Description

This essay sheds light on how Amazon became a highly profitable company, identifies the critical success factors behind TargetÕs success as a highly profitable retailer, demystifies TargetÕs growth strategies for long term revenue growth, and reveals the future outlook of Target in the digital era. Amid the early 1990s, Target achieved the ineffably stupendous feat of becoming a highly profitable company. Target was able to become a highly profitable company for a multitude of reasons. Target has become the second largest retailer in the United States and is slated to become more profitable in the coming years. ÒTargetÕs net income for the twelve months ending July 31, 2021 was $6,308,000,000, a 79.1% increase year-over-yearÓ. Moreover,ÓTargetÕs revenue for the twelve months ending July 31, 2021 was $100,328,000, a 18.52% increase year-over-yearÓ. Target has become a highly profitable company in the digital era to the extend of being able to exceed $6,300,000,000 Òin net income for the twelve months ending July 31, 2021Ó. Target has been able to generate significantly more net income per store than Walmart. ÒEven though Walmart operates approximately 10,500 stores and clubs under 48 banners in 24 countries and eCommerce websitesÓ, ÒWalmartÕs net income for the twelve months ending July 31, 2021 was $10,050,000,000Ó. Even though Target currently has only has 1,914 stores in the United States which is less than one fifth of the amount of stores and clubs that Walmart has, ÒTargetÕs net income for the twelve months ending July 31, 2021 was $6,308,000,000Ó which is ultimately almost 63% the amount that WalmartÕs net income was during the same time period from Òthe twelve months ending July 31, 2021Ó. If Target had as many retail stores as Walmart then it would be apt to generate far more net income than Walmart. If Target for instance could for instance earn an average net income of $3,295,715.77 per store and expanded to having 10,500 stores in order to have as more retail stores as Walmart has retail stores and clubs, then Target would earn at least $34,605,015,673.9 in net income which indeed is a far cry from WalmartÕs $10,050,000,000 in net income that was generate primarily from its stores and clubs Òin twelve months ending July 31, 2021Ó. There is however no guarantee that Target would be able to generate at least $34,605,015,673.9 in net income even if Target had as many retail stores as Walmart has retail stores and clubs.
