On CAPS, 91% of the 2,518 members who have rated Target believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include cdoooc and All-Star JPresbrown, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community.

Late last month, cdoooc tapped Target as a solid income opportunity:

Financials rival WMT with an increasing dividend. Stores are more customer friendly / cleaner than WMT. Generics business will drive their pharmacy revenues. A no brainer.

Currently, Target even trades at a cheapish price-to-cash flow of 6.5. That represents a discount to rivals Amazon (27.9), Costco (10.9), and Wal-Mart (7.2).

CAPS All-Star JPresbrown elaborates on the Target bull case:

This is an excellent long-term performer with a multi-decade record of dividend increases selling at the bottom of its 52-week range, for just 12x earnings and a PEG (PE to growth) ratio of just 1.0. This stock has been underperforming the market badly recently but once this year's economic growth scare fades away and we start to build toward the seasonally strong fourth quarter you'll be glad you tucked this ... stock away in your portfolio.
