If you believe TGT can sustain its higher ROIC and positive profitability while the market normalizes HPE-relative multiple gap, then TGT looks attractive versus HPE because TGT is far better on margins, earnings, and leverage-adjusted quality.
On the provided P/S basis, TGT appears far cheaper than HPE at 0.6x versus 1.8x, which mechanically produces the large implied upside. However, HPE implied price range is wide and the DCF range for TGT is materially below the current price, so the valuation signal is mixed rather than straightforward.
