3 Closing price as at the filing date of Target Corp. Annual Report.
The annual financial data reveals several notable trends regarding share price, earnings per share (EPS), and the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio over the analyzed periods.
- Share Price
- The share price exhibited fluctuation throughout the timeline, starting at $49.75 in 2005 and showing a general upward trajectory with intermittent declines. There was a significant decline to $29.97 in 2009, likely reflecting broader market conditions. Subsequently, the share price recovered and showed a strong increase, peaking at $216.00 in 2022. After this peak, there was a noticeable decline to $107.28 by 2025, indicating some volatility in recent years.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS)
- EPS showed variability with an initial value of $3.61 in 2005, fluctuating mildly until 2014, when a sharp decline led to a negative EPS of -$2.55, showing a significant challenge that year. Following this, EPS rebounded strongly, reaching $15.02 in 2022. Despite the volatility, EPS remained positive and stable in the later years, ending near $8.98 in 2025. This indicates recovery and growth potential after the period of negative earnings.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio demonstrated inconsistency across the years. Early values ranged between approximately 10.19 and 19.07, with some missing data around 2014. The ratio peaked notably at 27.08 in 2023, which may indicate high market optimism or overvaluation relative to earnings at that time. By 2025, the P/E ratio decreased to 11.95, suggesting a normalization or correction in the stock’s valuation relative to its earnings.
Overall, the data indicates periods of significant volatility and recovery, with strong EPS growth following a major earnings decline and a corresponding fluctuation in share price and valuation multiples. The dynamics between the P/E ratio and EPS suggest shifts in investor sentiment and valuation standards over the years analyzed.
