Chart of the Day

Our chart of the day is the one-year chart of TJX as of September 23, 2022,  when the stock was at $61.

TJX is the largest major international off-price retailer in the world. The company offers a rapidly changing assortment of quality brand name and designer merchandise that is 20% to 60% below full-price retailers.

TJX was seeing a marketplace flush with off-price buying opportunities for high quality brands, due to the recession. Just today Nike (NKE) reported earnings with inventory up 44% from a year ago. NKE management plans to aggressively clear this inventory, some of which will likely go to TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

TJX. This company will pick up the excess sportswear at discount prices.

TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores will be flooded with nice clothes at cheap prices.

Also, notice this stock already bottomed back in May. I’m seeing lots of stocks that are building nice bases and are looking to head higher. TJX is one of them.
