Target Corporation stock (ISIN US87612E1064) was last at USD 158.43 on the NYSE on September 28, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 0.62 percent from USD 157.45. The key earnings catalyst is the fiscal Q2 report released on August 19, 2026, which showed a much stronger earnings performance than analysts had expected.
Q2 EPS beat consensus by USD 1.76
According to MarketBeat on September 3, 2026, Target reported fiscal Q2 EPS of USD 4.11 against a USD 2.35 consensus estimate. The USD 1.76 beat was accompanied by revenue of USD 26.54 billion, up 5.3 percent year over year.
The result also compared with prior-year quarterly EPS of USD 2.05, according to MarketBeat. The combination of a higher revenue base and EPS that more than doubled puts the focus on whether the improvement can continue after the second-quarter benefit.
Guidance reaches USD 10.90 EPS
Target set fiscal 2026 EPS guidance at USD 9.90-10.90, a range that gives investors a concrete benchmark for the next two quarters, according to MarketBeat. The upper end is USD 1.99 above fiscal Q2 EPS, although quarterly EPS and full-year guidance are different reporting measures.
Zacks Research raised its fiscal 2027 EPS forecast to USD 8.92 from USD 8.38 while keeping a Hold rating, MarketBeat reported on September 3, 2026. That USD 0.54 revision is a quantified sign of improving estimates, but the unchanged rating shows that valuation and execution remain part of the debate.
A 7.22 percent gap to the high
Target's September 28, 2026 trading range was USD 156.32 to USD 160.78, with volume of 3,384,702 shares. The 52-week range was USD 83.44 to USD 170.75, placing the reference price 7.22 percent below the yearly high.
Market capitalization stood at USD 72.0 billion on September 28, 2026. The next scheduled earnings date is November 18, 2026, as listed by Zacks.
