S&P 500 component TJX is Tuesday's IBD Stock Of The Day as the retailer appears unaffected by President Donald Trump's ongoing trade negotiations, rebounding from a key support level Monday and advancing toward buy points in Tuesday's stock market action.
The multinational retail operator, which owns TJ Maxx and Marshalls, edged higher Tuesday even as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other major stock indexes traded mixed, as China retaliated modestly against President Trump's tariff hike.
TJX is an off-price apparel and home goods retailer, getting most of its merchandise from other chains.
TJX closes the book on its fiscal 2025 at the end of February with analysts expecting profit to grow 8% to $4.19 with revenue increasing 3.6%, according to FactSet. The company expects full-fiscal year EPS of $4.15-$4.17. TJX also forecasts comparable sales for 3% growth.
On Nov. 20 TJX reported better-than-expected financials with an 11% increase in Q3 2025 earnings while net sales increased 6%.
Consolidated comparable sales for the quarter rose 3% to match analyst views. Same store sales for TJX International increased 7%.
"Across the company, customer transactions drove our comp sales increases, which tells us that our values and treasure-hunt shopping experience are appealing to a wide range of customers," Chief Executive Ernie Herrman said at the time.
TJX Stock Performance
Shares of TJX gained 0.7% to 125.19 during stock market action on Tuesday. TJX stock retreated about 0.4% on Monday, but slashed losses after falling to its 50-day moving average intraday as Trump's tariff policy rattled the stock market.
The S&P 500 stock is currently in a flat base with a traditional 128 buy point, according to MarketSurge chart analysis. Shares are about 2% below that entry. Aggressive investors could use last week's high of 126.48 as an early entry.
The TJX relative strength line has risen since late January, but has not outperformed for quite some time. The relative strength compares a stock's price action to that of the S&P 500. A rising line means the stock is outperforming the benchmark index. The S&P 500 component advanced 29% in 2024 and is up around 3% so far in 2025.
Among other retailers, Bath & Body Works popped 2% on Tuesday, nearing a buy point. Macy's fell 1%.
Burlington was little changed after a recent tumble. Kohl's gained 1.8% but is near long-term lows.
TJX has a 93 Composite Rating out of a best-possible 99. The S&P 500 stock also has an 82 Relative Strength Rating and an 89 EPS Rating.
