HomeGoods Continues to Excel for Off-Price Giant TJX
Off-price retail giant TJX (NYSE: TJX) still gets the bulk of its revenue and profit from the T.J. Maxx and Marshalls chains, which primarily sell apparel, shoes, and accessories. However, in recent years, the HomeGoods chain has become an increasingly important source of growth.
In the first six months of fiscal 2018, HomeGoods has stood out even more. Year-to-date, TJX has reported modest 2.9% sales growth at its Marmaxx segment, which includes both T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. The segment's profit has actually declined slightly on a year-over-year basis. By contrast, HomeGoods has continued on its explosive growth trajectory.
HomeGoods has put together a run of strong growth in the past few years. Comparable store sales rose 6% last year, following an 8% gain in fiscal 2016 and 7% growth in fiscal 2015.
