UBS initiated coverage on Target (NYSE: TGT) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $75.00. Analyst Jason DeRise said all eyes were on Target's operations in Canada.
"Target will rapidly open its first 124 Canadian stores by year end. Target guides to US$6bn in sales and US$720m in EBITDA by 2017. We think the expansion is risky as TGT has little time to test its Canadian format . . .. The 2017 goal requires 15% higher sales/sqft and 200bps more EBITDA margin vs its current US stores. We see a low probability of TGT increasing achieving this," said DeRise.
