Deep Analysis

Return on Equity (ROE) measures how much profit a company generates for each dollar of shareholders’ equity, so 22.0% means TGT earns $0.22 for every dollar of owner-invested capital.

That level sits above the sector median of 13.5%, placing TGT in the 70th percentile among its sector peers. The trend is not available: the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both N/A, and no historical values beyond the current 22.0% are provided. Without trend data, the high current ROE indicates solid profitability today, but you cannot confirm whether this performance is improving, stable, or deteriorating. The absence of a trend adds uncertainty, though the strong level relative to peers still suggests lower near-term profitability risk than the median peer. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the competitive ROE is a positive, but the unknown trajectory prevents a more bullish stance.
