Better Buy: Costco vs. Target
The chances are good that the kinds of consumers that have Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) memberships also likely maker visits to a Target (NYSE: TGT) store on occasion. Both are discount retailers that cater to shoppers looking for a deal. They are both general merchandise retailers, although Costco's focus is more on bulk items and specialty food products, while Target is more of a curated discount department store that customizes somewhat based on location.
Both companies have done well over the past few years and each posted spectacular earnings results during the pandemic. Clearly, they have a lot of similarities and a few differences.
But for investors, which one is the better buy?
