TJX

The TJX Companies Inc (TJX) reported a strong Q2 with a 7.7% YoY rise in sales to $12.76 billion, beating estimates. Net income rose to $989 million, or 85 cents per share, and traffic increased across all segments. Unlike other retailers, TJX benefited from price-conscious consumers who are still willing to splurge on discounted premium apparel. The company raised its full-year guidance for comparable store sales and EPS. TJX's strong performance is contrasted with Target Corporation (TGT) and Home Depot (HD), whose sales slid as consumers prioritized needs over wants.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes reveal a divide among members regarding future interest rate hikes. While most participants see significant upside risks to inflation, requiring further tightening of monetary policy, some favor leaving the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged. The minutes also noted downside risks to economic activity and upside risks to unemployment. Following the release of the minutes, the market slightly revised higher chances for a rate hike by November. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) initially declined but recovered losses, while the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (UUP) spiked and then declined.
