The S&P 500 Entered a Correction Last Week. 2 Winning Stocks to Buy While They’re Still on Sale todayheadline

Following on the heels of the Nasdaq Composite, the S&P 500 entered a correction last week, meaning the broad-market index fell at least 10% from its recent peak.

That sell-off has come amid concerns about weakening consumer sentiment, an intensifying trade war, and the prospect of rising inflation returning. After the market seemed to initially cheer the election of President Donald Trump, it quickly reversed course, and the S&P 500 fell to its lowest level in six months.

That news is sparking concern about a further sell-off. But there are also a number of stocks trading at a discount, offering a good buying opportunity right now. Let’s talk about two of them below.

1. Target

Target (TGT 0.11%) stock has fallen in the recent correction, but it’s been struggling for a while, and is down more than 50% over the last three years. General weakness in consumer discretionary spending has weighed on the stock, along with internal issues like inventory management and a spike in theft. Additionally, while the company is a national multicategory retailer like Walmart and Costco Wholesale, it’s underperformed those peers because it makes most of its revenue from discretionary categories, rather than from groceries like Walmart and Costco.

However, Target is now close to as cheap as it’s been in the last 10 years, trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 12. And it offers a current dividend yield of 4.2%.

Target’s guidance for 2025 wasn’t particularly encouraging and seemed to reflect the general malaise around consumer sentiment. For the current year, management forecast flat comparable-sales growth, and net sales growth of 1%. It also sees flat growth in adjusted earnings per share, to between $8.80 and $8.90.

Despite that weakness, Target still has fundamental strengths. It has a unique retail brand, known for “cheap chic” fashions and designer collaborations. It has a growing stable of owned brands, and at least 10 generate more than $1 billion each in revenue per year. Target also has an attractive suite of same-day fulfillment services; these include Drive Up (curbside) pickup, which complements its diverse and nationwide store base well, and Shipt, its same-day delivery service.

Target also announced bold goals for 2030 in its recent earnings report. It called for total sales growth of more than $15 billion, driven in part by a focus on categories like gaming, sports and toys. It also plans to introduce new owned-brands products, and has announced partnerships with brands like Champion, Disney, and Warby Parker.

Target is valued like a declining retailer at this point, but the company should get back to steady growth, especially if consumer sentiment strengthens. At the current valuation, even a modest improvement in performance could give a significant boost to the stock. Target is a good bet for a recovery from here.

2. Shopify

Staying in the retail and e-commerce sector, Shopify (SHOP 6.71%) also seems more attractive after the recent correction. In fact, shares of the e-commerce software company are now down 27% from their peak just a month ago, on the broader pullback around concerns about consumer sentiment and economic growth.

That makes sense: Shopify is a high-priced stock. Its business is sensitive to consumer spending and the broader economy. It relies on merchants paying for subscriptions, and then collects a portion of sales on its platform by processing payments.

However, Shopify has delivered phenomenal results in recent quarters in spite of the broader weakness in consumer discretionary spending. In the fourth quarter of 2024, revenue jumped 31% to $2.81 billion, on a 26% increase in gross merchandise value (GMV) to $94.5 billion. Shopify’s platform is outgrowing Amazon in GMV growth, showing the power of enabling any company of any size to seamlessly do business through e-commerce.

Shopify also continues to invest in new technology like artificial intelligence (AI), paving the way for future growth. Shopify Magic, for example, offers an image-editing tool that allows users to easily adjust the background of a product photo. It can also improve product descriptions and suggest FAQs for a seller’s website.

Shopify expects its momentum to continue into 2025, calling for a revenue growth percentage in the mid-20s and free cash flow (FCF) margin in the mid-teens.

After the recent sell-off, the stock now trades at a more reasonable valuation: Its price-to-sales ratio is around 14 and its P/E ratio less than 100, excluding gains on equity investments.

While a recession would be a setback for Shopify, the company still looks poised for success over the long term. It’s a good buy in the sell-off.
