Dividend coverage (FY2026)
Covered by reported results. In FY2026, TJX's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 34%, free-cash-flow payout 37%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout34% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout37% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2026 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How TJX Companies looks technically
TJX Companies (TJX) is trading 8.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 32 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 26, with buyers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 62, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day high about 3 trading days ago. It is 18.4% below its highest point of the past year. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 49% of its 30-day average.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 8.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -8.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $138.91 | $138.91 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $151.95 | $151.95 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 23 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 23 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that downward direction; the labelling fails if price closes above 148.27. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 (one of several readings) |

|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($128.57 to $139.62) — its "stochastic" reading is 92 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 92.2 |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($122.84 to $168.41), and it has recovered roughly a third of its fall from last year’s high — 35% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $151.00 to $152.46. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 34.9% |
| From the all-time high | it is 18.4% below its all-time high | -18.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a support level at $138.57 — a price it turned at three times since 2025-09-22, most recently on 2025-11-03. Since 2024-10-09 it has 6 such levels below the current price and 5 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.1% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $0.9258 (set on 1996-07-30) | $0.9258 |

Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 70th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $2.82 between its high and its low — about 2.0% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $2.82 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $122.59 and $140.68 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $122.59 – $131.63 – $140.68 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.0% in a typical session — calmer than most companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 2.0% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 4.7 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (8.7% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 4.7 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-09 0.2% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 4.5% below the previous close 36 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 150.85 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -4.5% |
| Gap filled | a 2.2% gap up opened on 2026-07-28 has been "filled" 48 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 4 sessions to close | 48 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a fresh 20-day high, MACD momentum is positive, a strong uptrend, with buyers in control — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, lagging the market over 6 months, near the top of its 14-day range (overbought), trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 2.3% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-02 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 5.2% of the share price. | -2.3% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 7% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $148.87 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 191 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -6.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 5% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-19 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $132.72 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 37 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +4.5% |
Price levels it has turned at before
TJX last closed at $138.76 on 2026-10-09. Since 2024-10-09 it has turned at 6 prices below its last close and 5 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $148.27.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $132.28 and $142.91 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction, which fails on a close below $122.78.
This reading has stood for 13 trading days, since 2026-09-23.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-09.
An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

- New disclosure in 2026-05-29 filing: 'We estimate we have paid approximately $490 million in IEEPA related tariffs.'
- New disclosure in 2026-05-29 filing: 'U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has established a phased administrative process for submitting refund claims for certain IEEPA tariffs.'
- New disclosure in 2026-05-29 filing: 'As of May 2, 2026, we have not recorded a receivable for any potential refunds and continue to monitor ongoing legal, administrative and regulatory processes.'
- New disclosure in 2026-05-29 filing: 'Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we filed for refunds that we believe are eligible under phase 1 of the CBP process and as of May 29, 2026 have received an immaterial amount in refunds.'
- Removed:
- Removed from newer filing: reference to 'nearly 5,200 stores' changed to 'over 5,200 stores'
- Removed from newer filing: nine-month (thirty-nine weeks) financial data comparison that was in 2025-12-02 filing
- Removed from newer filing: disclosure 'Starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Sierra stores are included in the consolidated average per store inventories'
- Removed from newer filing: 'It is possible that some of the actions we might take to adapt could increase risk, drive a modification of our operations that might be time-consuming or expensive, or possibly impact pricing on certain items, which could impact our business.'
- Removed from newer filing: reference to 'reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs' (replaced with just 'retaliatory tariffs')
- Reworded:
- Store count descriptor changed from 'nearly 5,200 stores' (2025-12-02) to 'over 5,200 stores' (2026-05-29)
- Tariffs section restructured: 2025-12-02 version combined all tariff discussion in one paragraph; 2026-05-29 version separated into discussion of IEEPA Supreme Court decision and refund process as distinct new content
- Store square footage change disclosure: 2025-12-02 stated 'approximately 2%' increase; 2026-05-29 states 'approximately 3%' increase (different fiscal periods being compared)

- Notes:
- The two filings compare different fiscal quarters (Q1 fiscal 2027 ending May 2, 2026 vs. Q3 fiscal 2026 ending November 1, 2025), making direct comparisons of operational metrics less relevant than changes to disclosure content.
- Financial metrics differ between periods due to different quarter timing, not due to changed reporting methodology.
- The IEEPA tariff discussion is substantively new content in the 2026-05-29 filing reflecting a material event (Supreme Court decision in February 2026) that occurred after the 2025-12-02 filing date.
