Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Over the last 12 months, Target Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $101.8748 up to $176.0058. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Target Corporation P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Target Corporation's current stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Target Corporation stocks trade at around 17x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 10, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Target Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0008. A PEG ratio close to 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares offer reasonable value for the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Target Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Target Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $8 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Target Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
