• Several firms have raised their TJX price targets after recent results, including BTIG moving to US$185 from US$165, Barclays to US$183 from US$172, Telsey Advisory to US$175 from US$170, BofA to US$175 from US$168, and JPMorgan to US$173 from US$154.

• BTIG points to 5% total comparable store sales growth, supported by both traffic and ticket, and a 31.1% gross margin with merchandise margin expansion and shrink levels that it views as back to pre COVID norms.

• BofA highlights sales and margin performance in Q4, the release of initial FY27 guidance, and commentary around a strong start to Q1 as key supports for its higher target.

• Bernstein describes TJX as the highest quality and most consistent name among major off price peers, and raised its target to US$170 from US$155 while maintaining a positive view on the off price group.

• Deutsche Bank resumed coverage with a Buy rating and a US$184 target, citing optimism on retail and what it characterizes as solid top line trends for the sector.

• Deutsche Bank trimmed its TJX price target to US$182 from US$185 following the latest print, which may signal some caution on how much upside remains against already strong expectations.

• Across the research, several firms reference macro challenges, consumer sentiment, and broader retail volatility, which could introduce risk to traffic, ticket, or margin assumptions even for a company that analysts view positively.
