Target Corp. struck out over the holidays, but the two biggest kids on the retail block have yet to come to the plate.

Amazon.com Inc. and Walmart Inc., the dominant players by far in store-based and internet retailing in the U.S., will disclose their full fourth-quarter results on Jan. 30 and Feb. 18, respectively. While Amazon said Dec. 26 that it had a “record breaking” holiday season, it didn’t provide specifics.
