TJX Companies Surges to 38th in Trading Volume with $15.46 Billion Turnover Despite Stock Decline

The TJX Companies, Inc. (TJX) experienced a significant increase in trading volume on May 21, 2025, with a turnover of $15.46 billion, marking a 62.26% rise from the previous day. This surge placed TJX at the 38th position in terms of trading volume for the day. However, the stock price declined by 2.89%, marking the second consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 2.96% over the past two days.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, TJX reported a net income of $1.0 billion, with diluted earnings per share at $0.92, slightly lower than the $0.93 reported in the same period of Fiscal 2025. The company's comparable sales grew by 3% across all divisions, and earnings per share for the quarter exceeded guidance at $0.92. Additionally, TJX returned a total of $1.0 billion to shareholders, repurchasing 5.1 million shares of its stock.

Despite the strong first-quarter results, TJX's stock price fell due to a weak second-quarter outlook. The company forecasted that tariffs would negatively impact its business, leading to lower-than-expected revenue, earnings per share, and comparable sales for the second quarter. However, TJX maintained its fiscal 2026 projections of a 2% to 3% increase in comparable sales and earnings per share of $4.34 to $4.43.
