Prior to today's trading, shares of the parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and other stores had gained 5.95% over the past month. This has outpaced the Retail-Wholesale sector's gain of 4.56% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.31% in that time.

On that day, TJX is projected to report earnings of $0.62 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 5.08%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $9.89 billion, up 5.98% from the year-ago period.
TJX's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $2.63 per share and revenue of $41.33 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +24.64% and +6.05%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for TJX should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
