Investors are gearing up for Target Corporation’s ($tgt) second-quarter earnings report scheduled for Wednesday, August 19, before the market opens. The retailer’s shares have surged over 20% in the past three months, reflecting growing optimism about its turnaround efforts. Analysts are closely watching digital sales growth, same-day delivery performance, and margin improvements to see if Target can sustain its recent momentum. Expectations are high, with forecasts pointing to earnings of around $2.30 per share on revenue near $26.08 billion, up from last year’s $2.05 per share and $25.21 billion in revenue.
Alongside earnings, Target’s dividend yield of approximately 3.00% continues to attract attention, offering investors a steady income stream with a quarterly payout of $1.16 per share. Recent analyst upgrades have also boosted price targets, with firms like Telsey Advisory Group and Jefferies raising their outlooks to between $170 and $177 per share, signaling confidence in Target’s ongoing recovery. As the company reports, market participants will be watching closely to determine if the positive trends are sustainable or if expectations have already been priced into the stock.
U.S. markets are currently closed and will reopen tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM ET, when Target’s earnings results will likely influence trading activity.

Dividend yields fluctuate not only with changes in dividend payments but also with stock price movements—when a stock’s price rises, its dividend yield typically falls, and vice versa, even if the dividend amount stays the same.
