Better Buy: Costco Wholesale Corporation vs. Target
Costco (NASDAQ: COST) and Target (NYSE: TGT) are among the nation's biggest retailers. And given the customer traffic slowdown that's pinching the industry today, both companies have been posting unusually weak operating results lately.
The good news for investors is that the business slump pushed shares lower this year even as the broader market has rallied. That underperformance might set the stage for higher long-term returns -- but which retailer looks like the stronger bet today?
