The off-price retailer posted earnings per share of $1.19, clearing the $1.00 consensus estimate by 19.00%, while revenue of $14.32 billion topped the $14.01 billion forecast by 2.26% and grew 9.2% year over year. The headline driver was a broad-based surge in comparable sales, up 6% consolidated, with HomeGoods leading all divisions at 9% comps and every segment reporting higher customer transaction counts, a signal that shoppers are leaning into value-focused retail. Pretax profit margin expanded 1.7 percentage points to 12.0%, fueled largely by a 1.8 percentage point improvement in gross margin to 31.3%, as higher merchandise margins and favorable hedges amplified the benefit of above-plan sales. Net income climbed to $1.33 billion from $1.04 billion a year ago. Looking ahead, management raised its full-year diluted EPS outlook to $5.08 to $5.15 and guided Q2 EPS of $1.15 to $1.17, though it stopped short of flowing through the full Q1 upside, citing expected fuel cost headwinds for the remainder of the year.
Key Takeaways
- • 6% consolidated comparable sales growth, well above plan
- • Increase in merchandise margin driving gross profit margin expansion of 1.8 percentage points
- • Favorable inventory and fuel hedges
- • Expense leverage on above-plan sales
- • All divisions delivered strong comparable sales growth and increases in customer transactions
- • HomeGoods led comps at +9%, followed by TJX Canada at +7%, Marmaxx at +6%, and TJX International at +4%
TJX Forward Guidance & Outlook
For Q2 FY27, TJX expects consolidated comparable sales up 2% to 3%, pretax profit margin of 11.4% to 11.5%, and diluted EPS of $1.15 to $1.17. For full year FY27, the company raised its outlook: consolidated comparable sales growth of 3% to 4%, pretax profit margin of 11.9% to 12.0%, and diluted EPS of $5.08 to $5.15. The company increased its share buyback guidance to $2.75 to $3.0 billion. Management noted it is not flowing through the entirety of Q1 above-plan performance to full-year guidance, as it now assumes higher fuel costs will be unfavorable to pretax profit margin and EPS for the remainder of the year.
