Over the years, Dayton Hudson Corp. has proved itself one of the US' most competent merchandisers. While 1991 sales have increased, earnings in the first 9 months have dropped 38%, to $109 million, ...from $177 million in fiscal year 1990. Eventually the recession will end and retail sales will turn up again. When they do, few retailers will be in a better position than Dayton Hudson. Over the past 12 years, the company has evolved from a retail conglomerate with 14 divisions into a tightly focused strategic retailer with 3 divisions that neatly bracket the retailing spectrum: 1. department stores, 2. discount department stores, and 3. discount stores.

The Mervyn's stores may be the best part of Dayton Hudson, from the point of view of profitability and future potential.
