The TJX Companies operates a global network of off-price retail stores under brands including TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Sierra, HomeGoods, HomeSense, and TK Maxx. Its model is based on purchasing a constantly changing assortment of apparel and home goods from approximately 21 thousand vendors annually, then selling them at attractive values through a treasure-hunt shopping experience; more than 35% of the business comes from home categories, while the remaining sales are distributed among Marmaxx, TJX Canada, TJX International, and U.S. e-commerce platforms.
In Q2 of fiscal 2027, consolidated comparable sales grew 4% and net sales grew 5%, supported by a higher average basket and increased transactions. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 11% to $1.22, and the adjusted pretax profit margin reached 11.9%, up 50 basis points, while the adjusted gross profit margin increased 70 basis points to 31.4% due to an improved merchandise margin, particularly the favorable impact of lower tariff costs.
The segment mix in Q2 of fiscal 2027 revealed a clear divergence: comparable sales increased only 1% at Marmaxx, versus 7% at HomeGoods, 6% at TJX Canada, and 7% at TJX International. The adjusted segment profit margin was 14.2% at Marmaxx and 12.4% at HomeGoods, while on a constant-currency basis it reached 16.3% at TJX Canada and 7.3% at TJX International; thus, the strength of the three smaller divisions offset weakness in the company’s largest U.S. division.
The analyst consensus rates TJX stock a “Buy,” with an average target of $178.82 and a wide range of $155 to $198. The average target is approximately 5.2% above the 52-week range high of $170, while the lowest target falls within the 52-week range of $134.75–$170, reflecting meaningful variation in analysts’ assessments of the growth and margin trajectory. No price-to-earnings ratio is available in the data, so valuation risks remain tied to the breadth of the target range and the expected slowdown in growth in Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 2027 despite the raised annual outlook.

Consolidated comparable sales grew 4% and net sales grew 5% in Q2 of fiscal 2027, driven by a higher average basket and increased transactions. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 11% to $1.22, and the adjusted pretax profit margin reached 11.9%. The adjusted gross profit margin also increased 70 basis points to 31.4% due to an improved merchandise margin and lower tariff costs.
Comparable sales at Marmaxx increased only 1% in Q2 of fiscal 2027, versus 6% to 7% in the other three divisions. Management explained on August 19, 2026, that the reason was an inappropriate merchandise mix and a failure to place the right products in the right stores at the right time, describing it as an internal execution issue. Trends began improving in August 2026, and management expects greater improvement by the holiday selling season in Q4 of fiscal 2027.
The company expects annual sales of $63.4 billion to $63.8 billion, up 5% to 6%, and comparable sales growth of 3% to 4%. It raised its adjusted diluted earnings per share outlook to $5.15–$5.20, representing growth of 9% to 10%, and raised the adjusted pretax profit margin range to 12.0%–12.1%. However, for Q3 of fiscal 2027, it expects comparable sales growth of 2% to 3% and adjusted earnings per share of $1.30 to $1.32.

On August 19, 2026, TJX raised its estimate of long-term capacity by 500 stores to 7,500 stores across its current brands in ten countries. This includes the potential for TJ Maxx and Marshalls together to reach 3,300 stores and the HomeGoods division to reach 2,000 stores. The company also plans to increase annual unit growth from 3% to 4% beginning in the year following fiscal 2027, benefiting from small stores, rural markets, and dense urban areas.
HomeGoods achieved comparable sales growth of 7% in Q2 of fiscal 2027, with a higher average basket and increased transactions. The segment profit margin expanded 240 basis points to 12.4% due to sales growth, operating efficiency, and an improved merchandise margin. Sources of strength include recurring consumables, décor, lighting, and kitchenware, and the brand also recorded more than 300 million paid video views in H1 of fiscal 2027.
The company expects the adjusted gross profit margin for Q3 of fiscal 2027 to decline to 32.1%–32.2%, or 40 to 50 basis points below the prior year. The pressure is primarily related to higher fuel and freight costs and reduced truck driver availability, after H1 benefited from favorable movements in tariff costs and transportation hedges. The company also expects the adjusted pretax profit margin to decline 30 to 40 basis points in Q3 and 20 to 30 basis points in Q4 of fiscal 2027.
