TJX Raises Fiscal 2027 Outlook as Q2 Results Show Broad-Based Growth
TJX raised its fiscal 2027 profit and earnings outlook after Q2 results exceeded expectations. Adjusted earnings rose 11% to $1.22 per share, and net sales increased 5% to $15.18 billion. Management also increased its long-term store target. Marmaxx, the largest division, showed the weakest growth at 1%, while other divisions performed better.
