Target Stock at $165: Here's Why Investors Should Pause.

Target stock has surged 79% over the past 12 months to $165 per share, driven by CEO Michael Fidelke's successful turnaround efforts including improved merchandising and digital initiatives. However, the analyst warns that most gains have come from valuation expansion rather than earnings growth, with the P/E ratio rising 59% in the past year. At current levels, the stock lacks a margin of safety for new investors, suggesting the easy gains have already occurred.
