How much a stock's price changes over time is a significant driver for most investors. Not only can price performance impact your portfolio, but it can help you compare investment results across sectors and industries as well.

With that in mind, let's take a look at TJX's main business drivers.

The company has been able to distinguish itself from traditional retailers on the grounds of opportunistic buying strategies and flexible business model. In fact, The TJX Companies’ low-cost structure sets it apart from other traditional retailers. In order to maintain control on costs, the company engages in the promotion of retail banners, rather than specific brands. The company’s distribution network is also designed in a manner such that helps curtailing costs. Moreover, the company emphasizes on creating strong relations with vendors across different countries, in order leverage buying power.

The TJX Companies has been benefiting from its focus on delivering an exceptional shopping experience and unmatched value to customers every day. A key indicator of its business strength is the consistent increase in customer transactions, which drove a solid comparable store sales increase of 3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. This steady growth highlights the company's successful strategy and positions it for long-term sustainability, focusing on customer transactions. The TJX Companies has been strategically positioned to capitalize on the exceptional availability in the marketplace, offering a diverse selection of exciting gifts both in-store and online. However, the increase in store wages and payroll costs has raised concerns. Another key challenge the company is facing is the negative impact of unfavorable currency translations.
