Shares of Target have declined 63.53% from their November 2021 peak, due to economic headwinds, but I believe they are undervalued. TGT's valuation is attractive, trading under 11 times 2025 earnings, with a 4.65% dividend yield, and significant share buybacks and debt reduction. TGT's growth plan includes $15 billion in sales growth by 2030 through investments in private labels, digital experience, and store expansions.

You can buy a share in Walmart or Target today for $96. Target is great value today. Walmart's stability and growth are reflected in its higher P/E, but its valuation seems stretched, given similar earnings growth to Target. Both companies face risks from tariffs and potential recession, but Target's higher dividend yield and lower forward P/E make it more attractive.
Higher tariffs can lower discretionary receipts and pressure TGT's profits. But the risks are already priced in judging either by dividend yield or P/E.

Cathay Pacific Airways Limited's 2024 revenues grew 10.5%, driven by higher capacity but offset by lower yields and increased operating expenses, resulting in stable profits year-on-year. Despite a challenging trade environment and elevated costs, Cathay Pacific's stock shows significant upside potential, with a 45% appreciation forecasted based on a 5x EV/EBITDA multiple.
