7 Retail Stocks to Buy for a Back-to-School Surge - 4 of 7

 
 

#4 - TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX)

Anecdotal evidence isn’t the best reason to own a stock, but it’s hard to deny the brand loyalty that consumers have with TJX Companies Inc. (NYSE: TJX). The company is the parent of many brands, most notably TJMaxx, a favorite of Millennial and Gen-Z consumers. The store is known for its treasure hunt appeal. 

The company continues to record revenue and earnings that are higher on a year-over-year basis. That’s impressive because this was expected to be a year of tougher comparisons, even for a beloved company like TJX.  

The question that investors should be asking is: If this is how the company is performing with interest rates still around 5%, how will it do when the Federal Reserve cuts rates? 

Analysts currently have a consensus price target of around $112 which corresponds to the current stock price. However, in July 2024, Costco has received two price target increases which suggests that TJX could have at least 10% upside.
