Across its top 20 institutional holders, TGT's holder base skews toward low-concentration, low-turnover investors on average (avg. concentration score 5/100, avg. turnover score 41/100).

Institutions accumulate heavily while insiders sell — signals diverge
Signal Basis
13F filings show institutions net accumulated $18.78B in TGT, with 936 net buyers vs 833 net sellers and 201 new positions vs 142 exits — a clear institutional bid. However, insider activity is entirely one-directional: zero insider buys in the past 90 days against 4 sell transactions totaling ~$11.9M, with CEO Brian Cornell selling $8.18M on August 25 alone, suggesting insiders are taking the opposite side of the trade.
Confirmation
Continued institutional net buying in the next 13F cycle combined with a cessation of insider selling or appearance of insider purchases would confirm the bullish institutional thesis.
Invalidation Risk
If insider selling accelerates or additional senior executives begin liquidating, the divergence would tilt bearish despite institutional support.

See the institutional 13F filings behind this signalTGT does not currently show a 13F-and-insider convergence signal — its insider confidence score is 0/100, below the threshold this product uses to flag combined buying pressure.
13F data as of 2026-06-30 quarterly filings. Note: many large institutions file close to the 45-day post-quarter deadline, so early-quarter flow figures can shift substantially as more filings arrive.
