Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane today downgraded the shares of Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">from Buy to Neutral</a> and lowered the price forecast from $142.00 to $101.00.
The analyst is concerned about slowing growth in discretionary categories amid a volatile macro environment. Risks from potential sales declines, tariff impacts, and weaker consumer data from HundredX and Placer also weighed on the outlook.
Since joining the Americas Buy List in July 2019, TGT shares have risen 6.5%, trailing the S&amp;P 500's 80% gain, said the analyst.
TGT is facing delayed recovery in discretionary spending due to weakened consumer sentiment, tariff uncertainty, and inflation concerns.
With roughly 53% of its FY24 sales tied to discretionary items, TGT is more vulnerable to shifting consumer behavior than peers like BJ's, Costco, or Walmart, which have greater grocery exposure.

Early first-quarter data shows sales softness, though seasonal events like Valentine's Day still drew strong spending, noted the analyst.
Tariff risks and weaker sales trends pose downside risk to TGT's FY25 earnings, especially if operating leverage declines and SG&amp;A costs remain high.
Target may need to raise prices by 1%–11% to maintain operating margins depending on tariff mitigation and cost-cutting scenarios.
Elevated inventory levels and early product receipts could pressure margins, especially if February's softer sales trends persist and lead to increased markdowns.
Placer data shows Target's foot traffic declined 5.4% YoY in April, and HundredX metrics reveal worsening consumer sentiment, with Target's Net Purchase Intent and Net Promoter Score both dropping below historical averages.
Declines in purchase intent span all income and frequency segments, with California and Texas showing the sharpest sentiment declines year-over-year, the analyst highlighted.
Keeping the above points in mind, the analyst lowered FY25 comp growth estimate to 0.0% from +1.2% and EPS estimate to $8.61 from $9.27.
Price Action: TGT shares traded lower by 2.44% at $89.84 at the last check Wednesday.

Target Under Pressure From Discretionary Spend Slowdown, Mounting Inventory Risk, Goldman Sachs Downgrades Stock

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retail">March retail sales</a> exceeded expectations despite weather delays and a late Easter, J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers wrote in a Wednesday research note. 
What Happened: March retail sales rose 4.6% year-over-year, accelerating from 3.5% in February and slightly exceeding Bloomberg's forecast of 1.3% sequential growth.
Core retail sales were up 4.2%, nearly flat from the prior month.

Best-Performing Sectors: Discretionary categories like electronics, restaurants, apparel, and home furnishings saw strong year-over-year growth in March, likely due to &#8220;tariff pull-forward&#8221; ahead of price hikes.
The analyst also noted that sporting goods, grocery, general merchandise, and home improvement weakened.
In April, five out of ten categories will face easier year-over-year comparisons, including auto parts (-400 bps) and nonstore (-395 bps). 
Conversely, electronics (+485 bps), apparel (+325 bps), and others will have tougher comparisons.
O'Reilly Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) will likely report first-quarter same-store sales growth of 5.7%, well above the consensus estimate of 2.9%, based on sequential trends. This performance aligns with buy-side expectations, according to internal analysis.
Tractor Supply Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSCO#NASDAQ">TSCO</a>) appears poised to underperform expectations for first-quarter, with estimated same-store sales growth of 0.3% versus Street forecasts of 1.0%–1.1%. 
This figure, however, is slightly ahead of more bearish buy-side projections, which anticipated a 1%–2% decline, noted the analyst.

Shares of companies within the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness after Fed Chair Powell made remarks at the Economic Club. Stocks across sectors may also be weighed down on trade tension fears after after the United States informed NVIDIA that it may require a license to export chips to China.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">Federal Reserve Chair</a> Jerome Powell said Wednesday that the U.S. is preparing to relax certain cryptocurrency and banking regulations, marking a notable shift in tone toward the digital asset sector.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVJtuioBY5w&amp;t=2547s">Speaking</a> at the Economic Club of Chicago on Wednesday, Powell acknowledged that the crypto market has become more mainstream and emphasized the need for a clear regulatory framework, particularly around stablecoins.
"There'll be some loosening of that [crypto-related banking guidance]," Powell said, referring to previously strict rules imposed on banks engaging with crypto assets. 
He added that the goal would be to foster innovation "in a way that preserves safety and soundness" in the financial system.
Powell cited the failures and scandals that once dominated the crypto landscape as a reason for the Fed's initial cautious stance. 
But with stablecoins gaining traction and bipartisan discussions underway in both chambers of Congress, Powell said the environment is changing. 
"Congress is again looking at both the Senate and the House [for] a framework, a legal framework for stablecoins," he said. "That's a good idea. We need that."
Stablecoins, digital assets pegged to fiat currencies, have grown into a significant part of the crypto economy, facilitating transactions and offering dollar exposure in the digital ecosystem. 
Powell stressed that any framework must include "consumer protections of the typical sorts and transparency."
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44845787/as-us-economy-resembles-emerging-market-bitcoin-is-more-mag-8-than-gold-mike-novogratz-says">As US Economy Resembles &#8216;Emerging Market&#8217;, Bitcoin Is More &#8216;MAG-8&#8217; Than Gold, Mike Novogratz Says</a>
Why It Matters: His comments come amid a broader review of financial regulatory policy, including how central banks manage inflation and monetary policy tools like quantitative easing.
But Powell's remarks on digital assets are among the clearest signals yet that the Fed may ease its grip on crypto-related banking restrictions, particularly as the sector becomes more institutionalized.
The potential easing could open the door for U.S. banks to custody crypto assets or process payments in stablecoins—something many in the industry have long awaited. 
Powell's remarks also reinforce the growing view in Washington that crypto's integration into the financial system must be met with proportional, risk-based oversight rather than blanket restrictions.
Speaking with Benzinga, Sid Powell, CEO of Maple Finance, welcomed Powell's remarks, noting, "Powell discusses the need for a legal framework for stablecoins. This is a shift in tone from prior years and reflects a maturity of the space, with Powell acknowledging that stablecoins are a sector that could have wide implications for the economy and US users." 
Powell's comments suggest potential easing in areas like bank custody of crypto assets and acceptance of stablecoins, areas the industry will closely watch.

What Analysts Are Saying About NICE Stock

JP Morgan analyst Reginald L. Smith observed that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC/USD) miners saw mixed performance in early April. A drop in the average Bitcoin price during the first half of the month strained mining economics<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44794011/bitcoin-reclaims-momentum-as-100k-calls-resurface-and-tariff-relief-lifts-market-mood" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> despite solid operational gains in March.</a>
Per Smith, pure-play miners like MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) and CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLSK#NASDAQ">CLSK</a>) outpaced Bitcoin&#8217;s price gains, while firms with exposure<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44816721/bitcoin-price-rips-through-86k-as-strategic-reserve-push-gains-global-traction" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> to high-performance computing lagged behind.</a>
The analyst notes that the average Bitcoin price in early April was around $82,600, down 3% from March. It dipped to $75,000 but later recovered to about $85,000.

Smith said March was a strong operational month, with U.S.-listed miners adding around 15 EH/s and increasing coin production, partly due to easier month-over-month comparisons. Smith highlights that this was led by IREN Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IREN#NASDAQ">IREN</a>) and Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>).
However, the overall network hash rate grew faster than U.S. miners&#8217; expansion, and Bitcoin's average price dipped in the first half of April, putting pressure on mining profitability.
Smith also estimated that U.S.-listed miners are now trading at roughly 1.2 times their share of the four-year block reward opportunity, down from recent highs and the lowest in over two years.
According to Smith, MARA Holdings and Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTDR#NASDAQ">BTDR</a>) were the best and worst-performing stocks over the first two weeks of April, respectively.
Other firms that delivered weaker performance than their peers are TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WULF#NASDAQ">WULF</a>), IREN Limited and Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>), owing to their high-performance computing exposure.

Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

31 Analysts Assess Okta: What You Need To Know

In the current session, Western Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDC#NASDAQ">WDC</a>) is trading at $35.43, after a 1.39% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 21.09%, and in the past year, by 31.35%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744830016_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Western Digital P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Western Digital has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 23.36 of the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744830016_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Trader Notes: Crypto analyst MaxBecauseBTC <a href="https://x.com/MaxBecauseBTC/status/1912554369301574063">says</a> Bitcoin is approaching a major trend shift, with buyers beginning to step in at current levels. 
If the price can flip the zero line, he anticipates an upward breakout but emphasizes that key confirmation is still pending.
According to analytics firm Santiment, crypto markets are staging a modest rebound, with Bitcoin hovering near $85,000 and repeatedly testing that level. 
The market intelligence platform is cautiously optimistic for a potential push toward $90,000, though broader moves will hinge on evolving tariff developments and global macro conditions this week.

Technical analyst Kevin highlighted a potential inverse head and shoulders pattern forming on the Bitcoin chart, a typically bullish signal in calmer environments. 
However, current macro headwinds, particularly around trade tariffs, are clouding sentiment and delaying conviction.

Meanwhile, Blockchainedbb <a href="https://x.com/blockchainedbb/status/1912540473480053057">sees</a> Bitcoin holding steady around the $85,000 zone and warns it's not an ideal time to short. 
She expects some choppy, sideways price action through Wednesday, cautioning that early short positions could get liquidated before the market reveals its hand. Her advice: stay on the sidelines and wait for clearer signals by Friday.
