Recent financial performance is holding in the top half of its industry — the reason to own it looks intact.
Recent financial performance is strong, and management's recent track record has been steady. Earnings quality is neutral, and risk is moderate, while the sector backdrop is a headwind. Peer multiples imply a price about 106% below where it trades (it looks expensive on this basis); the read is rich. This valuation suggests that TJX trades above peer multiples, and the longer horizon does not make that back through growth. The read is provisional.
Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
A consensus fair price across 8 valuation methods, at three horizons. Current price $168.41. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
No-growth: today's peer multiple on trailing earnings. The headline read.
Embeds projected growth. Leans optimistic by design. Upside context.
We take the 12-month fair value above and grade our own number — how the market prices this name versus what we'd justify, and where the two diverge.
At $168 the market pays 33× p/e — above the 16× p/e peer median but in line with its own 29× history. That premium reflects a durable franchise our peer-anchored $82 fair value understates; treat the 'expensive vs peers' read with low confidence. Analysts: $160–$197. Not investment advice.
