Over three quarters of TJX's sales are derived from the United States, primarily via the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods banners.

The TJX Companies Stock Performance
The TJX Companies, Inc. has experienced notable downward pressure across multiple timeframes, with shares trading at $131.64, per SID market data. Over the past month, the stock has declined 6.48%, while the three-month return shows a steeper loss of 20.33%. On a trailing twelve-month basis, TJX has fallen 15.15%, underperforming the broader consumer cyclical sector. Technically, the stock trades well below both its 50-day moving average of $144.11 and its 200-day moving average of $153.39, indicating sustained bearish momentum according to Massive/Polygon data. However, the 14-day RSI reading of 50.7 suggests the stock is in neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold. TJX carries a beta of 0.762, reflecting lower volatility relative to the broader market. Average daily trading volume stands at approximately 5.2 million shares, supporting adequate liquidity for institutional participants. The current market capitalization is approximately $173.2 billion.
The TJX Companies Valuation Analysis
TJX currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 34.22, reflecting a premium valuation relative to the broader consumer cyclical sector, per SID market data. The PEG ratio stands at an elevated 11.61, suggesting the current earnings multiple significantly exceeds the company's expected growth rate, according to SEC filings. The price-to-book ratio of 18.72 further underscores the premium investors are paying relative to the company's net asset value, a characteristic common among asset-light retail models with high return on equity. TJX offers a modest dividend yield of approximately 1.06%, providing limited income support for shareholders. These valuation metrics indicate the market continues to price in TJX's off-price retail competitive advantages, including its flexible buying model and global store footprint. However, the elevated PEG ratio raises questions about whether current multiples are sustainable given the pace of earnings growth embedded in forward estimates.
Smart Money Activity for TJX
Smart money indicators for TJX present a mixed picture, with an overall smart money score of 59 out of 100, signaling a neutral positioning stance, per SID market data. Institutional ownership strength scores a perfect 25 out of 25, reflecting robust confidence from large asset managers and mutual funds as documented in 13F institutional filings. Insider activity scores 12.5 out of 25, indicating moderate but unremarkable transaction levels among company executives and directors according to SEC Form 4 filings. Congressional trading activity registers at 12.8 out of 25, showing middling interest from lawmakers with disclosed positions. The dark pool activity score of 8.5 out of 25 stands out as notably low, suggesting limited off-exchange block trading activity in recent periods. The divergence between strong institutional conviction and weak dark pool activity may indicate that large holders are maintaining existing positions rather than actively accumulating or distributing shares. Overall, the neutral composite score suggests no decisive directional bias from sophisticated market participants at current price levels.
The TJX Companies Earnings Outlook
The TJX Companies has delivered a consistent streak of earnings beats across its four most recent quarters, according to company earnings reports. In the most recent quarter reported on August 19, 2026, TJX posted earnings per share of $1.22 versus the consensus estimate of $1.19, a positive surprise of $0.03. The prior quarter saw a more substantial beat, with actual EPS of $1.19 compared to the $1.00 estimate, representing a 19% upside surprise. The February 2026 quarter produced EPS of $1.43 against estimates of $1.38, while the December 2025 quarter delivered $1.28 versus the $1.23 consensus, per analyst estimates. This pattern of consistent outperformance demonstrates management's ability to exceed market expectations through disciplined inventory management and cost controls. The strongest seasonal quarter remains the holiday period ending in February, where EPS of $1.43 represented the highest absolute earnings among the four reported periods.
Wall Street Analyst Ratings for TJX
Wall Street coverage of TJX reflects a generally constructive but increasingly cautious outlook, per SID consensus data. The most notable recent action came from Jefferies on August 26, 2026, which downgraded the stock from Buy to Hold, representing a meaningful shift in sentiment from the firm, according to Wall Street analyst reports. Following the August 20 earnings release, several firms maintained their existing ratings: Wells Fargo reiterated its Equal-Weight rating, while Barclays held its Overweight stance. BTIG reiterated its Buy rating, and UBS also maintained its Buy recommendation. The Jefferies downgrade stands as the sole negative revision among recent coverage updates, with three of the five latest ratings carrying bullish or overweight designations. The divergence between Jefferies' more cautious positioning and the continued bullish stance from UBS and BTIG highlights a developing debate among analysts about whether TJX's premium valuation remains justified given the stock's 20.33% decline over the trailing three-month period.
