  20. Target 10Q Outlook • For the fiscal year 2006, a 53-week year, Target believes it will deliver a mid-teen percentage increase in earnings per share, in line with long-term growth objectives. They do not expect the 53rd week to have a material impact on full year earnings results, though it is expected to have a marginally adverse impact on gross margin rate and interest expense and a marginally favorable impact on sales growth and expense leverage, compared with a 52-week year. • For the remainder of 2006, Target expects to continue to generate a double-digit percentage increase in sales due to the contribution of our new store expansion and our continued growth in same-store sales.

  21. Recommendation • Based on the results of our DCF model and the strong future outlook of Target Corporations financial situation, we rate this stock a Buy. • All data provided originated from the Target Corporation 10K 2005, 10Q, Yahoo.com, and Bloomberg.com
