Upturn Advisory & Investor View for TJX

10/09/2026: TJX (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

The TJX Companies, Inc. is a prominent global off-price retailer known for its successful store-based model and vast network of brand-name merchandise. The company has a leading position in the industry, supported by a highly effective supply chain and a 'treasure hunt' shopping environment that consistently attracts cost-conscious consumers. Its primary growth opportunity lies in further international expansion and the strengthening of its digital presence. Risks include potential competition from online-first discount retailers and the constant pressure of managing complex global inventory. The stock may suit investors seeking long-term stability and consistent dividend growth, though they should monitor store performance and evolving consumer shopping trends closely.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
TJX receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
TJX has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, solid earnings growth (+13.0%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.1%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+7.1%), soft profitability (net margin 9.1%), very low insider ownership of 0.15%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
TJX's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $4.9B (8.1% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is TJX's strongest growth driver at +17.1% FY2026 versus FY2025 (solid, 4 stars). Revenue growth (+7.1%, moderate) and earnings growth (+13.0%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 94.9% and approximately 99.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.15%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

State Street Corp 4.52%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 2.63%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 2.43%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
TJX generates approximately $310 of gross profit, $119 of operating income, and $81 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Soft margins and moderate cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is strong.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 24.73%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
TJX has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
