Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 10 outcomes.

Why this matters:
The market is pricing a 88% probability that Target will achieve above 1% comparable sales growth in fiscal 2026. This reflects expectations for modest positive sales momentum in a competitive retail environment. The main drivers of this probability are Target's cost management initiatives and consumer discretionary spending patterns; downward pressure would come from prolonged economic weakness or inventory challenges. The key resolution point is Target's fiscal 2026 earnings report, scheduled for early 2027, when the company reports official comparable sales figures. Until then, quarterly same-store sales trends, consumer spending data, and retail sector performance will provide incremental signals about the likelihood this threshold is met.

Key factors:
- Target's Q1-Q3 fiscal 2026 comparable sales results and trend direction will directly indicate whether 1% annual growth remains achievable
- Consumer discretionary spending and wage growth data throughout 2026 affect foot traffic and transaction values at Target stores
- Quarterly earnings reports and management guidance updates provide interim signals before the final fiscal 2026 resolution in early 2027
- Competitive pressures from e-commerce and other retailers influence Target's market share and pricing power in discretionary categories
- Inventory management and promotional intensity affect both sales growth rates and profit margins during the measurement period

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
