Upturn Advisory & Investor View for TJX

10/23/2026: TJX (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

The TJX Companies Inc is a leading off-price retailer known for its successful 'treasure hunt' shopping experience across the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods banners. The company has a leading position in its niche, supported by a resilient business model that historically performs well through diverse economic conditions. Its primary growth story revolves around continued store expansion and international market penetration. Key risks include intense competition from other discounters, potential supply chain disruptions, and the challenge of scaling a complex, inventory-intensive business. As a stable compounder with a history of dividend growth, the stock may appeal to value and income-oriented investors monitoring store productivity and margin health.

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 0.16%.

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 95.4% and approximately 99.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.16%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

★★★★★
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.
