<h3>TJX Companies P/E Compared to 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 28.74 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 20.18 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.

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

With President Donald Trump brokering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46072859/trump-says-israel-is-not-going-to-attack-iran-after-ceasefire-violation-turn-around-and-head-home">ceasefire between Israel and Iran</a>, the major indices have predictably swung higher. Still, this normalization shifts the fundamental spotlight back to the economy, where an underlying truth cannot be avoided: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44916124/frozen-pizza-sales-surge-like-2009-recession-as-americans-cut-back-on-dining-out-amid-economic-strain">many consumers are struggling</a> amid significant challenges. From a pragmatic perspective, this dynamic could benefit TJX Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>). As an off-price department store, TJX specializes in the very discounts that consumers are looking for right now.
First, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dey0Q0MGmG8">statements</a> made by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to House lawmakers earlier today indicated that the central bank is in a wait-and-see mode. That's despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45898797/trump-and-jd-vance-push-fed-to-slash-interest-rates-after-mild-inflation-report-calling-current-policy-monetary-malpractice">increasing pressure from Trump</a> to implement rate cuts. However, Powell asserted that the Fed must fully understand the broader implications of the Trump administration's tariffs before initiating a change to monetary policy.
Reading between the lines, the central bankers are acknowledging the concerns of the consumer as it relates to costs of living. On a fundamental note, this circumstance may aid TJX stock due to the underlying discount retail business model.
Second, the specific catalyst that may help boost TJX is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/options/25/06/45984657/kr-stock-trade-down-effect-earnings-reversal">trade-down effect</a>. This phenomenon refers to consumers, when faced with tough economic conditions, choosing to buy either less of a product or lower-cost alternatives. As I stated prior to the first-quarter earnings report of grocery giant Kroger Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>), this dynamic could help lift KR stock out of its then-slump.
It's worth pointing out that the actual print overall came in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/46059125/these-analysts-raise-their-forecasts-on-kroger-after-stronger-than-expected-q1-earnings">better than expected</a>, sending Kroger shares dramatically higher. With TJX <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TJX/earnings">reporting earnings in August</a>, investors will have to wait for a substantive driver. However, traders may be able to extract quick profits in the interim.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="596" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24151238/TJX-stock-technical-analysis.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-960493" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24151238/TJX-stock-technical-analysis.jpg 1000w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24151238/TJX-stock-technical-analysis-300x179.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24151238/TJX-stock-technical-analysis-768x458.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by TradingView</figcaption></figure>
From a technical viewpoint, there appears to be a resistance level at around $128. The idea here is that TJX stock could potentially hit this level within a few weeks, thus triggering an option strategy's profitability zone.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Using Statistical Analysis To Pinpoint A Strategy For TJX Stock</h2>
While both the fundamental and technical frameworks for TJX stock are arguably bullish, these methodologies only speak to the potential magnitude component of the underlying thesis or the price chart's y-axis. But with options trading, the x-axis is also critical; otherwise, the right thesis at the wrong time may still result in a complete loss of principal in a debit-based strategy.
To better understand the lay of the land, traders must view the problem probabilistically, which requires statistical analysis. At first glance, this process sounds easy: just take the frequency of the desired outcome divided by the total number of events in the dataset. However, this approach only calculates what's known as the derivative probability or the odds of an outcome across the dataset's entire distribution.
Unfortunately, derivative probabilities aren't very useful. For instance, air travel is statistically considered a safe form of travel but this insight is aggregated across the experiences of all flyers. If your pilot is inebriated or air traffic control employees are under extreme stress, the odds of something bad happening dramatically increase.
In other words, the probabilities that we're looking for is conditional. This refers to the odds of an outcome based off a specific subset of the data. But in order to extract conditional probabilities, the dataset (price action in this case) must be organized in discrete states to distinguish one state from another. Therefore, my metric of choice is market breadth — sequences of accumulative and distributive sessions.
Discrete states represent the <a href="https://brilliant.org/wiki/markov-chains/">backbone</a> of Markov chain analysis, which is the mathematical principle that I have been utilizing in the past few months. As it relates to TJX stock, the past two months' price action can be converted into discrete states under the sequencing format "4-6-U": four up weeks, six down weeks, with a net positive trajectory across the 10-week period.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24150858/TJX-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-960487" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24150858/TJX-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24150858/TJX-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24150858/TJX-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24150858/TJX-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Admittedly, this process compresses the magnitude dynamism of TJX stock into a simple binary code. However, the benefit from a statistical standpoint is that the last-10-week intervals can be identified as unique behavioral states. Using past analogs, we can determine that when the 4-6-U sequence flashes, there's a 63.64% chance that the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 2.28%.
Projecting an upside target isn't an exact science due to the market's usual chaos. However, if the bulls maintain control of the market, a rational target is $128.20 over the next three to four weeks — roughly aligning with the aforementioned resistance level.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bold Debit Call Spread For The Risk-Tolerant Speculator</h2>
For traders interested in rolling the mathematical dice, the 127/128 bull call spread expiring July 18 may be tempting. This transaction involves buying the $127 call and simultaneously selling the $128 call, for a net debit paid of $46 (the most that can be lost in the trade). Should TJX stock rise through the short strike price ($128) at expiration, the maximum reward is $54, a payout of over 117%.
What makes this trade so enticing is the implied shift in sentiment regime of the 4-6-U sequence. As a baseline, the chance that TJX stock may rise over any given week is 54.11%. Therefore, the aforementioned sequence boosts the bullish odds quite significantly. In other words, the call spread may be favorably mispriced.
Part of the reason for the mispricing is that the vast majority of Wall Street analysts rely on interpretations of non-stationary price signals or financial ratios. Generally, these interpretations are vague, presenting difficulties for traders. With the above discrete-state analysis, we're using math and science to help pinpoint our strategic framework.

Options Corner: TJX Companies May Be Poised For Upside As Shoppers Hunt For Discounts

We have discussed why I favor real estate and Real Estate Investment Trusts. Since 1972, REITs have outperformed the major indexes. According to CEM Benchmarking, publicly traded real estate has outperformed every asset class except private equity since 1998. REITs have an excellent track record of paying and growing dividends.
Most people would rather chase stories than be the landlord and lender. I know far more wealthy lenders and landlords than I do rich dreamers.
Right now, most investors either hate real estate or simply do not think about it. The instant experts of the internet are convinced that real estate is heading to zero and will crash the banking system. They believe only bitcoin and AI stocks are worth buying. That is not going to happen.
Make your own call on bitcoin and AI. But consider this: who needs real estate?
Bitcoin and AI companies and their employees do. They need office space. They live somewhere. They shop at stores, pharmacies, and frequent gas stations and convenience stores. They visit doctors and labs. They travel to conferences usually held in hotels.
Those that actually manufacture products will eventually need warehouse and logistics space. Bitcoin miners need physical locations to house all those computers.
The majority of high-tech startups are going nowhere, but the people involved will still interact with real estate and make landlords wealthy regardless of how their ventures turn out.
I am not the only one who likes real estate at current prices.
&nbsp;I am seeing insiders who run these REITs (people who know the market better than anyone) begin making open market purchases of their own stocks.
John Rakolta Jr. is Chairman of Walbridge, one of the largest privately owned construction companies in the United States. Walbridge is a top U.S. builder of automotive and manufacturing facilities and has achieved considerable market diversity through expansion into the hyperscale data center market. He is also a Director of Agree Realty and has been aggressively buying shares in the open market recently.
While the instant experts of the internet scream &#8220;retail apocalypse&#8221; and predict the death of brick-and-mortar stores, Agree Realty (Ticker: ADC) has not only survived but thrived by completely rewriting the playbook. Agree Realty represents everything I look for in a long-term holding: contrarian thinking, exceptional management, fortress-like financials, and a business model that generates predictable cash flows in an unpredictable world.
In 2010, while everyone was fleeing retail real estate like it was radioactive, Agree Realty management team made a prescient decision that would define the company future. They launched their acquisition platform with a laser focus on &#8220;e-commerce resistance,&#8221; a concept largely ignored by the investment community at the time.
Consider that timing. This was just two years after the financial crisis, with Amazon retail dominance becoming increasingly apparent and traditional retailers closing stores left and right. Most investors and REITs were fleeing the sector. But Joey Agree and his team saw something different. They understood that certain types of retail were not going to disappear. They were going to evolve and become more essential than ever.
This was not just lucky timing. It marked the beginning of what would become one of the most successful strategic repositioning stories in REIT history.
Agree management articulated something Wall Street was missing: the emergence of the omni-channel economy. As Joey Agree explained in 2016, &#8220;Every retailer in the country is going to have to have billions of dollars, national retailers, to experiment, to test and eventually effectuate a true omni-channel experience because you cannot be an e-commerce-based retailer or just a brick-and-mortar-based retailer today. It does not work.&#8221;
This was not corporate speak. It was a fundamental insight that would prove prophetic. While others saw physical stores as dinosaurs, Agree saw them as critical infrastructure for the new retail economy. Stores were not just selling locations anymore; they were fulfillment centers, pickup points, showrooms, and customer experience hubs all rolled into one.
The company &#8220;RETHINK RETAIL&#8221; campaign was not marketing fluff. It was a declaration of war against conventional wisdom.
Let me walk you through some of Agree greatest hits, because this is where the company investment acumen really shines:
Tractor Supply Company (Ticker: TSCO) &#8211; Agree first acquired a Tractor Supply location in Q3 2013 when the company was still relatively unknown outside rural markets. Management saw something special: a retailer with no national competition serving the growing rural lifestyle market with products that could not easily be replicated online.
By Q2 2016, management was saying: &#8220;While neither Tractor Supply Company nor Hobby Lobby maintains a public credit rating, both possess investment-grade quality financials with very strong balance sheets.&#8221; They were ahead of the rating agencies by years.
By Q3 2018, their conviction was proven right: &#8220;We have a fantastic relationship with their real estate team. The business is really thriving. They have no national competition. They also have the highest-rated e-commerce website of any retailer.&#8221;
Today, after acquiring over 115 locations since 2013, Tractor Supply is Agree second-largest tenant at 4.9% of base rent. More importantly, TSCO was upgraded to investment grade (BBB by S&amp;P and Baa1 by Moody) in October 2020, validating Agree early assessment of the company credit quality.
Gerber Collision In 2014, Agree identified and met with The Boyd Group, parent company of Gerber Collision, recognizing early that this was a company positioned to consolidate a highly fragmented auto collision repair market. Their first acquisition came in Q3 2017.
By Q1 2018, management was already calling Gerber &#8220;the premier auto collision operator in the United States&#8221; and committed to working with them across all three growth platforms. By Q1 2022, they were describing their strategy as &#8220;identifying early on a retailer that we thought was in a tremendous position to access a fragmented space and had the balance sheet capabilities to do so.&#8221;
The result? Agree built a preferred development relationship with Gerber, developing over 20 locations to support their organic growth. Today, Gerber Collision is their 12th largest tenant with over 95 locations representing 2.3% of base rent.
Sunbelt Rentals First acquired in Q4 2015, Sunbelt Rentals represented Agree&#8217;s bet on the shift from equipment ownership to rental in the construction industry. As management explained in Q4 2019: &#8220;the only investment-grade operator in the country. If you look at the equipment ownership versus rental in this country&#8230; it is very, very low relative to Western Europe. And so, there&#8217;s a big opportunity in this country for equipment rental rather than ownership.&#8221;
The parent company, Ashtead Group, achieved investment grade ratings (BBB- by S&amp;P in August 2018, Baa3 by Moody), and by Q1 2022, management noted that &#8220;Our decision to invest in Sunbelt Rentals was recently reinforced by their upgraded BBB rating by Fitch.&#8221;
Sunbelt is now Agree 13th largest tenant with over 55 locations, representing 2.3% of base rent.
TJX Companies (Ticker: TJX) Agree relationship with TJX (parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods) dates back to 2012 when they developed their first T.J. Maxx. The company recognized early that off-price retailers had a sustainable competitive advantage in their treasure-hunt shopping experience and deep vendor relationships.
The insight proved prescient. As management noted in Q2 2017: &#8220;At the same time, in terms of women&#8217;s apparel, you look at T.J. Maxx&#8230;the off-price retailers have thrived.&#8221; By Q4 2017, they were saying: &#8220;the TJX Companies&#8230;is now our #5 tenant. We have a strong bias towards off-price retail and the experience and value proposition that it provides for consumers.&#8221;
Today, TJX is their 6th largest tenant at 3.1% of base rent, and the company continues to expand aggressively. Since 2012, Agree has acquired or developed over 55 TJX locations.
Let me give you a comprehensive look at Agree top tenants, because this portfolio tells the story of a company that has systematically assembled the cream of American retail:
Top 15 Tenants by Annualized Base Rent:
<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Walmart (Ticker: WMT) (5.9%, $38.5M ABR) &#8211; The undisputed king of retail, with the most advanced omni-channel operation in the world. Investment grade (AA from multiple agencies).</li>
<li>Tractor Supply (Ticker: TSCO) (4.9%, $31.8M ABR) &#8211; Dominant rural lifestyle retailer with no national competition. Upgraded to investment grade in 2020 (BBB/Baa1).</li>
<li>Dollar General (Ticker: DG) (4.4%, $28.4M ABR) &#8211; Leading small-box discount retailer serving rural and urban markets where traditional retailers can&#8217;t compete economically. Investment grade (BBB/Baa2).</li>
<li>Best Buy (Ticker: BBY) (3.3%, $21.7M ABR) &#8211; The last major electronics retailer standing, with a successful omni-channel model and services business. Investment grade (BBB/Baa1).</li>
<li>Kroger (Ticker: KR) (3.2%, $20.5M ABR) &#8211; One of America&#8217;s largest supermarket chains with advanced digital capabilities and strong market positions. Investment grade (BBB-/Baa1).</li>
<li>TJX Companies (Ticker: TJX) (3.1%, $20.0M ABR) &#8211; Off-price retail leader with T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods. Investment grade (A-/A2).</li>
<li>CVS Pharmacy(Ticker: CVS) (3.1%, $19.9M ABR) &#8211; Healthcare-focused pharmacy chain with integrated health services. Investment grade (BBB/Baa2).</li>
<li>Dollar Tree (Ticker: DLTR) (2.8%, $18.3M ABR) &#8211; Fixed-price point retailer with defensive characteristics. Investment grade (BB+/Ba1 &#8211; sub-investment grade but improving).</li>
<li>O&#8217;Reilly Auto Parts (Ticker: ORLY) (2.8%, $18.3M ABR) &#8211; Leading automotive aftermarket parts retailer with strong same-store sales growth and e-commerce resistance. Investment grade (BBB+/Baa1).</li>
<li>Hobby Lobby (2.8%, $18.2M ABR) &#8211; Dominant craft retailer with no direct national competition and products difficult to replicate online. Privately held but with investment-grade quality financials.</li>
<li>Lowe&#8217;s (Ticker: LOW) (2.8%, $17.9M ABR) &#8211; Second-largest home improvement retailer with strong omni-channel capabilities. Investment grade (BBB/Baa2).</li>
<li>Gerber Collision (2.3%, $15.2M ABR) &#8211; Leading auto collision repair chain owned by Boyd Group. Investment grade parent (BBB-/Baa3).</li>
<li>Sunbelt Rentals (2.3%, $15.0M ABR) &#8211; Equipment rental leader owned by Ashtead Group. Investment grade parent (BBB/Baa3).</li>
<li>7-Eleven (2.2%, $14.2M ABR) &#8211; Convenience store leader with defensive location characteristics. Investment grade parent.</li>
<li>Burlington (Ticker: BURL) (2.2%, $14.0M ABR) &#8211; Off-price apparel retailer with strong growth trajectory. Sub-investment grade but improving credit profile.</li>
</ol>
What strikes me about this list is the intentionality behind every single tenant. These are not random retail relationships. They are carefully curated partnerships with companies that have either achieved market dominance, possess unique competitive advantages, or operate in sectors with natural barriers to e-commerce disruption.
Perhaps most impressive is the credit quality: 68.3% of Agree base rent comes from investment-grade tenants. This is not an accident. It is the result of a deliberate strategy to partner with retailers that have strong balance sheets and sustainable business models.
The tenant mix also reveals smart sector allocation:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Grocery Stores (10.1%): Essential, frequent-visit retailers with omni-channel capabilities</li>
<li>Home Improvement (9.1%): Large-ticket items requiring customer inspection and immediate fulfillment</li>
<li>Convenience Stores (7.8%): Location-dependent businesses with defensive characteristics</li>
<li>Tire &amp; Auto Service (7.8%): Services that require physical presence and specialized equipment</li>
<li>Dollar Stores (7.0%): Serving markets too small for traditional competitors</li>
</ul>
I want to spend a moment on Walmart specifically, because at 5.9% of base rent, they are Agree largest tenant, and this relationship exemplifies everything the company does right.
Walmart is not just surviving the retail apocalypse. They are winning it. The company has built the most sophisticated omni-channel operation in retail, with stores serving as fulfillment centers, pickup locations, and last-mile delivery hubs. Their e-commerce growth has been explosive, but rather than cannibalizing store sales, it is making their physical locations more valuable than ever.
For Agree, Walmart represents the perfect tenant: investment grade credit (AA rating), growing business model, and a real estate strategy that aligns perfectly with the omni-channel future. These are not legacy stores that might become obsolete. They are critical infrastructure for Walmart continued growth.
While the tenant quality is impressive, what really captures my attention is Agree&#8217;s balance sheet. This is what a fortress looks like:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Investment grade ratings: Baa1 from Moody&#8217;s, BBB+ from S&amp;P</li>
<li>Net debt to recurring EBITDA: 4.9x actual, 3.4x proforma (including forward equity)</li>
<li>Fixed charge coverage ratio: 4.3x</li>
<li>No material debt maturities until 2028</li>
<li>Total liquidity: approximately $2.6 billion</li>
<li>Outstanding forward equity: over $1.3 billion</li>
<li>Revolver capacity: $1.2 billion</li>
</ul>
This gives them tremendous flexibility to take advantage of market dislocations.
With their fortress balance sheet and $2.6 billion in liquidity, Agree is positioned for accelerated growth. Management recently raised their 2025 investment guidance to $1.3-$1.5 billion (up from $1.1-$1.3 billion), reflecting confidence in their ability to find attractive opportunities.
The investment pipeline is enormous: management estimates over 169,000 net lease opportunities across their target sectors, with $92+ billion in opportunities reviewed since 2018. They have been highly selective, investing only $8.0 billion over that period, demonstrating disciplined capital allocation.
In a world where dividend cuts have become commonplace, Agree has paid 159 consecutive monthly dividends with an average AFFO payout ratio of just 75% over the past ten years. The dividend has grown at approximately 6% annually over the past decade, reaching $2.99 per share in 2024.
This is not a yield play built on an unsustainable payout ratio. It is a genuine dividend growth story backed by growing cash flows and conservative financial management.
Here is what I find most compelling about Agree Realty: they have built a dominant position in a sector that most investors still view with skepticism. This creates a sustained competitive advantage. While others avoid retail real estate, Agree gets first look at the best opportunities.
The &#8220;retail apocalypse&#8221; narrative has created a two-tiered market where strong retailers with good real estate get phenomenal terms, while struggling concepts cannot secure financing at any price. Agree benefits from both sides of this dynamic: they get attractive pricing on quality assets while weak competitors are eliminated from their markets.
In a market obsessed with the next shiny object, Agree Realty has quietly built one of the highest-quality REIT portfolios in the market by betting on American retail evolution rather than its demise. They have assembled a collection of retailers that are not just surviving the omni-channel transition. They are thriving because of it.
While others were running from retail real estate, Agree was building relationships with the winners. While others were chasing yield at any cost, Agree was building a sustainable dividend growth engine. While others were leveraging up in good times, Agree was building a fortress balance sheet for all seasons.
This is the kind of contrarian, quality-focused investment that can anchor a portfolio for decades. In a world of uncertainty, Agree Realty offers something increasingly rare: predictable, growing cash flows backed by essential real estate infrastructure and managed by a team with a &#x2A;proven track record of outstanding capital allocation.
Sometimes the best investments are hiding in plain sight, dismissed by the crowd but quietly compounding wealth for those patient enough to see past the headlines.
The insiders in real estate see the opportunity.
You should as well.

Alpha Buying: How This Company Quietly Took Over American Storefronts

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 $123.01, after a 1.01% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 8.83%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 11.44%. 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.

<h3>TJX Companies P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</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 29.24 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 21.09 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/2025/1750194020_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

TJX Companies's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, TJX Companies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 14.91%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Amidst a week of market volatility, heightened by a weak Treasury auction and a jump in long-term yields, some of America&#8217;s largest retailers posted first-quarter profits that indicate the consumer machine might be slowing. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">retail proxy ETF market</a>, so hotly followed, is getting shaken. This is how leading funds are positioned in response to the prevailing mood:
VanEck Retail ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTH#NASDAQ">RTH</a>): 
Exposure: Market cap-weighted, heavily skewed towards Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), and Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
Impact: RTH could be slightly more durable, given Amazon&#8217;s ongoing e-commerce strength and Walmart&#8217;s focus on essentials. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45536218/walmart-responds-to-trumps-eat-the-tariff-remark-worked-to-keep-our-prices-as-low-as-possible-and-we-wont-stop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walmart&#8217;s tariff warning</a> introduces a risk factor to this fund.
ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>)
Exposure: Concentrates on digital-native retailers such as Amazon and Chewy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHWY#NYSE">CHWY</a>).
Impact: A shift to e-commerce, accelerated by inflation fatigue and convenience demands, could support ONLN. Target and Lowe's are leaning into digital services, which may benefit ONLN's broader theme.
Amplify Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBUY#NYSE">IBUY</a>)
Exposure: A mix of U.S. and global e-commerce platforms. Amazon, Chewy, Wayfair (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/W#NYSE">W</a>) are among its top holdings.
Impact: Legacy players&#8217; renewed emphasis on convenience, expedited delivery, and promotions can drive competition for IBUY and ONLN members—but also affirm the long-term e-retail expansion story.

What&#8217;s Happening In the Retail World?
Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) took the cautionary lead, reducing its full-year earnings estimate to $7.00–$9.00 a share, from an earlier $8.80–$8.90. The firm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45540759/target-stock-slips-as-q1-earnings-miss-estimates-fy2025-outlook-cut-amid-slowing-sales">fell short of the top- and bottom-line estimates </a>with sales of $23.85 billion that missed the consensus and decreased by 2.79% YoY. Management attributed the marked decline in discretionary spending and the more conservative U.S. consumer. The company stock was down 5.2% on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Lowe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) narrowly beat earnings expectations with $2.92 per share but posted a 2.03% YOY <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45548489/jpms-take-on-lowes-mixed-q1-highlights-weather-headwinds-and-gross-margin-strength">decline in revenue</a>. The retailer maintained its full-year guidance, signaling steady, if uninspiring, confidence. Its message echoed Target's: high interest rates and economic uncertainty are reshaping consumer priorities. LOW was down 1.7% on Wednesday.
TJX Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45540766/tjx-boosts-q1-sales-with-more-shoppers-says-tariffs-wont-hurt-2026-outlook">stood firm on its perspective</a>, subject to existing tariff rates not changing. That position, though, did little to support shares, which declined 2.8% in tandem with peers. Walmart and Home Depot, in prior comments, emphasized the pricing squeeze of fresh tariffs, with Walmart cautioning for potential increases while Home Depot vowed to cover costs.
Tariffs, Yields, And The Retailer&#8217;s Dilemma
The macro backdrop is compounding retail headwinds. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed toward 4.6% and the 30-year breached 5% after a lackluster $16 billion auction in 20-year bonds, stoking fears of a higher-for-longer rate regime. With borrowing costs elevated, big-ticket purchases and home improvement projects are being shelved, a scenario confirmed by Lowe's soft revenue.
Tariffs are the other elephant in the shopping aisle. Retailers facing Chinese imports are rethinking pricing and supply chain strategies, but consumers have only so much tolerance for higher prices. Walmart&#8217;s caution is in stark contrast with Target&#8217;s vow to keep increases in check, a risk that could strain margins.
A Sector In Search Of A Spark
Retail ETFs continue to be a gauge of consumer spending and attitudes. The prevailing story—declining foot traffic, lagging discretionary sales, and economic conservatism—supports the view that funds such as XRT and RTH could be stuck in their ranges or lag unless attitudes shift or there are earnings surprises.
The bright spots? Retailers doubling down on digital tools, delivery innovation, and loyalty perks may insulate themselves from broader weakness. Investors should watch for ETF managers rebalancing exposure toward more resilient names—especially those boosting digital margins or catering to professional buyers, as Lowe's is attempting.
With warning lights flashing on the U.S. consumer horizon, retail ETFs are taking a hit. Investors would be wise to follow not only earnings, but forward guidance and how retailers are responding. In a more discerning market than ever, the right retail exposure may be the difference-maker.
