down trendline since October has been broken and it is now holding better, above the $42.74 support level which has just been broken.  Will keep an eye on it, but very cautious of making any additional purchases over the weekend.
