The parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and other stores's stock has dropped by 0.07% in the past month, exceeding the Retail-Wholesale sector's loss of 5.71% and the S&P 500's loss of 3.95%.

Simultaneously, our latest consensus estimate expects the revenue to be $13.04 billion, showing a 7.14% escalation compared to the year-ago quarter.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $3.71 per share and revenue of $53.68 billion. These totals would mark changes of +19.29% and +7.5%, respectively, from last year.
