Retail Store Industry • The current economic scenario is working to the advantage of discounters, and we look for solid top- and bottom-line momentum at the two leading players, Wal-Martand Target. • Wal-Martand Target’snear-term earnings prospects have been enhanced by Kmart’s bankruptcy filing.

Target’s price is in the buy zone. • Target may have a problem with debt.
