Why TJX Companies Stock Got Thrashed in August
TJX Companies' stock dropped nearly 15% in August despite solid Q2 2027 earnings with 5% revenue growth and 22% net income increase. The decline was driven by the company's full-year adjusted earnings guidance of $5.15-$5.20 per share falling short of analyst expectations of $5.22, combined with downgrades from Jefferies and Gordon Haskett analysts. The stock's prior strong performance had inflated valuations, making investors unforgiving of even modest misses on forward guidance.
