TJX Hits 52-Week High Following 28.9% Year-to-Date Increase

TJX has increased by 28.9% from the year’s start and, at $120.18 per share, has reached a new 52-week high. The shares of TJX have not moved more than 5% in the past year, and their volatility is not much higher than the market average. Against that backdrop, today’s action suggests the market finds this news significant, even if it may not materially alter its assessment of the company.

The company’s first-quarter results, which exceeded analysts’ forecasts for revenue and earnings per share (EPS) due to higher client transactions, resulted in a 6.9% gain in stock price three months ago, marking the largest advance in the last year. Margins also improved, with gross margin increasing to 30%, up from 28.9% in the same quarter the previous year, due to lower freight costs and a favorable markup.
