Cara A Sylvester sold 10,000 shares of TARGET CORP at $125.89 on 2026-05-29 for $1,258,905.00

Sylvester sold 10,000 shares at $125.89, reducing her holdings from 55,930 shares to 45,930 shares. The current price of $123.71 sits -7.0% from the 52-week high of $133.10, and the stock is down 4.0% over the past 30 days. The sale occurred as TARGET's annual revenue growth declined -1.7% year-over-year, with net income of $689,000,000.00 on $25,270,000,000.00 in quarterly revenue. This modest liquidation by an executive officer warrants baseline investor attention to confirm whether it reflects routine rebalancing or a broader shift in management sentiment regarding the company's near-term outlook.

Significance 5

Brian C Cornell sells 50,000 TGT shares for $6,492,622.60; holdings fall to 193,270 post-sale.

Brian C Cornell, Executive Officer at Target Corp, executed 2 separate sales totaling 50,000 shares for $6,492,622.60 on 2026-05-27, reducing his holdings by 20.6% to 193,270 shares. At his cross-ticker track record, 7 prior sells averaged a 90-day return of -6.3% with a 66.67% well-timed rate; however, at TGT specifically, his 5 prior sales show mixed timing outcomes (3 of 5 well-timed at the 90-day mark), with the most recent sale on 2026-03-10 followed by 90-day returns of +5.4%. The current stock price of $128.65 is -3.3% from the 52-week high of $133.10, while quarterly net income of $689,000,000.00 and annual revenue growth of -1.7% suggest modest profitability amid top-line pressure. The scale and consistency of this open-market sale warrant observation of subsequent price action relative to the blended transaction price of $129.85.

Cornell Brian C sold 45,000 shares (45.0K shares) at $96.18 on 2025-05-28, reducing his holdings by -15.4% to 246,453 shares. The current price of $94.01 reflects a -41.5% decline from the 52-week high of $160.69 and a -24.3% drop over the past 90 days.

The fundamental picture remains challenged, with annual revenue growth at -0.8% and a P/E of 10.21 in a market-cap context of $42.7B. This sale occurs amid significant stock price deterioration, with measurable prior outcomes at this ticker supporting a pattern of selling ahead of declines.

Cornell Brian C, an Executive Officer, sold 45,000 shares (45.0K shares) of TARGET CORP at $113.37 on 2025-03-11, reducing his holdings by 14.8% to 258,843 shares (258.8K shares). The sale occurred when the stock was trading -39.7% below its 52-week high of $177.82, and the stock has declined -18.3% in the prior 30 days and -20.7% over 90 days. Across his open-market history at all tickers, Cornell's 4 prior sells averaged -3.0% returns over 30 days and -9.7% over 90 days, with a 66.67% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark; at this ticker specifically, 2 of 3 prior measurable sales resulted in negative 90-day returns, suggesting a pattern of selling before downturns. The sale coincides with a marked contraction in stock price and occurs against a backdrop of flat annual revenue growth (-0.8%), a modest P/E of 12.07, and a recent quarterly net income of $854.0M on $25.7B in revenue, indicating the insider disposed of a meaningful position during a prolonged decline without any fundamental catalyst evident in the latest earnings.

Significance 6

Cornell (Exec Officer) sold 45,000 TGT shares at $158.67 on 2024-08-27 for $7.1M, retaining 303.8K shares.

Cornell sold 45,000 shares (12.9% reduction in holdings) at $158.67, a price 1.2 percentage points above the current market price of $156.86 and near the 52-week high of $177.82. Examining his same-ticker history at TGT, 2 of 2 prior measurable sells resulted in negative 90-day returns (-12.8% on 2024-03-11 and -0.6% on 2023-08-18), indicating a pattern of well-timed exits. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% 90-day well-timed rate across all prior sells, though sample size is limited. The current sale occurred after a 30-day rally (+6.8%) and while TGT trades 11.8% below its 52-week high, suggesting execution near a local peak. Fundamental context shows flat annual revenue growth (-1.6%) and a P/E of 17.51, warranting close attention to whether this sale reflects forward-looking reservations or simply capital reallocation.
