Target stock traded at EUR 137.00 at Lang & Schwarz at 11:39 a.m. CEST on October 20, 2026.

What anchors the recovery?

Target's latest reported quarter supplied the stronger operating backdrop. For the second quarter of fiscal 2026 ended August 1, 2026, net sales reached USD 26.54 billion, up 5.30 percent year over year, while comparable sales increased 3.80 percent. Those figures came from Target's filing summary published by Ticker Scout on October 13, 2026.

The earnings quality was mixed. Diluted earnings per share reached USD 4.11, compared with USD 2.05 a year earlier, but a USD 994 million pretax tariff refund contributed USD 1.65 per share. Excluding that benefit, earnings per share still increased 20.00 percent, according to Ticker Scout.

Three dates shape the story

On May 20, 2026, Target reported first-quarter net sales of USD 25.44 billion and comparable sales growth of 5.60 percent. On August 19, 2026, it reported second-quarter net sales of USD 26.54 billion and comparable sales growth of 3.80 percent. On October 13, 2026, Evercore ISI cut its price target from USD 170.00 to USD 165.00, as reported by MarketScreener.

Dates ahead for shareholders

Target's next substantiated shareholder date is the November 10, 2026, ex-dividend date for its USD 1.16 quarterly dividend, listed by MarketScreener. Yahoo Finance reported on October 7, 2026, that Target's next report was expected on November 18, 2026.

EUR quote after midday

Target's market capitalization was USD 69.6 billion as of October 20, 2026, while its primary listing is on the NYSE in USD. The latest quarter shows sales and traffic improving, but the tariff refund means the next report will provide a cleaner test of underlying earnings.
