Ross Stores Grew Comparable Sales 10%. TJX Grew 4%. Only One Stock Went Up.
The two off-price giants reported the same 13 weeks, a day apart. The market read them very differently -- and the second-half plans say why.
Ross Stores reported a 10% increase in comparable sales for its fiscal second quarter of 2027, compared to TJX's 4% growth. Despite both retailers reporting the same 13 weeks of business, the market treated the results as distinct, with TJX's stock falling 4% on the day and Ross Stores' stock jumping more than 4% on Friday. TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods, remains close to its 52-week low, while Ross Stores' stock has recovered significantly.
