After you receive this Alert, we will buy 223 shares of TJX Companies ($TJX) at or near $151. Following the trade, TJX shares will account for roughly 3.0% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets.
With inflation concerns bubbling back up and the timetable for any relief at the gas pump continuing to be pushed out, we are picking up more shares of discount retailer TJX for the Portfolio. We see the company as well positioned as consumers look to stretch the spending dollars they do have, and as other retailers feel the pain of rising input costs and more selective consumers.
In addition to those renewed inflation pressures and the concern over consumer spending dollars, multiple companies so far this earnings season have reminded us about the impact of tariffs. We’d remind you that because TJX sources its goods through liquidations of excess inventory, brand closeouts, overruns and order cancellations, its exposure to tariffs is smaller than other retailers.
We are making our move today as TJX shares have started to catch their footing after falling more than 10% off their April high near $164. We like what we see with the MACD indicator and the shares moving back above their 200-day moving average.
Our thinking is comments about the consumer this week and sobering guidance about the 2026 second half from the likes of Home Depot ($HD), Target ($TGT), and others will be a positive for TJX and its positioning.
