Contrarian view: $MRNA raises equity in next week. Bullish. No equity raise in the next 2-3 weeks? Very bearish.

$WMT talking about investing heavily to lower prices with the bulk hitting at the end of Q2 and the real impact to be seen in Q3 and Q4....how is that not a negative for $TGT? Consumer incremental weaker according to wmt mgmt and while TGT has stepped over low comps, and created some traction with new assortment at current prices (17x next year on 3% growth and actually declining earnings yoy) very difficult to argue Target is cheap and isn't going to be threatened by new price competition for tighter wallets across WMT and TJX
