Executive Summary
Six institutional investors accumulated $99.4M in TGT during Q3 2026, with three funds doubling or more their positions, while only one active value manager trimmed by $8.1M. The cluster is dominated by asset managers making large conviction bets, suggesting a shared thesis around Target's value or turnaround potential.
