Discount apparel retailer TJX Cos., Inc. (TJX) declined after mixed results from the first quarter. Sales grew 5% year-over-year and inventory was well controlled, but North American store traffic was weak, and the company’s merchandise margin contracted. Despite near-term headwinds, we continue to believe that the company remains well positioned given the value, branded product offering, and convenience it offers customers.
