ANDDD the tariffs are in!

And then, suddenly, Trump seems confused as he expands products exempt from tariffs. It’s like the whole world is now in his schizophrenic episode.

The US markets reflect that.

Do you know what’s surprising now? People are talking about recession now … for real. The Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts didn’t even put a dent in the US economy and market.

But Trump certainly can.

There are already a couple of signs that this might be happening

1. Atlanta Fed’s economic model projects a decline in 1Q 2025.

2. Consumer confidence index declined to 98.3 points in February 2025.

Brace yourself for a bumpy ride in the coming months.

This week was an interesting one. Many of the retail companies in the US reported their financial results and flagged that Trump’s tariffs would weaken their businesses.

And an idea hit me.

This could be a good opportunity to look at US retail stocks for any potential cheap bargains.

I used SimplyWallSt to look at Target’s valuation. And it was quite easy to understand.

Target is potentially 48.7% undervalued, with 32 analysts covering the company. This valuation was done with a discounted cash flow method, so in my opinion, it’s better than using the price-to-earnings ratio.
