The Most Recent Earnings Release
TJX Companies released its Q32021 earnings in November of 2020. Retailers around the world have been severely impacted by lockdowns resulting from the pandemic as well as low footfalls. The third quarter of 2021 was the first quarter in months when all TJX stores were open. According to company CEO Ernie Herrman, “I am very pleased that both our sales and earnings per share well exceeded our plans. Overall open-only comp store sales were down 5% and earnings per share were $0.71. Further, sales exceeded our plans across each of our divisions. Our above-plan third-quarter results reinforce our confidence in the flexibility and strength of our business model over the long-term.”
TJX Companies still faces some headwinds due to consumer behavior amidst the pandemic, which still hasn’t gone away, as well as certain limitations in the way it operates due to safety and occupancy guidelines issued by local governments around the world.
