Halftime Report

Time to sell Target?

It has been a bull's-eye year for Target. The second-largest discount retailer in the U.S. has rallied more than 12% year-to-date.

Despite those gains, Barclays downgraded Target from Overweight to Underweight and cut the price target from $90 to $70. In a research note, the firm cited substantial pressure within e-commerce.

The Halftime Report experts believe Barclays' missed the mark on Target and disagree with the call.

‘Ludicrous’ downgrade on Target?

This call is ludicrous, according to Pete Najarian. "This seems absolutely nuts to me. Management is unbelievable and Target is so strong in this environment," he said.

Joe Terranova believes Target will top $100 before it hits $70. Terranova wouldn't be a seller here.

Tailwinds are favorable here, said Sarat Sethi. "The consumer has more money in their wallet and will spend more money," Sethi added.
