Peter Lynch, the legendary investor who turned Fidelity's Magellan Fund into a powerhouse, stood before an audience at the National Press Club back in 1994 and laid out what might be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44211455/peter-lynchs-evergreen-market-advice-if-you-cant-find-growth-companies-in-innings-three-through-five-look-at-turnarounds">best investing advice</a> of all time: "The key organ in your body in the stock market is the stomach, not the brain."
His point? It's not about intelligence; it's about discipline. Investors lose money not because they lack knowledge, but because they can't stomach market volatility. Fast forward to March 10, and the markets are once again testing investors' nerves. With the Dow plunging over 890 points and the Nasdaq hitting a record low since 2020, it's the kind of environment where Lynch's words are more relevant than ever.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"There's Always Something to Worry About"</h2>
Lynch was clear —investing is never smooth sailing. "All you must know is that it'll always be scary, there will always be something to worry about. You must forget all about it," he said.
Right now, investors are worrying about U.S. tariffs, global market instability, and interest rate hikes. But if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44240968/history-repeats-market-enters-correction-zone-in-the-same-week-when-dot-com-bubble-burst-25-years-ago-heres-what-experts-are-saying">history has taught us</a> anything, it's that market downturns aren't anomalies—they're part of the game. According to Lynch, "History teaches you the market goes down. It goes down a lot." He pointed out that corrections of 10% or more happen about every two years, while bear markets (declines of 25% or more) hit roughly every six years.
Translation: If you're panicking about the market now, you might as well panic forever—because there's always going to be something.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Timing the Market Is a Waste of Time</h2>
A common mistake investors make is trying to predict the stock market. Lynch thought that was ridiculous: "People get too carried away. They try to predict the stock market. That is a total waste of time."
This is exactly what's happening now. Analysts at JPMorgan Chase, RBC Capital Markets , and Cit have downgraded U.S. stocks while upgrading China, signaling a shift in global confidence. But does it matter? Lynch would argue no.
If professional economists and even the head of the Federal Reserve can't predict long-term rates, why would an average investor think they can outguess the market? Instead of playing the guessing game, Lynch's advice was simple: own good companies, study them, and let time do the work.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Invest in What You Understand</h2>
Lynch was famous for his "buy what you know" philosophy. He mocked investors who put money into stocks they couldn't explain: "If you can't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42499608/investment-guru-peter-lynch-if-you-cant-explain-to-an-11-year-old-in-2-minutes-or-less-why-you-own-t">explain to a 10-year-old in two minutes</a> or less why you own a stock, you shouldn't own it."
He backed it up with a personal example: Dunkin' Donuts. He knew it was a business that made sense—people drink coffee no matter what the economy does. "I made 10 or 15 times my money in Dunkin' Donuts. Those are the stocks I can understand," he explained.
This is a lesson for today's investors drowning in AI stocks, meme stocks, and speculative plays with no profits. If you can't clearly say why a company is worth owning, maybe you shouldn't own it.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Market Rewards Patience, Not Panic</h2>
Market crashes lead to panic selling, but Lynch believed that was a guaranteed way to lose money. He argued that some of the best investing days happen right in the middle of bear markets—a trend that Lazard Asset Management confirmed by analyzing decades of data.
His advice was ignore the noise and focus on the long game. He pointed out that companies like Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) rewarded patient investors who weren't in a rush. He told investors, "You could have bought Walmart 10 years after it went public and still made 35 times your money."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line: Lynch's Advice Still Holds Up in 2025</h2>
Markets rise, markets fall, and investors freak out just like they always have. But Lynch's message was clear: if you understand what you own, ignore the panic, and hold strong, you'll do well.
His investing philosophy worked in 1994, and it still works in 2025. The only question is—can your stomach handle it?

Evercore ISI Group Maintains Outperform on Walmart, Lowers Price Target to $100

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of America&#8217;s largest corporations on Tuesday, amid growing economic concerns and a recent slump in stock values.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s meeting with around 100 CEOs is part of a regular gathering of the Business Roundtable in Washington. This influential group includes leaders from major U.S. companies such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>). BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) CEO Larry Fink and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) CEO David Solomon are also likely to be part of the Business Roundtable as per Reuters.
Chuck Robbins, the CEO of Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), is the Chair of the Business Roundtable.
Despite prevailing market concerns over Trump&#8217;s policies, the White House remains optimistic. White House spokesman Kush Desai told Reuters, &#8220;Industry leaders have responded to President Trump&#8217;s America First economic agenda of tariffs, deregulation, and the unleashing of American energy with trillions in investment commitments that will create thousands of new jobs.&#8221;
Earlier in March, Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten extended support to Trump&#8217;s agenda, like creating more American jobs or increasing investment in domestic businesses and manufacturing. However, Bolten urged Congress to find a common ground for agreement on tax reforms, significant regulatory reforms, and the removal of the recent tariffs.  &#8220;These tariffs, especially if they are long-lasting, run the risk of creating serious economic impact,&#8221; stated Bolten.

Why It Matters: The meeting comes at a time when the market is experiencing turbulence, largely due to fears of inflation and economic downturn. U.S. stocks experienced a significant drop on Monday, with the S&amp;P 500 down nearly 3% since Trump&#8217;s election and 4.5% down for the year. 
Tom Lee, the research head of Fundstrat Global Advisors, has labeled the recent stock-market plunge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44244329/tom-lee-predicts-market-stabilization-following-mondays-overreaction-foresees-may-rate-cut">as an overreaction</a>, predicting market stabilization and a potential rate cut in May. Lee highlighted Tuesday&#8217;s Business Roundtable as one of the events that could lead to market stabilization and allay investor concerns.
However, the overall sentiment remains cautious, with investors closely watching the outcome of the meeting and the future direction of Trump&#8217;s economic policies.&nbsp;

Shares of food and beverage related stocks are trading lower as investors assess tariff impact on the sector.

A leading retailer executive is sending warning signs on consumer spending in the wake of higher egg prices, tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43667632/inflation-rises-in-january-housing-costs-up-adding-to-consumers-2025-concerns">and higher inflation.</a>
What Happened: Weeks after Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street">fourth-quarter financial results,</a> the company's CEO is sending warnings about macroeconomic concerns.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said budget-conscious consumers are changing their spending habits as food prices stay high.
"You can see that the money runs out before the month is gone, you can see that people are buying smaller pack sizes at the end of the month," McMillon said at the Economic Club of Chicago recently, as <a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2025/03/01/walmart-ceo-warns-food-prices-are-causing-frustration-and-pain/">reported </a>by the Boston Herald.
McMillon said American consumers are looking for value when making their purchases.
While some items have come down in price, McMillon said food prices on items, including eggs remain elevated and are leading to consumers changing their spending habits.
"There are lots of income levels in this country — if you're at the lower end of that scale, you are feeling more frustration and pain because of higher food prices. They've persisted for years now, and you're just tired of it."

Why It's Important: McMillon's comments come after Walmart's guidance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43869433/walmart-expects-slower-growth-in-an-uncertain-time-cfo-says-on-earnings-call">signaled uncertainty over </a>macroeconomic conditions.
Walmart CFO John David Rainey said a higher level of uncertainty led to the company's cautious guidance.
"We have to acknowledge that we are in an uncertain time. And we don't want to get out over our skis here. There's a lot of the year to play out," Rainey said.
Rainey said tariffs create more uncertainty with food prices already high. The CFO said the retailer will work hard to "keep prices low."
"We are not immune to what is being suggested, but we'll work with suppliers."
Rainey said egg prices were a bit of an anomaly and could work itself out over time.
The comments also come after January inflation jumped the most since August 2023, with the rising price in the cost of eggs one of the contributing factors.
Other retailers facing high inflation and changing consumer spending have shared comments on Trump's tariff plans in recent months, including Dollar Tree Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) CEO Mike Creedon.
Creedon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">said the retailer</a> could increase prices or change its product assortment due to Trump's tariffs. The CEO highlighted potential changes to pack sizes as one way to fight off tariffs.
"We believe there is a wide range of potential actions that we can take to help mitigate additional tariffs if and when they materialize," Creedon previously said.
Based on comments from Walmart and Dollar Tree, consumers are already buying smaller pack sizes in some cases with high food costs at stores and inflation still a major concern. With smaller pack sizes already being bought and consumers running out of money by month&#8217;s end, tariffs that could see prices rise could be a large concern for consumers.
WMT Price Action: Walmart stock is down 3.47% to $88.50 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $58.56 to $105.30. Walmart stock is down 1.6% year-to-date in 2025 and up 46% over the last year.

Walmart CEO Says Consumers Changing Spending Due To Inflation, Egg Prices: 'The Money Runs Out Before The Month Is Gone … People Are Buying Smaller Pack Sizes'

Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) received temporary relief Thursday when President Donald Trump announced a month long delay on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44149833/trump-delays-ford-gm-stellantis-from-from-tariffs-on-mexico-canada-for-one-month">tariffs for Mexican imports covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement </a>until April 2, just days after the retail giant warned of &#8220;meaningful year-over-year profit pressure&#8221; due to trade uncertainty. 
The retailer, with nearly 2,000 stores nationwide, remains particularly vulnerable to trade disruptions with more than three-quarters of its sales coming from general merchandise like apparel, electronics and home decor—much of it imported, according to the F<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/b9b7808f-15fb-4e42-8b89-75668b640dbe">inancial Times</a>.

The company&#8217;s forecast of &#8220;around flat&#8221; comparable sales for 2025 would mark a third straight year of stagnant or declining sales performance. 
&#8220;During February, we saw record performance around Valentine&#8217;s Day. However, our top-line performance for the month was soft, as uncharacteristically cold weather across the US affected apparel sales, and declining consumer confidence impacted our discretionary assortment overall,&#8221; Jim Lee, Target&#8217;s chief financial officer, told investors.

While Trump&#8217;s tariff postponement offers temporary breathing room, the underlying business challenges remain. Target&#8217;s shares have declined nearly 35% over the past year, significantly underperforming compared to the 12.25% rise in the S&amp;P 500, as inflation-strained consumers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/04/38073451/analyzing-the-effects-of-inflation-on-american-consumers-a-comprehensive-statistical-study">pull back on discretionary spending</a>. 
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated that Canadian tariffs might also see a similar postponement, though no official announcement had been made by late Thursday, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/economy/tariffs-delay-mexico-canada/index.html">CNN reported</a>. Trump announced the Mexican tariff delay after speaking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114116432894994278">writing on Truth Social</a> that it was &#8220;an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum.&#8221;

The delay pushes the tariff implementation to April 2, contingent on Mexico and Canada showing &#8220;significant progress&#8221; in addressing border security and fentanyl trafficking concerns—leaving retailers like Target in continued uncertainty, according to CNN. 
For Target, which reported fourth-quarter net profit of $1.1 billion—near the high end of its guidance—the respite may provide time to adjust supply chains, but the fundamental challenges of shifting consumer spending patterns, increased competition from Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), and overall retail sector pressures continue, the FT reported.

Mario Day Bonanza: Nintendo Offers $349 Switch Deal, Super Nintendo World Sweepstakes, And Talking Mario Alarm Clocks

Esteemed investor Peter Lynch shared his insights on the current state of the stock market and his strategies for selecting stocks.
What Happened: Lynch, in his discussion with Barron&#8217;s, emphasized the superiority of growth stocks, which are companies experiencing significant sales growth, over non-growth stocks. He warned investors not to mistake earnings growth, which can include turnarounds and cyclicals, for sales growth.
Despite the growing popularity of passive management, Lynch pointed out that active management continues to flourish at&nbsp;Fidelity, with many funds consistently outperforming their benchmarks.
Lynch underscored the importance of investing in companies that offer innovative products or services. He cited&nbsp;Stop &amp; Shop&nbsp;and&nbsp;Dunkin&#8217; Donuts&nbsp;as examples of successful local companies.
During <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/peter-lynch-how-to-find-growth-opportunities-in-todays-stock-market-51576877980">the </a>interview, when asked about what characterizes a great company, Lynch said, &#8220;My best stocks have been ones where I didn't have to worry about the big picture. A company with a better mousetrap, a growth company in a non-growth industry.&nbsp;
He expressed regret for not investing sooner in companies such as&nbsp;Walmart Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and&nbsp;Sherwin Williams Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>), attributing this to a lack of research and an underestimation of their growth potential.
Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42935107/peter-lynchs-money-making-advice-when-things-go-from-terrible-to-semi-terrible-to-ok-you-can-make-a-lot-of-money" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Peter Lynch&#8217;s Money-Making Advice: ‘When Things Go From Terrible to Semi-Terrible to OK, You Can Make a Lot of Money&#8217;</a>
Lynch advised investors to invest in a stock during the early stages of its growth and to sell before it reaches its peak. He also raised concerns about the current scarcity of growth companies, flagging this as a potential warning sign.
&#8220;If you cannot find growth companies in innings three through five of the ballgame, look at turnarounds, special situations, back at the cyclicals. There's a real shortage now of growth companies. That is a red flag, because all the money is flowing into a few companies. There's an end to that game. It will scare me if this trend continues for a couple more years,&#8221; he added. 
Why It Matters: Lynch&#8217;s insights come at a time when the stock market is experiencing significant volatility. His emphasis on the importance of growth stocks and active management provides valuable guidance for investors navigating this uncertain landscape. 
His regret over missed investment opportunities serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough research and the potential benefits of investing in companies with strong growth potential. 
His warning about the scarcity of growth companies could signal a shift in market dynamics, making his insights particularly relevant for investors.

Walmart Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Walmart's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.95% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 38.20 million shares sold short, which is 0.89% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.61 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Walmart Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741195823_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Walmart has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Walmart's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Walmart's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.59%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Peering Into Walmart's Recent Short Interest

Ecommerce giant Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) recently hit a significant milestone for the retail sector with its quarterly revenue passing Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) to become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43567475/amazon-vs-walmart-did-amazons-q4-revenue-beat-the-worlds-largest-retailer">world's largest retailer.</a>
When it comes to the battle of the two retail giants, Benzinga readers have a clear favorite.
What Happened: Amazon posted revenue of $187.79 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street">the fourth quarter,</a> a total that surpassed the $180.55 billion reported by Walmart in the fourth quarter.
This makes Amazon the new global retail leader in revenue, although it is only for one quarter currently. Investors should also note that Amazon's total includes its AWS cloud service, which accounted for a revenue of $28.8 billion in the fourth quarter.
Benzinga recently asked readers about the two retailers.
"Which retail giant do you expect to lead by the end of 2025?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Amazon: 48%</li>
<li>They'll remain neck-and-neck: 34%</li>
<li>Walmart: 18%</li>
</ul>
Amazon was the clear leader in the poll, which suggests investors think the ecommerce giant could have the top stock return in 2025 of the two companies and could also continue to pass Walmart in revenue totals.

Why It's Important: While Amazon surpassed Walmart in the fourth quarter, Walmart maintained its lead in the 2024 fiscal year totals.
Amazon&#8217;s revenue was $638.0 billion in 2024, including $107.6 billion from AWS. Walmart's was $681.0 billion.
There is a chance that Amazon continues to surpass Walmart each quarter, and by the third quarter, it would have four quarters ahead of the retailer in the books and be the retail revenue leader on a trailing twelve-month basis.
While Amazon is viewed as the leader in the poll, the stock has trailed Walmart year-to-date in 2025 and over the last year.
Amazon stock is down 6.95% year-to-date in 2025 and up 15.5% over the last year. Compare that to Walmart stock, which is up 8.4% year-to-date in 2025 and up 64.6% over the last year.
Along with seeing Amazon as the outperformer in 2025, Benzinga readers<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/01/43041374/exclusive-how-high-will-sp-500-go-under-donald-trump-in-2025-readers-are-optimistic-26-say-this"> also previously predicted</a> the S&amp;P 500 would have a strong return for the full year.
&#8220;What do you think the return will be in 2025, his [Donald Trump&#8216;s] first year back,&#8221; Benzinga asked in January.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>16%+: 26%</li>
<li>11% to 15%: 22%</li>
<li>Will Decline: 22%</li>
<li>6% to 10%: 19%</li>
<li>0% to 5%:&nbsp;12%</li>
</ul>
The poll found the largest percentage believes the S&amp;P 500 Index will post gains of at least 16% in 2025. The 11% to 15% range came in second place at 22%.

Retailer Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) could highlight strong Black Friday sales and the impact tariffs could have on consumers when the company reports fourth-quarter financials before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market open Tuesday.</a>
Here are the analyst estimates and commentary, plus key items to watch ahead of the report.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Target to report fourth-quarter revenue of $30.84 billion. That&#8217;s down from $31.92 billion in last year's fourth quarter, according to data<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent030325&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has missed analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters. It beat estimates in six of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect Target to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $2.26, down from $2.98 in last year's fourth quarter. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in one straight quarter while beating estimates in six of the last 10 quarters.
Target's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42085436/target-q3-earnings-supply-chain-chaos-hits-bottomline-slashes-annual-profit-outlook-stock-tanks">guidance for the fourth quarter</a> calls for earnings per share to be in a range of $1.85 to $2.45.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/44041104/how-to-earn-500-a-month-from-target-stock-ahead-of-q4-earnings">How To Earn $500 A Month From Target Stock Ahead Of Q4 Earnings</a>
What Analysts Are Saying: Target previously reported holiday sales growth of +2.8%, but maintained its earnings per share range, which could suggest a heavier impact from promotions and discounts, Truist analyst Scot Ciccarelli said in a new investor note.
The analyst has a Hold rating and $134 price target. Target's first quarter also appears to be off to a slow start, the analyst added.
"We also think there is a chance that the company could pursue significant price investments (which we believe is needed) to improve their competitive pricing and drive longer-term share gains," Ciccarelli said.
The analyst said holiday sales growth was in-line with investor expectations and that is the assumption for the fourth quarter.
"Based on 2 years of sluggish sales performance and what appears to be a soft start to 1Q25, we think the company will likely guide comps towards a 0% to +2% range."
Ciccarelli said competitive pressure from Amazon.com and Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) "continue to mount" for Target.
"We remain cautious on TGT given continued share pressures and think that the company may need to accelerate their pricing investments to improve its competitive positioning."
Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target on Target stock from $164 to $166<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43102000/target-the-bull-vs-bear-case-for-2025"> in January.</a>
The analyst said Target underperformed other retailers in 2024, but the company's higher mix of discretionary products could help in the future.
"We also think TGT can benefit over time from leveraging its strong fulfillment model and its alternative revenue streams, including Roundel (advertising), Target Circle (membership), and Target Plus (marketplace)," McShane said.
The analyst said Target stock had "limited downside potential" at the time.
Here are other recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings"> analyst ratings on Target </a>and their price targets:
<ul>
<li>JPMorgan: Maintained Neutral rating, raised price target from $139 to $146</li>
<li>Bernstein: Maintained Market Perform rating, raised price target from $139 to $142</li>
<li>Guggenheim: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $145 to $155</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: A recent <a href="https://www.placer.ai/blog/visitation-trends-and-shopping-behaviors-at-walmart-target">report </a>from Placer.ai showed that Target store visits were up 1.0% in November, down 1.3% in December and up 3.6% in January, which could signal improved sales for the first quarter.
The same report recently showed Walmart's foot traffic patterns matching up closely with the company's comparable sales growth for its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street"> recently reported quarter.</a>
While Walmart is a rival, data from Placer.ai shows that Target has customers with higher median household income, has a larger share of repeat monthly visitors and a higher market share of shopping from households with children.
The quarterly results and comparison to recent results from Walmart, who beat analyst estimates for revenue and earnings per share, could show if higher-income shoppers are struggling more or less than lower-income shoppers.
Target's fourth-quarter results will include Black Friday and holiday shopping sales. The company's partnership with Taylor Swift on an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42351922/trump-predicted-taylor-swift-sales-would-drop-target-data-shows-over-800k-sold"> exclusive Eras Tour book </a>saw lines outside stores and strong sales over the Black Friday shopping holiday.
In the third quarter, Target highlighted Beauty, Food &amp; Beverage and Essentials as sectors seeing strong year-over-year growth.
Investors and analysts will be looking for commentary on what sectors are seeing strong sales and how the future impact of tariffs on certain goods could impact the retail giant.
Price Action: Target stock is up 0.3% to $124.56 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $120.21 to $181.86. Target stock is down 9.2% year-to-date in 2025 and down 17.2% over the past year.
Compare that to Walmart stock, which trades at $98.11 versus a 52-week trading range of $58.40 to $105.30. Walmart stock is up 9.0% year-to-date in 2025 and up 65.4% over the past year.

Target Q4 Earnings Preview: Why One Analyst Remains 'Cautious' On Retailer After Walmart's Report

Famed investor Peter Lynch has offered crucial advice for those considering<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42935107/peter-lynchs-money-making-advice-when-things-go-from-terrible-to-semi-terrible-to-ok-you-can-make-a-lot-of-money"> entering the stock market</a>.
What Happened: Lynch, who is known for his impressive&nbsp;29% average annual return during&nbsp;his 13-year stint at Fidelity&#8217;s Magellan Fund, warned against investing in the stock market without adhering to four specific guidelines.
In an interview <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fidelity-legend-peter-lynch-i-never-said-to-invest-in-the-stock-market-120755736.html">with</a> Yahoo a few years ago, Lynch shared his thoughts on investing. His first piece of advice was to invest in companies you are familiar with, using his successful investment in Dunkin&#8217; Donuts as an example.
However, he added an important caveat: simply knowing the company isn&#8217;t enough; one must also understand its business model and story.
Secondly, Lynch underscored the importance of perusing investor presentations to gain a more profound understanding of a company. He pointed out that retail investors today have the same immediate access to information as professional investors, a notable shift from when he started his career.
Thirdly, Lynch emphasized the necessity of understanding a company&#8217;s growth stage, or&nbsp;&#8220;the inning of the ball&nbsp;game,&#8221; citing Walmart Inc. as an example of a company that continued to expand even&nbsp;after 25 years in business.

Finally, Lynch proposed that prospective investors should be able to condense their investment thesis into a few key points. This practice aids in understanding why to purchase a particular stock and when to sell it.
Lynch concluded by reassuring investors that not every investment thesis will be successful, stating,&nbsp;&#8220;I was probably right six&nbsp;times out of 10, maybe&nbsp;six and a half.&#8221; However, if the thesis remains valid, he recommended purchasing more shares when stocks decline.
Why It Matters: Lynch&#8217;s advice comes at a time when retail investing is on the rise, with more individuals seeking to navigate the stock market. 
His guidelines provide a roadmap for potential investors, emphasizing the importance of thorough research, understanding of a company&#8217;s growth stage, and the ability to articulate an investment thesis. 
As the landscape of investing changes, Lynch&#8217;s insights remain a valuable resource for those looking to make informed decisions in the stock market.
