Neutral Sentiment

Analysts voiced skepticism over Target's choice of a two-decade company veteran as its next chief executive, warning that his appointment signals continuity rather than the sweeping changes the retailer needs to revive growth, particularly as tariff pressures mount.Is Michael Fiddelke, currently the chief operating officer, really an agent of change, argued DA Davidson, calling the move "catalyst lost." The research firm lowered its price target on the company's stock to $115 from $125, while maintaining its 'Buy' rating.Fiddelke, 49, will start in February next year and replace CEO Brian Cornel, who will retire. Fiddelke said on the earnings call that returning to growth would be his number one priority.Truist, which also lowered its price target while maintaining its 'Hold rating, stated that "substantial" investment changes, which Target needs to improve its long-term relevance, seem "less likely to occur under a long-time Target veteran."Jefferies lowered its price target by $5 and maintained its&nbsp;‘Buy’&nbsp;rating. Currently, 23 of the 37 analysts covering Target have a 'Hold' rating, nine rate it 'Buy' or higher, and four rate it 'strong sell,' according to Koyfin data. Their average price target is $102.68, just 4% below the last closing price.In recent years, Target has struggled to attract consumers and grow sales, losing its edge to discount retailers like Walmart and e-commerce companies.
