Seeking Alpha analyst Amrita Roy [https://seekingalpha.com/article/4829847-target-buyout-buzz-is-a-buzzkill-rating-downgrade] downgraded TGT to Hold, reporting that macro and competitive headwinds could put downward pressure on top and bottom lines. The slower growth relative to competition and tough retail conditions justify caution despite undervaluation.
