Target Corporation (TGT) has been in the news for numerous reasons, generating mixed opinions. Despite eliminating 1,800 corporate job positions in significant downsizing, the company has showcased resilience by launching 'Step Into the Holidays' with attractive weekend events and deals 40% and more off. Some theories suggest that Target could be an ideal candidate for a private takeover. However, other experts, including Jim Cramer, doubt the company's ability to remain competitive with rivals like Walmart and point towards the need for lower prices. Providing some assurance to investors, Target is buoyed by a strong institutional backing of 85% and continues to record growth in its regular quarterly dividend payouts. They have also announced a Woolrich partnership, offering a trendy, limited-time collection. The company is yet to navigate a potentially rough environment as it cuts workforce numbers, pushing for efficiency. Critics, meanwhile, argue over Target's identity as a retailer. Despite these hurdles and a 15% tumble in stock, some believe it is undervalued, ready for a turnaround and remains a reliable dividend stock for retirement portfolios. Finally, while there are warnings about investing in the retail giant due to their laying off workforce, some investors are increasing their stakes, showing enduring faith in the brand.
