Analysts highlight TJX’s consistent ability to exceed earnings estimates, supported by a positive Zacks Earnings ESP of +1.13% and a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Historical data shows the company has outperformed consensus estimates by an average of 4.13% in the past two quarters, with a favorable trend of analyst revisions indicating improved near-term earnings expectations.

Additional support for TJX comes from UBS, which reaffirmed a Buy rating, citing projected gains in department store market share and onshoring trends. The company’s off-price retail model, anchored by brands like T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods, benefits from resilient consumer demand and a $56.99 billion revenue base. Recent same-store sales growth of 4.4% over two years underscores its competitive advantage in brick-and-mortar retail.
