Revenue

Margins, % of revenue
Margins, % of revenue
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).
Loss periods are shown in red.
KIRA summarises the numbers
TJX Companies made $5.5B of net profit in fiscal 2026.
From fiscal 2017 to 2026, diluted EPS grew 12.2% a year.
Net income

Diluted EPS
Diluted EPS
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.
How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
KIRA summarises the numbers
Free cash flow was $4.9B in fiscal 2026, 8.1% of revenue.

Cash from operations vs capital spending
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.
KIRA summarises the numbers
TJX Companies returned $4.4B to shareholders in fiscal 2026, 89% of free cash flow.
The diluted share count fell 1.2%.
Dividends and buybacks
Dividends and buybacks
Diluted shares outstanding (annual)
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).

In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.

What does the share cost, and how does it compare?
What could happen to the share if things go badly, normally or very well? Pick a story or make your own. These are examples, not forecasts or price targets.
KIRA summarises the numbers
At $140.20 a share, the company is worth $156.6B: 26.0 times its earnings of the last four quarters.

Share in 5 years
$189.34
+6% a year
If you put in $1,000 today: $1,351
At 25x, earnings only need to grow 0.8% a year for the share to be worth todayβs price in 5 years. Faster, you gain; slower, you lose.
These are examples, not forecasts: nobody knows which will happen. Price in 5 years = earnings per share then Γ the P/E then. Dividends are not included.
Value per share

Adds net cash of $3.4B and divides by 1,128.0M diluted shares. Ten years of cash flows plus a terminal value, discounted to today.
Value per share
β
Reference multiples: today 26.9x Β· peers 21.2x Β· sector 17.7x.
In plain words: In the long run a share tends to follow two things: how much the company earns per share, and how many times those earnings the market is willing to pay (the P/E). Move those two levers and you see what the share could be worth. Different guesses give very different answers.
