Data availability
Officer information for TARGET CORPORATION is classified as Partial. The company’s SEC filings disclose only its most senior executive officers and non-executive directors, with appointment dates but not always a full appointment history; a broader officer population (for example, corporate-secretary or vice-president-level roles reported on Minnesota state filings) may exist but was not independently re-verified for this profile, and appears to reflect an older snapshot than the company’s current SEC disclosures. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed for any officer in the sources reviewed and are not stated here.

Group Structure
TARGET CORPORATION is a publicly traded, independent parent company; no immediate or ultimate parent has been identified in either the Zavia registry data or Target Corporation’s own SEC filings. Its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange, and the company sits at the top of its own corporate group rather than beneath another entity. Exhibit 21.1 to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 January 2026 names three significant direct subsidiaries, all incorporated in Minnesota: Target Brands, Inc., Target Enterprise, Inc. and Target General Merchandise, Inc. The exhibit does not disclose ownership percentages for these entities, and other subsidiaries exist but are not individually named because, in aggregate, they do not meet the SEC’s definition of a significant subsidiary. Separately, Target Corporation announced on 13 December 2017 that it had agreed to acquire Shipt, Inc., a same-day delivery platform, which became a wholly owned subsidiary continuing to operate under its own brand.
