GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Business Description

Target Corp was incorporated in Minnesota in 1902. The Company operates as three reportable segments: U.S. Retail, U.S. Credit Card and Canadian. The Company's Retail Segment includes all of its merchandising operations, including its fully integrated online business. It offers both everyday essentials and fashionable, differentiated merchandise at discounted prices. The Company's ability to deliver a shopping experience that is preferred by its customers, referred to as "guests," is supported by its strong supply chain and technology infrastructure, a devotion to innovation that is ingrained in its organization and culture, and its disciplined approach to managing its current business and investing in future growth. As a component of the Retail Segment, its online presence is designed to enable guests to purchase products seamlessly either online or by locating them in one of its stores with the aid of online research and location tools. Its online shopping site offers similar merchandise categories to those found in its stores, excluding food items and household essentials. The Company's Credit Card Segment offers credit to qualified guests through its branded proprietary credit cards, the Target Visa and the Target Card. Additionally, it offers a branded proprietary Target Debit Card. Collectively, and these REDcards help strengthen the bond with its guests, drive incremental sales and contribute to its results of operations. Its Canadian Segment was initially reported in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of its purchase of leasehold interests in Canada from Zellers, Inc. (Zellers). This segment includes costs incurred in the U.S. and Canada related to its planned 2013 Canadian retail market entry. It operates Target general merchandise stores, the majority of which offer a wide assortment of general merchandise and a more limited food assortment than traditional supermarkets. During the past three years it completed store remodels that enabled it to offer an expanded food assortment in many of its general merchandise stores. The expanded food assortment includes some perishables and some additional dry, dairy and frozen items. In addition, it operates SuperTarget stores with general merchandise items and a full line of food items comparable to that of traditional supermarkets. Target.com offers a wide assortment of general merchandise including many items found in its stores and a complementary assortment, such as extended sizes and colors, sold only online. It also sells many products under its owned and exclusive brands. Owned brands include merchandise sold under private-label brands including, but not limited to, Archer Farms, Archer Farms Simply Balanced, Boots & Barkley, choxie, Circo, Durabuilt, Embark, Gilligan & O'Malley, itso, Market Pantry, Merona, Play Wonder, Prospirit, Room Essentials, Smith & Hawken, Spritz, Sutton & Dodge, Target Home, up & up, Wine Cube, and Xhilaration.
