Ross Stores and TJX Thrive in Off-Price Market Amidst Consumer Caution

Ross Stores and TJX Companies have reported strong Q4 results, with Ross posting a 12% YoY revenue increase to $6.6 billion and a 9% surge in comparable-store sales. TJX saw a 5% increase in comparable sales and surpassed $60 billion in annual sales.
