The US trading group The TJX Companies Inc. was able to exceed expectations in the 2025/26 financial year. In a statement published on Wednesday, the parent company of retail chains such as TK Maxx, TJ Maxx and Homesense justified the positive figures with the focus on the off-price business model and strong results in all business areas.
In the fourth quarter of the most recent fiscal year, which ended on January 31, net sales rose nine percent compared to the same period last year to 17.7 billion US dollars (15.1 billion euros). Consolidated like-for-like sales increased by five percent. Net income for the quarter was just under $1.8 billion (1.5 billion euros), while diluted earnings per share increased 28 percent to $1.58. Diluted earnings per share, adjusted for special items such as one-time income from a legal dispute, rose 16 percent to $1.43.
For the full fiscal year, net sales reached $60.4 billion, an increase of seven percent compared to the previous year. Net income was $5.5 billion and diluted earnings per share rose 14 percent to $4.87. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the year were $4.73, exceeding the prior year level by 11 percent.
Ernie Herrman, the group’s CEO and president, praised the results. “I am extremely pleased with our outstanding performance in 2025,” he said in a statement. “Thanks to our teams’ collective efforts and precise execution of our strategy, we achieved results above plan in both sales and profits. Annual revenue exceeded $60 billion, marking an important milestone for our company.”
TJX Companies expects further growth in the future. The company forecast an increase in consolidated like-for-like sales of two to three percent for the first quarter and the entire 2026/27 financial year. Diluted earnings per share are also expected to be between $0.97 and $0.99 for the first quarter and between $4.93 and $5.02 for the full year.
