Is Target Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Target Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Target Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Target Corporation's P/E ratio
Target Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Target Corporation shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). 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 PEG ratio
Target Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7703. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
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 share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Target Corporation's EBITDA
Target Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $9.2 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Target Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Target Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 47.08% of net profits
Recently Target Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Target Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Target Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
While Target Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Target Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Target Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 9 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Target Corporation's shares ever split?
Target Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 19 July 2000 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Target Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Target Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Target Corporation's share price.
Target Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Target Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $120.21 up to $177.9285. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Target Corporation's is 1.242. This would suggest that Target Corporation's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
