TJX rises on strong fiscal Q1 numbers
With its Q1 report, TXJ served up another strong period of quarterly results. The company's earnings per share of $1.19 and revenue of roughly $14.3 billion came in significantly better than the average Wall Street analyst estimate. The company's earnings per share topped the average analyst forecast by roughly $0.19 per share, and the business delivered sales that came in $310 million above the average analyst forecast. TJX's sales growth came in above 9% year over year and far exceeded the average Wall Street forecast.
What's next for TJX?
TJX's fiscal Q1 revenue performance came in far stronger than anticipated, and the company benefited from strong same-store sales growth and the opening of new locations. On the other hand, the company's guidance for consolidated comparable sales outlook to increase between 3% and 4% on an annual basis suggests some deceleration as the year progresses. Based on strong gains for the stock today, investors may be betting that TJX is taking a conservative approach to forward guidance.
