TJX Companies, with over 5,200 stores globally, is positioned for continued growth, according to various experts. The company's strategy of purchasing excess inventory from struggling retailers at reduced prices allows it to thrive in a counter-cyclical market. Despite recent market fluctuations where retail stocks were down, analysts view the dip in TJX's stock as a potential buying opportunity, emphasizing its quality as a key holding. Although cautious on overall consumer spending due to economic cycles, they point out that TJX has managed to sidestep tariffs and continued to gain momentum with impressive same-store sales expected in the coming years. Importantly, the company also has a track record of heavy share buybacks, further demonstrating confidence in their future performance.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

TJX reported EPS of $0.76 vs $0.71 expected. Revenues of $11.78 mln were just shy of expectations at $11.82 mln, but essentially in-line and raised their annual profit guidance. The quarter was helped by freight rates coming down and they also noted an uptick in traffic recently. The results looked fine here and the outlook sounds optimistic even in the face of a more conservative expectation for Q2.

TOP PICK

Problem is, the street already knows this and has driven up TJX shares near 52-week highs from $56 to $80 in the last quarter. The stock has settled around $80 for the past month. However, there's still some room to grow because of this recessionary tailwind. Company earnings are expected to rise 40% in coming years, so there's a lot of optimism in this name. Its loyalty card program continues to attract customers across various demographics including Gen Z'ers and millennials who enjoy treasure hunting among the hand-me-down wares. The company is expanding, but not recklessly, increasing square footage by 1% quarter-over-quarter most recently.

BUY

They bought a lot of excess inventory this year, and he expects more buying because some retailers won't survive. Because their prices are so low, this will be a winner in 2023 as consumers trade down during the slowdown.

BUY

TJX and Dollar General are the names you need to look at in retail now, though the market has been anti-retail. PE's may be high, but they benefit from the economic environment.

BUY

They reported a strong quarter and confident forecast today. They offer hand-me-down merchandise from other retailers. Ideal in inflationary times when consumers are trading down.

TOP PICK

Believes company will preform well regardless of recession. Middle income customs will shop at discounted retailers. Increase in foot traffic likely during a recession. Lower cost of goods as high end retail sells slow inventory to company.

WAIT

Well managed. Be careful of timing. Trading at 20x earnings, which is a bit rich for the growth metrics. Are they going to be as popular once we come out of a recession? Consumers will probably gravitate to the higher-end brands.

PARTIAL SELL

He doesn't own much of this anymore, because their return on assets started to collapse.

BUY

Consumers are not buying household goods anymore, but experiences. So, there's an excess of inventory. Therefore, the excess retailers are the place to be, including Ollie's Bargain Outlet and TJX. These off-price chains are in a great position to pick up inventory. However, TJX just reported a weak report--disappointing sales, US same-store sales down 5%, dragged down by home goods. However, earnings beat slightly. Then again, they cut their full-year and earnings forecast. He likes TJX a lot, and now it's an opportunity. The conference call was encouraging. Even after this decline, this sells at only 22x earnings. They can add inventory now and make a killing at Christmastime.

BUY

Wait until they report on Wednesday, then do some buying. They make out like a bandit only when normal retailers need to dump their excess inventory which is happening now.

DON'T BUY

Likes it, but they have a lot of European exposure, so it's not as trustworthy as it used to be.

BUY

Ross and TJX benefit from oversupply in retail, and we've seen oversupply in many retail names.

WATCH

She's surprised that TJX's numbers (and retail) are up. After all, you have to go to their stores to spend; they don't have much e-retailing. She's looking at this as well as luxury clothing retailing. Louis Vuitton is down 25% since the start of February probably because people feel less wealthy than they were. She suspects this feeling extends to the lowest-end customer, too. Retail stocks should be cheap, but those with good balance sheets will be fine.
