Target (TGT) is, overall, a well-run company with a straightforward business model. It would be a smart move to buy them at a discount because either they continue to expand into other markets and/or they could sold to the likes of Walmart or Amazon sometime in the future.

Improvements: They do need to move more towards an online/in-store-equivalency platform model like Walmart, maybe with a handheld scanner self-checkout and loss-prevention AI. Heck, skip the stores entirely with delivery only-sales might be a better idea to eliminate shrinkage.

I can't see WB buying any other companies on the list besides GE or 3M because it's not clear the others are diversified, defensible, undisruptable and simple enough.
