TJX Companies (ISIN US8725401090) closed at USD 127.24 on the NYSE on September 18, 2026, leaving the stock 25.15 percent below its 52-week high of USD 170.00. The latest quarterly figures show revenue of USD 15.2 billion in Q2 FY2027, while comparable sales increased 4 percent year over year.

Revenue grows but segments diverge

According to IT BOLTWISE on September 22, 2026, TJX reported USD 15.2 billion in Q2 FY2027 revenue, USD 20 million above consensus. The 4 percent comparable-sales increase was supported by 7 percent growth at HomeGoods and in the international business, while TJX Canada advanced 6 percent.

The main counter-factor was Marmaxx, the largest division, where comparable sales rose only 1 percent in Q2 FY2027. That gap matters because the group result was carried by faster-growing units rather than by a uniform acceleration across the portfolio.

Costs challenge the earnings narrative

Adjusted selling, general and administrative costs increased by 20 basis points year over year in Q2 FY2027, with higher wages and personnel expenses identified as the main drivers by IT BOLTWISE. For an off-price retailer, the comparison between sales growth and labor costs is central because store productivity depends on staffing, merchandise rotation and customer traffic.

Estimate revisions still point to growth. The source reported that fiscal 2027 earnings estimates increased by USD 0.04 to USD 5.22 per share in the 30 days through September 21, 2026, while fiscal 2028 estimates rose by USD 0.04 to USD 5.74 per share. The projected growth rate was 10.4 percent for fiscal 2027 versus 9.9 percent for fiscal 2028.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The share-price comparison is more cautious than the operating data. TJX closed at USD 127.24 on September 18, 2026, against a 52-week high of USD 170.00, a gap of USD 42.76 or 25.15 percent. The same report said Jefferies cut its price target from USD 180.00 to USD 145.00 and lowered its rating to Hold on August 26, 2026.

For investors, the central question is whether the 4 percent comparable-sales increase can broaden beyond the 1 percent Marmaxx result while the 20-basis-point cost increase is contained. TJX also has a measurable expansion runway: Zacks reported on September 21, 2026, that the company had 5,285 stores and raised its global store potential by 500 locations to 7,500.
