TJX Companies' Shareholder Returns Outpace Earnings Growth Over Five Years

TJX Companies' five-year earnings growth of 49% trails the 19% YoY shareholder returns. The stock is up 125% in five years, but the EPS growth is more impressive than the yearly share price gain of 18%. The company's TSR for the last 5 years was 142%, exceeding the share price return due to dividends. The recent total shareholder return of 25% over the last year suggests some real business momentum.
