TJX’s U.S. comparable store sales grew 4% year-over-year, exceeding the company’s expectations. Further, strong sales within apparel and accessories categories helped comparable store sales at Marmaxx climb 7% from the year-ago quarter.
Additionally, operating cash flow totaled $3 billion, and the company returned roughly $791 million to shareholders.
