The Dayton Company opened the first Target discount store in Roseville, Minnesota in 1962, the same year Walmart and Kmart began, and the parent later took the store's name. Positioning has been cheap chic: design collaborations and private labels that give a discounter better margins than commodity groceries. A 2013 breach exposed roughly 40 million payment cards and became a case study in retail security, and the 2015 Canadian exit cost billions. Same-day fulfillment through Shipt and store-based pickup carry current strategy. Headquarters are in Minneapolis.

Target equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge TGT stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and TGT's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current TGT option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Target grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Target typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Target RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Target restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
