On Thursday, TD Cowen showed confidence in The TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX), raising its price target to $138 from $132 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The adjustment follows a visit to TJX's headquarters and store tour, which included meetings with top executives such as CEO & President Ernie Herrman and Senior EVP & CFO John Klinger.
During the visit, analysts had the opportunity to gain insights from Group Presidents for Marmaxx and HomeGoods, as well as the SVP of Global Communications and other investor relations personnel. The meetings left TD Cowen with a stronger positive outlook on TJX's ability to capture more market share, which is expected to contribute to sales growth and margin expansion. This confidence is supported by TJX's perfect Piotroski Score of 9 and robust revenue growth of 7.83% over the last twelve months.
The firm's assessment highlights TJX's unusual consistency in performance compared to the broader retail sector. This consistency is seen as a key factor that could support sustained double-digit earnings growth into the fiscal year 2026 and justify a mid-20s earnings multiple.
The new price target of $138 is based on approximately 26 times TD Cowen's fiscal year 2027 estimated earnings per share (EPS) of $5.23, which is higher than the consensus estimate of $5.10. The analyst's commentary underscores a belief in the company's continued financial growth and strong earnings potential in the coming years.
