TGT

asdf_lord

Just puts. TGT near me is empty compared to last year. Thems going out of business.

Y’all holding options on TGT through earnings?

Pereise1

TGT heading towards that 52wk low *before* earnings

unwanted_hair

Soooo... TGT puts?

cathode_01

My guess is TGT puts because the shift in consumer behavior caused by inflation and tariffs has likely resulted in people permanently switching to lower priced retailers (or simply less shopping). I don't see 100% of those shoppers magically returning to TGT if they've already found stores and products to buy that are cheaper and acceptable quality.

DankMemesNQuickNuts

TGT calls. Stock is beat to shit. Sentiment is awful. Tariff relief should help margins for their grocery business. Christmas coming up. I think they raise Q4 guidance slightly

YoshiMcDaddy

I don’t think TGT puts is the play

HaveTwoBananas

TGT straddles

GenovaWitness1

I got Target and Walmart puts which seems dumb on the surface but makes more sense as time goes on since I think the cracks will start to show this week with TGT,WMT, HD and we might see some blood in the water. TGT foot traffic is down month over month and at this point even if they are going to WMT now it doesn't mean they are spending more. If anything spending is going down in households as job loss, tarrifs and delinquency issues arise. I could be totally wrong here but only time will tell.

YoshiMcDaddy

Why TGT puts? This shit has dropped so much and now is a 40 billion stock with 5% dividend yield. I doubt it can drop even further

illegaltaco420

HD puts? TGT puts?

Rich-Badger-7601

TGT hits 95 ahead of earnings and 110 after, change my mind

Rich-Badger-7601

A better question is what's your thesis on TGT cratering even further than it already has? TGT has unintentionally fallen so far so fast that now it's a high dividend value stock trading at a 10 P/E in an environment where even Costco trades at a 50+ P/E. TGT is also so starved for good news these past few months that even something like "we successfully made our rent payments this quarter" could send the stock flying up 10%

Effective-Bell5574

TGT sounds too obvious, bet it will trade flat even though in reality it should plunge to the depths of hell

Loading up on WMT calls and TGT puts

naked_space_chimp

I agree, it's been beaten up like hell & earnings are extra volatile due to profit taking/new investments & it looks prime for a pop. That's always the gamble when playing earnings, the trade has to be in your favor to close out at the next trading session, any sideways movement & theta crushes it. TGT opened massive stores this year & that should eat up some profits, I assume. Hence bearish, it will gap up but might still take a quarter or so, IMO.

SuccessfulCan2980

Cash out. Sold everything except TGT last week. TGT earnings call is 11/19 

Pereise1

Just need Vix to open at 17 so I can sell my puts and buy TGT puts.

brizzario

NVDA's earnings are going to be the talk of the town this week, but so are HD, WMT and TGT's. All the chips in the world are going to mean fuck all if everyone is maxed out with credit and poor.

naked_space_chimp

TGT is down to COVID lows but not enough, the losses should bleed some more before gapping up, IMO. Walmart has been beaten up enough and should be on the rise given it's ever rising supply chains demands, Walmart+ improvements & other expansions. I might have been aggressive on the expiration dates but for calls these should definitely work for longer dates.

GenovaWitness1

TGT puts. I'm a retard though so if anyone else has any insights to go against this I'm all ears.

Hopefully my $90 TGT put prints. Place has become a ghost town this year.

King_Siege

What’s your reasoning behind short TGT but long WMT? Walmart taking more market share?

RockyCreamNHotSauce

Middle class consumption is significantly weakening. Import port numbers look very weak, and TGT imports half of its sales. I’ve read convincing opinions that consumption was pulled forth to Q1-2 and households are well-stocked for holiday season. Q3 may be ok, but if they give honest Q4 projections, it can be a severe contraction YoY. Also, long term trends are pushing economic activity to top 1-10% and AI projects. There’s no room for as many middle class retail as before. The weakest will fold like KMart. There’s almost no chance for Target because the competitors are so much stronger like Walmart, Costco, Amazon, Aldi, etc. Even with solid operations, I think macro-economics will pack up Target in a few years.

clem82

TGT just needs to go back to what made it successful. Stop charge sky high prices, and stop making dumb shit to account for the minority buyer. Stick to your core business

eastbay77

Sounds like your planning to hold longer. I've been holding a very small position of TGT for many years because it was at a low and it paid dividends. Under the current retail/market conditions and those who are still boycotting the business, I don't think it'll pass $100 with the next 6 months. Either way I might continue holding because I'm still in the green.

lies_are_comforting

I used to be in KSS but sold recently. KSS is up 200 % since the dip in April while TGT is flat in the same time.

lipmanz

I’m long but it’s super hated rn WMT and TJX numbers not much better than TGTs but both trade at PEs in the 30s..market treats TGT like KSS…walk around the two and you’ll see they aren’t the same…believe it will go up, just don’t know how long it will take…my other comeback plays UPS and NKE seem to pop on earnings and then give it back settling back to hated status so I could see that happening..gl

lies_are_comforting

Yeah, it’s been like five years years since TGT was 20 % higher than today. Oh, wait… 50 days.

strongbull01

You're absolutely nuts. This is not the market to go buy retail. Your upside isn't close to 20%. That would be insane my dude. TGT has serious issues with affordability and that's the conversation nowadays. If you want something go buy Walmart- there long term upside is way more attractive that tgt short

Coleslawholywar

Can’t wait for TGT to again try to ignore the fact that they pissed off their customers to why their sales are down again.

Reasonable-Load3326

Your core thesis is well-supported by the chart, TGT is priced near its 52-week and your upside target aligns with the consensus price target. The stock is historically cheap and the downside risk appears mechanically smaller than the upside potential. The risk/reward profile supports your trade, but the downside is likely closer to 10%, not 5%.

HoldMyNaan

It’s unironically calls on TGT, come back to this comment after earnings to kiss my feet

King_Siege

Would I be crazy for full porting TGT LEAPs? Seems oversold

Limp_Incident_8902

Idk man, TGT does as much revenue as the hyperscalers. Obviously its different, but how lomg can TGT do 100b a year rev and trade at these levels?

Limp_Incident_8902

TGT is fine, I jumped in and out a few times with it and did ok. One big winner for me this year was KSS, but I was kicking myself bag holding for a while, until it squeezed. The short interest for TGT is low so that's a sign of confidence in it.

Sweeeeetnesss

lol… I think those things are priced in because of initial fear. TGT is at its 5 year low which is nuts. I expect a nice recovery.

>Last month was the worst October for layoff announcements since 2003 as companies slashed roles to save money, pared back pandemic-era hires, and planned ahead for artificial intelligence, according to the global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. >Employers announced 153,074 cuts last month, compared to 55,597 cuts in October 2024. Last month’s figure was “the highest total for October in over 20 years, and the highest total for a single month in the fourth quarter since 2008,” Andy Challenger, chief revenue officer for Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a report Thursday. >Altogether, US firms announced the end of 1,099,500 positions through the first 10 months of this year, up 44% from the 761,358 cuts seen for the entirety of 2024. Technology businesses led private-sector layoffs. >“October’s pace of job cutting was much higher than average for the month,” Challenger said in a statement. >“Some industries are correcting after the hiring boom of the pandemic, but this comes as AI adoption, softening consumer and corporate spending, and rising costs drive belt-tightening and hiring freezes,” he continued. “Those laid off now are finding it harder to quickly secure new roles, which could further loosen the labor market.” >Recent notable layoff announcements have come from Amazon (AMZN), Target (TGT), and UPS (UPS). Year-to-date cuts are at their highest since 2020, Challenger said, when the pandemic wreaked havoc on the labor market. >The Challenger report comes amid a data drought from the Labor Department due to the government shutdown — now the longest in US history. The last official jobs report reflects labor conditions from August, while data from September has yet to be published. October’s jobs report, due out tomorrow, is unlikely to be published.

Why are people boycotting target these days? Maybe I should have loaded up on TGT puts

Walmart has done that too I think Walmart has way way more foot traffic because... groceries. You need to have groceries and a loyalty / rewards program with a killer app. Walmart isn't amazing but definitely better than TGT for that.

JerryJoseph

I'm initiating the wheel on TGT! Sell puts, sell calls! Straddle/strangle until the premium pops out.

So invest in good companies that are down. A lot of food companies are down, Nike, UPS, TGT

Three_of_a_kind3515

Well.. if it worked twice in a 21 year time span.. Did the algos learn trading from prior examples? They are “data dependent “?!? I actually do not know if they are… but a lot changed from 87 to 2008.. and the same indicators worked then. History repeats itself, if we do not learn from it and stop it. …or third time is the charm in this case…. with AI taking peoples jobs.. and I am just speculating.. less people making money.. less stuff bought.. look at the outlook from CMG, TGT, AMZN, MSFT, GOOGL, and many others, their last earnings reports. Whether you feel it is going to right or not, you should still keep it as information to make future choices… there is a reason Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on a huge pile of cash. 🤷‍♂️

One-Yard9754

Well, to be fairrrrrr...a lot of sectors have been beat-up and the AI wave is really the crutch holding this entire market up - if you look at the individual components of the S&P the perf. is heavily skewed. Not sure I want to be buying any tech company here, I'd rather pickup more UNH or TGT/UPS (if they get back down to my entries). The margins are compressing because of the unregulated hemp and black markets, eventually they'll just be a few dominant players in this space (like coke and pepsi), the key is picking those winners.

Yogurt_Up_My_Nose

I honestly think that if TGT had held it's ground with Tuckwear we'd be in the 200's right now. weak leadership ruined them.

OhtaniStanMan

TGT was great sub 90. It has more book value than stock value. Dividend is great. If it went down further would be bought out. Great Ling term play imo

Yogurt_Up_My_Nose

I gotta admit, thinking TGT was a decent buy months ago was pretty fucking stupid of me. every year I get at least one really retarded play.

Chipotle is reasonably priced and healthiest of all fast food choices. Starbucks and TGT gonna be fucked

yes2matt

Super basic: think of it as an insurance policy. If you buy an insurance policy, it is because you think that something is going ro happen that will cost more than you would have if you invested the premium elsewhere.  The entity who sells you the policy is betting that they will make more investing the premiums than they will lose on the claims. But just in case, the insurance seller also buys insurance against severe loss/expense.   So when you buy an option, especially OTM, you are believing that that something will happen to make that option(policy) more valuable than the premium you paid.  The entity selling you the option believes the premium received (and reinvested) is of higher value than the policy.  But just in case of significant upset, the option seller can purchase an option/policy against devastating liability or loss.  That's a spread. The option seller insures against a small, but more likely, event for more premium and pays less premium to purchase insurance against a larger, but less likely, event.  The difference is profit. An example.  TGT flirted with 99 on Tuesday.  When it was back down around 98, I sold a 98C for $122. but! What if I am very wrong and it is headed toward $102? I don't want to be liable to sell TGT short at 98 if it is running up past 100. So I purchased at the same time a 99C for $82.  If TGT should run up, then, I will be liable to sell it at 98 but can buy it at 99. So my risk of liability is limited to $100 even if spot goes to the moon.  But! You see the $40 difference between the policy I sold and the policy I bought.  That goes into my account at the time of sale, and I can leverage or reinvest it for these four days.   And also, you might look and see that TGT is, two days later, down to 94.  I may buy back the short and sell back the long, for $12. In which case I will have risked $60 for a 25% return in two days, in addition to whatever I have done with the $40 premium during that time. Go get em tiger.

You gotta look a bit harder I think. TGT under 90 was nice. .I still think its nice at 97 with that 5% divi which is safe at only 50 percent payout ratio. Kenvue starting to look good as well. Canadian banks still have some room to run. (Though I think I wouldnt jump on this trade unless I was ok with 5-8% yearly growth) TOL and some builders. HE is a steal if you can wait Heico is expensive but shows no sign of slowing down.

Puts on RIG, DIS, TGT, WMT, and just about every quantum computing stock. I don’t believe the dust has settled for The Disney fallout. I believe Disney along with TGT will continue to struggle for the rest of year. Disney Dismute with YouTube/google could be another bump in the road for Disney. Tron sucked and Leto is a weak leading man. We cancelled our HULU/DIS. As for TGT and Walmart I don’t believe people are going to spend money on Christmas gifts and such when they are struggling to pay bills. But then again Americans luv to spend money and use credit.

Scannerguy3000

Reasonable question. Only very recently … like this week, I’m trying something new. I think of it like “fish traps” for dividend aristocrats. Keep about 100-200 on hand of MO, XOM, TGT, et. One side of the basket is low delta CSPs. It will only collect new shares if they are very cheap. On the other side, selling CCs. It will only let shares escape if they are really big sales. If inventory gets low (100) tighten up the CCs and loosen up the CSP. If inventory gets too high, tighten up CSPs and loosen up CCs. Income / gains from: 1. CSP premiums. 2. CC premiums. 3. Dividends. 4. Appreciation 5. Constantly lowering the ACB Now, well established dividend payers tend to be low premiums. So it’s an empirical question how the total yield on this entire strategy will pay off. I’ve got a few different portfolios right now of about equal size, so I’m going to try this in one and see how it compares.

OftenOK

I think I’m the same as others here who just don’t know enough for a deep dive, but just feel like something’s off. For example: I’m old enough to remember when everyone thought K-Mart was king, but too young to remember why they went bankrupt. Ironically, around that time, my town got a Target. So I can’t decide which way I think TGT will go.

lipmanz

TGT new CEO not playing around

Last_Cauliflower3357

Target has 20k people working in corporate jobs. I think they’ll be fine by cutting 8% of the workforce and hopefully that leads to some more agility in decision making. Cautiously optimistic about the new CEO and looking forward to hear about the mid term strategy. I own around 100 TGT shares, bought a few weeks ago at 90.

What’s the best earnings play, TGT or KSS?

AndreLeGeant88

$TGT has been held down by culture war BS that they seem to be pulling out of. These kinds of sentiments rarely last long. People have short memories, and Target in most places is the only alternative to Walmart, if not the only supercenter around. Given the lack of controversy recently, I suspect they've been "punished" enough and are going to be on the right side of the V soon if not already.
