If you believe TGT can reaccelerate growth and sustain margins closer to AIT levels, then the stock can work on a relative valuation basis because the current price is well below AIT-implied $280.99; otherwise, the weaker operating profile and higher leverage argue for caution.
TGT trades at a significant discount to AIT across headline and operating multiples, with 18.4x P/E vs 34.6x and 0.6x P/S vs 2.8x. The implied price of $280.99 versus the current $149.32 suggests 88.2% upside, but that gap is driven by applying AIT's much richer multiple set to TGT despite TGT's lower growth and profitability profile.
