How to read this page

The big number above is TGT's BEACON composite — a 0-100 sector-relative score blending three factors: Value (40%), Quality (35%), and Momentum (25%). A score of 70+ means TGT ranks well against its Consumer Staples peers on most factors. The current macro regime is then overlaid to produce the regime-adjusted score lower on this page.

Every metric on this page is computed against Consumer Staples peers, not the whole market. A "cheap" P/E in tech isn't the same as a "cheap" P/E in utilities. Read the full methodology →
