Target’s recent investment community meeting was an opportunity for the company to celebrate its success in delivering 11 straight quarters of comp growth following a challenging few quarters in 2016 and 2017.

• Leveraging its Shipt acquisition to up not only its own delivery game but also to drive revenues by providing delivery services for other retailers—including some competitors.
