Two Retail Stocks: A Strategic Gamble

Yet, beneath the surface, there are glimmers of resilience. Lululemon, for all its pretensions, remains a global brand with a fanbase as loyal as it is expensive. Target, despite its stumbles, has begun to flex its digital muscles, and its advertising division seems to be gaining traction.

The data center revenue from Blackwell surged 17% in the latest quarter. And Nvidia’s stock? It too has followed the wind’s course, climbing 40% in 2025 alone.
