If you believe TGT can improve margins and return to positive growth, then the stock looks attractive relative to SHW because it trades at a steep valuation discount despite acceptable leverage and a decent Piotroski score.
TGT trades at a deep discount to SHW on both earnings and sales-based multiples, with the gap especially pronounced on P/S and EV/Revenue. That said, the market is clearly awarding SHW a premium for its stronger profitability and growth profile, which helps explain much of the multiple spread.
