10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Looking into the current session, TJX Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>) shares are trading at $115.02, after a 0.15% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 2.63%, but over the past year, it actually spiked by 30.81%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729694768_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at TJX Companies P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
TJX Companies has a better P/E ratio of 27.89 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.88 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that TJX Companies Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729694768_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock&#39;s price. Do they really matter, though?
Let&#39;s take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about TJX (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tjx#NYSE">TJX</a>) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
TJX currently has an average brokerage recommendation of 1.24, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 25 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.24 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 25 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 22 are Strong Buy, representing 88% of all recommendations.
<h2>Brokerage Recommendation Trends for TJX</h2>
<img alt="Broker Rating Breakdown Chart for TJX" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/yesopchart/brokerage_bar/TJX_10112024.png" style="width:100%" title="" /> 
The ABR suggests buying TJX, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every &quot;Strong Sell&quot; recommendation, brokerage firms assign five &quot;Strong Buy&quot; recommendations.
In other words, their interests aren&#39;t always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock&#39;s price movement.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock&#39;s near -term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in making a profitable investment decision.
<h2>ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks Rank</h2>
In spite of the fact that Zacks Rank and ABR both appear on a scale from 1 to 5, they are two completely different measures.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers&#39; vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.
In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.
Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
<h2>Should You Invest in TJX?</h2>
Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for TJX, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $4.15.
Analysts&#39; steady views regarding the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for TJX.
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for TJX.

Over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.34%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 28.59%.

<h3>A Look at TJX Companies P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
TJX Companies has a better P/E ratio of 27.86 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.45 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that TJX Companies Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1728060617_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

P/E Ratio Insights for TJX Companies

The off-price trend has taken the retail wholesale sector by storm in the current economic climate. Consumers are trying to stretch their dollars but don&#39;t want to sacrifice quality. This rules out low-quality and low-price outlets like Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dltr#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) or even Dollar General Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dg#NYSE">DG</a>), which sells its items for more than $1, &nbsp;where you get what you pay for in terms of cost and quality.

<h2>The Rise of Off-Price Retailers and Gamification of Treasure Hunting </h2>
Off-price retailers are stores that sell brand-name merchandise at deeply discounted prices, often between 20% to 60% off regular retail prices. Since they buy opportunistically in bulk, their inventory is always changing based on availability rather than seasonality. This creates a &lsquo;treasure hunting&#39; effect that gamifies shopping for bargain hunters, never knowing what great deals they may find on any given day. Off-price retailers fulfill the need to get the most bang for the buck without sacrificing quality.
Some of the most popular off-price retailers include Ross Stores Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rost#NASDAQ">ROST</a>), Burlington Stores Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/burl#NYSE">BURL</a>), and Nordstrom Inc.

TJX is also investing $360 million for a 35% stake in Brands For Less, a major off-price retailer in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia with over 100 stores.

TJX bought back $559 million in stock and ended the quarter with $5.3 billion in cash. The company opened its 5,000th store in the quarter.
<h2>TJX Issues Forecasts </h2>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.

TJX Stock Earnings: TJX Companies Beats EPS, Beats Revenue for Q2 2025

The retail industry's long-term growth is fueled by resilient sales and rapid technological expansion. Amid this, it could be ideal to buy fundamentally solid consumer discretionary stocks: Lowe's Companies (LOW), TJX Companies (TJX), and Target Corporation (TGT) with holiday sales surge. Keep reading... Amidst evolving customer behavior, robust economic growth, and rising personal expenditure, the consumer discretionary industry is experiencing robust growth. It will further diversify and expand with the upcoming holiday sales surge.
Amid this backdrop, investors could consider investing in sound consumer discretionary stocks: Lowe's Companies, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/LOW/">LOW</a>), The TJX Companies, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TJX/">TJX</a>), and Target Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TGT/">TGT</a>) as the holiday season nears.
During the holiday season, market demand for personal commodities, items of daily use, and luxury goods surges strongly, and 2024 is expected to be no different. As per the <a href="https://www.supermarketperimeter.com/articles/11925-nrf-reports-predictions-for-2024-holiday-spending#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20National%20Retail,decorations%20and%20other%20seasonal%20items.">National Retail Federation's latest consumer survey</a>, this holiday season, consumer spending is projected to set a new record of $902 per person on average across gifts, food, decorations, and other seasonal items.
The amount is nearly $25 per person higher compared to last year's figure and $16 higher than the previous record set in 2019. NRF vice president of industry and consumer insights Katherine Cullen said, "The winter holidays are a treasured time for Americans, and they are prioritizing spending on family this holiday season."
Also, the recent <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/18/fed-cuts-rates-september-2024-.html">Federal Reserve rate cut</a> will encourage higher short-term borrowing with lower mortgage, auto loan, and credit card costs. The central bank's Federal Open Market Committee lowered its key overnight borrowing rate by a half percentage point, or 50 basis points, amid an improving job market and inflation easing inflation.
Therefore, amid rising disposable income and a surge in personal expenditure, investors could consider adding sound consumer discretionary stocks to their portfolios. Consumer discretionary includes goods that are not of an essential nature but are desirable for a consumer.
