Chart of the Day
Here is the one-year chart of TJX Companies (TJX) as of December 15, 2025, when the stock was at $157.
The stock is hot because a tight economy has consumers pinching pennies on retail goods and eating out at restaurants. The stock’s strong performance is well recognized by everyone, pushing the shares very high. With a P/E of 30, the stock appears overvalued. Thus, 2026 looks like a year when the stock stick around this level for a while and digest its gains.
TJX is a core holding in our Conservative Growth Portfolio.
