Bargain Retail Is Gaining Momentum. Two Stocks to Consider in 2025.
Key Points Target stock is trading well off its previous peak and offering a high yield. TJX has mastered the off-price model, making it an excellent long-term investment. 10 stocks we like better than Target › Some discount retailers are seeing improving traffic and sales this year, as consumers are on the hunt for better value. Not all discount stores are experiencing this, but if this is the beginning of a broader shift in consumer behavior, it could be a great buying opportunity for investors looking for potentially undervalued stocks in the retail sector. Here are two stocks that could be timely buys right now. 1. Target Shares of Target (NYSE: TGT) have fallen about 61% from the previous peak in 2021. Several issues have contributed to the decline, including inventory loss from theft and weak same-store sales (comps). However, this is still one of the largest and most profitable discount retailers. Despite these problems, Target still generated more than $4 billion in net profit on $105 billion of revenue over the last year. The company just raised its quarterly dividend by 1.8%, marking 54 consecutive years of dividend increases. It also has plenty of headroom to maintain dividend increases, paying out less than half its trailing-12-month earnings. There are signs that Target's business will improve. It recently announced leadership changes to accelerate its growth strategy. The company's digital business is performing well, with consumers engaging more with same-day delivery services, which grew 35% last quarter. Total net sales were still down in the first quarter, but digital comps were up 4.7%, which should encourage the company to continue investing in this sales channel to drive more growth. Management also noted progress in mitigating the inventory problems that weighed on its profitability the past few years. Including the expected impact from tariffs, it expects full-year adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to be between $7 to $9 -- more than enough to cover the dividend. Target stock may remain volatile in the near term, but with the forward dividend yield sitting at 4.38%, and the forward price-to-earnings ratio down to 14 (toward the lower end of its three-year range), it could be close to bottoming out. 2. TJX Companies When consumers start looking for value, TJX Companies' (NYSE: TJX) off-price merchandise strategy is usually there to benefit. TJX has some of the top-performing discount apparel stores like T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and outdoor clothing specialist Sierra (along with HomeGoods and other brands). A $10,000 investment in the stock in 2005 would be worth $279,000 today, including dividends, and there are several reasons to expect the stock to keep growing in value. The company is in business to find deals on quality merchandise and to stock its stores with these gems at big discounts. It excels at this business model, with a global sourcing channel and sophisticated supply systems. With consumer confidence shaken in the first half of 2025 over uncertainty about the economy, every one of its segments -- including TJX Canada and TJX International -- posted a sales increase. TJX has successfully navigated several challenging economic environments over the last few decades. The best thing about this business is that it is positioned to grow sales whether the economy is booming or in a recession, thanks to its global buying infrastructure and the attractive deals it can offer. Management has maintained quarterly sales growth consistently over the last 25 years, with the only significant decline experienced during the pandemic in 2020. Another business practice that supports the retailer's growth prospects is its talent development program. TJX is known to promote managers from within its own ranks, which helps build a deep bench of talent that lends itself to consistent performance over the long term. The stock is not cheap, but it should deliver great returns. Management is seeing strong merchandise acquisition opportunities, as well as opportunities for market share growth worldwide in the off-price market. Should you invest $1,000 in Target right now?

Recession Indicators People Have Noticed
If you're feeling the pinch financially, you're not alone. With so much uncertainty in the air, many people are worried about the possibility of a recession. In the r/Millennials subreddit, u/Soup_stew_supremacy recently asked about "funny recession indicators," like skinny jeans and tall Uggs coming back into fashion this fall and winter. However, most redditors offered more serious responses to watch out for — perhaps an indicator in itself. Here's what they said: "Women not dyeing or highlighting their hair is a real indicator, from what I've read." "Read an article saying that there's no song of the summer for 2025 due to the economic environment. And of the top ten most-streamed songs this year, only one was released in 2025. People are supposedly returning to recession-era music as well." "Hot people in minimum wage jobs. I'm in a college town, so a lot of employees in retail/food service are good-looking, but I've seen quite a few really hot people working at McDonald's over the summer." "I was in Target the other day and noticed a lot of the women's clothing was becoming more drab in color and utilitarian in style. Lots of beige and denim in very simple cuts." "I'm in a transition point in my life. Biggest recession indicator of them all." "I've found newer restaurants are not busy, but more established restaurants are about the same. Shows that people are not taking as many risks with their money." "Kesha dropped [the song] 'Tik Tok' during a recession, and I'm afraid to tell y'all that she has dropped no fewer than two absolute bangers this year." "I work for the county's child services and support division. There's been a noticeable uptick in the number of people filing for divorce. Jobs go bad, stress increases, and marriages fail." "Concerts are not busy unless you're Morgan Wallen or Taylor Swift. Hotels and resorts not even half full." "I read yesterday that the most popular selling beer this summer is Miller High Life. Cheap as shit. This could be an indicator as well. I thought it was interesting at least." "In my social circle, half the couples have one person recently unemployed and getting NOWHERE on the job hunt. Pretty good indicator." "More car accidents. Bald tires." "The only thing you need to pay attention to is the male underwear index. Yes, it's a thing. Men stop buying undies when times are tight. Who's to see them?" "The 'we buy houses for cash' signs all over. I see commercials now, too. 'Any condition.'" And finally, "Strippers reporting smaller take-home tips." Know any other recession indicators?

3 Dividend Champion Stocks I'm Watching in 2025
Key Points AbbVie could be a great stock to buy on the dip if pharmaceutical tariffs cause the shares to fall. Oil price volatility could give investors a great buying opportunity with Chevron. Target could rebound, although the company faces multiple challenges. 10 stocks we like better than Target › What does it take to be a Dividend Champion? A company must increase its dividend for at least 25 consecutive years for its stock to make the list. Nearly 140 stocks meet the criteria right now. Just because a stock is a Dividend Champion doesn't mean it's an overall winner. However, some members of the group could be attractive to investors. Here are three Dividend Champion stocks I'm watching in 2025. 1. AbbVie AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) isn't just a Dividend Champion; it's a Dividend King. To join this elite group of stocks, a company must increase its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years. AbbVie has increased its dividend for 53 years in a row. And its payout is attractive, with a yield of 3.39%. I'm keeping my eye on AbbVie mainly to see how the stock responds to potential tariffs on pharmaceutical imports to the U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to levy steep pharmaceutical tariffs. I suspect that the stocks of major drugmakers will tumble if and when those tariffs are finalized. However, I think it would present a great buying opportunity if AbbVie's share price pulls back. TD Cowen analyst Steve Scala believes that the drugmaker would be less affected by those tariffs than many of its peers. I agree with that assessment. While the company has overseas manufacturing operations (primarily in Ireland), it also has an even greater domestic capacity. CEO Rob Michael noted in the May earnings call that its top-selling autoimmune disease drug Skyrizi is one example of a product made in the U.S. In the interim, AbbVie's business is rocking along nicely. The drugmaker beat Wall Street's estimates with its second-quarter results. It expects Skyrizi and Rinvoq to generate combined sales this year that exceed the peak annual sales for Humira, which ranked as the world's best-selling drug for several years before losing exclusivity in 2023. 2. Chevron Chevron (NYSE: CVX) isn't a Dividend King yet. However, it's a longtime Dividend Champion, with 38 consecutive years of payout increases to its credit. The oil stock remains a favorite for income investors with its forward yield of 4.5%. Two key things put Chevron on my radar screen. First, I've been interested in seeing how the acquisition of Hess would unfold. Second, I've wondered what would happen with oil prices this year -- and how the company's share price would be affected. After a legal skirmish with ExxonMobil, Chevron completed its acquisition of Hess on July 18. So far, the stock hasn't moved much on the news. As the company integrates Hess' operations, we may see a delayed impact. Oil prices are down somewhat so far this year. Chevron's shares have held up pretty well, though. If oil prices decline because of slower demand, the stock would likely fall in tandem. I view any sell-off as a buying opportunity for long-term investors, especially income investors seeking to lock in an even juicier yield. 3. Target Like AbbVie, Target (NYSE: TGT) is a Dividend King. The giant retailer has increased its payout for 54 consecutive years. Thanks mainly to its stock sinking over the last 12 months, the company's forward dividend yield of 4.5% is near its highest level ever. Why am I watching Target? I'm waiting for a turnaround. So far, it hasn't materialized. I suspect a comeback will eventually happen, although it might not be this year. Target faces multiple challenges. Some are largely outside of its control. For example, consumer confidence has declined with uncertainty about the impact of the Trump administration's tariffs. But other issues are the result of the company's own moves. In particular, Target continues to face a customer backlash after rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. On a positive note, the company continues to generate solid profits. Its stock is also valued attractively after the sell-off, with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 14.2. Should you invest $1,000 in Target right now?
