TJX Cos. (TJX) Tuesday said it raised its full-year earnings per
share outlook.
For the current fiscal year, ending Feb. 1, 2020, the
Framingham, Mass.-based company now expects per-share earnings of
$2.56 to $2.61, compared with its previous guidance of $2.55 to
$2.60.
The parent of TJ Maxx and HomeGoods also is now guiding earnings
per share to increase of 4% to 7% over the prior year's adjusted
$2.45, which excluded a pension settlement charge. The company has
previously expected earnings per share to increase 4% to 6%.
The guidance reflects the assumption of higher freight costs and
store wage increases will negatively impact earnings per share
growth by 3% to 4%. The estimated comparable store sales growth is
of 2% to 3% on a consolidated basis and at Marmaxx, the company
said.
For the second quarter, the company guided per-share earnings of
61 cents to 62 cents, compared with analysts' estimates of 62 cents
a share. The company also estimated comparable store sales growth
of 2% to 3% on a consolidated basis and at Marmaxx.
