Is The TJX Companies, Inc. (TJX) Fairly Valued?
The TJX Companies, Inc. valuation review using P/E, fair value, revenue growth, EPS growth, net margin, and TGMCharts chart exhibits as of August 18, 2026.
By TGMCharts Research · Data as of · Updated
The TJX Companies, Inc. does not get a one-metric verdict. The stock trades at 29.29x trailing earnings and the analyst DCF (FMP) reference is $97.68, so the valuation read depends on whether growth and margins support that price.
The core evidence is the relationship between price, earnings, fair value, and business support. Five-year revenue CAGR is 10.24%, five-year EPS CAGR is 130.62%, and net margin is 9.40%. Those facts decide whether the multiple is defensible or stretched.
- The TJX Companies, Inc. closed at $151 on August 18, 2026.
- Trailing P/E is 29.29x and price-to-sales is 2.74x.
- Analyst DCF (FMP) is $97.68 with margin of safety at -35.24%.
- Five-year revenue CAGR is 10.24% and five-year EPS CAGR is 130.62%.
- Earnings yield is 3.41% and net margin is 9.40%.

The Read
The TJX Companies, Inc. should be read as a valuation question with a specific burden of proof: does the market price have enough earnings, growth, and margin support to justify the multiple? The stock closed at $151 on August 18, 2026, trades at 29.29x trailing earnings, and shows an analyst-DCF (FMP) margin of safety of -35.24% — an independent reference, not a TGMCharts model output.
The answer cannot come from one ratio. This note treats P/E, fair value, price-to-sales, earnings yield, revenue growth, EPS growth, and margin quality as a linked evidence set. If those lines reinforce each other, the valuation can be defended with more confidence; if they split, the final read has to stay cautious.

Price And Multiple Context
The price and multiple section asks what the market is paying before judging whether that price is justified. Price-to-sales is 2.74x and earnings yield is 3.41%, so the first chart group keeps the market price, P/E history, and sales multiple in the same frame rather than treating the headline P/E as the whole story.
TJX P/E ratio Chart
The trailing earnings multiple is the main valuation exhibit because it connects the market price to reported earnings.
Latest P/E ratio: 29.29x as of August 18, 2026.
A P/E ratio of 29.29x has to be judged against the company's five-year EPS CAGR of 130.62%. If the multiple is high while EPS support is ordinary, the valuation thesis becomes more dependent on investor confidence than on fresh earnings power.
TJX price-to-sales Chart
Price-to-sales gives a second valuation lens when margins and earnings can move around the cycle.
Latest price-to-sales ratio: 2.74x.
Price-to-sales at 2.74x is most useful beside net margin of 9.40%. A richer sales multiple is easier to defend when margin quality is durable rather than temporarily elevated.
Fair Value And Margin Of Safety
The fair-value section is a reference point beside the market multiple. The stored fair value comes from the analyst DCF (FMP) — an independent third-party model, not a TGMCharts output — at $97.68, with a margin of safety of -35.24%. Treat it as one input rather than a verdict: see the The TJX Companies, Inc. DCF page for TGMCharts' own scenario range, which can differ materially.
The valuation at a glance
Each input on its own line: what the stock costs against earnings and sales, the model's fair value and how far price sits from it, and the growth and margins behind the business.
TJX earnings yield Chart
Earnings yield reframes valuation from an owner's-yield perspective rather than a multiple perspective.
Latest earnings yield: 3.41%.
The earnings yield of 3.41% is the counterweight to the P/E ratio. If the yield is thin relative to the quality and growth profile, the valuation case needs more help from future compounding.
Growth Support
Growth support has to show up in both the top line and the per-share outcome. Five-year revenue CAGR is 10.24% and five-year EPS CAGR is 130.62%. The revenue and EPS exhibits sit here because this is where the valuation note decides whether the multiple is being supported by actual business expansion or mainly by investor willingness to pay more.
TJX revenue
Revenue history tests whether the valuation is being supported by real business expansion.
Five-year revenue CAGR: 10.24%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.
Revenue growth is the business-expansion evidence behind the valuation read. A five-year revenue CAGR of 10.24% helps show how much of the valuation story is coming from company growth instead of only multiple expansion.
TJX EPS
EPS history checks whether reported earnings are keeping pace with the market multiple.
Five-year EPS CAGR: 130.62%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed or negative start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.
A five-year EPS CAGR of 130.62% is the clearest support figure for a P/E-based conclusion. If EPS growth slows while the multiple remains elevated, the article should become more cautious after refresh.
Margin Quality
Margin quality is the bridge between sales growth and earnings value. Net margin is 9.40% and price-to-sales is 2.74x, so this section reads profitability beside the sales multiple. A richer sales multiple is easier to defend when profitability is durable. If margins are already elevated, the valuation read should leave room for pressure even when the recent earnings record looks strong.
TJX net margin
Net margin shows whether the company has enough profitability quality to support its valuation.
Net margin (TTM): 9.40%. The bars below are annual fiscal years.
Net margin of 9.40% is a quality signal, not a valuation verdict by itself. It matters because a premium multiple is more defensible when margins are structurally strong and less defensible when margins are peaking.
Bull/Bear Valuation Case
The bull case is that revenue growth, EPS growth, and margin quality continue to support the current multiple. The bear case is that the P/E ratio and fair-value gap ask too much of the business if growth slows or margins normalize. Keeping both cases visible prevents the valuation note from becoming either a price chart recap or a model-output recap.
Bull and bear case
Valuation support
- Five-year revenue CAGR of 10.24% and five-year EPS CAGR of 130.62% support the business case.
- Net margin of 9.40% is the quality check behind the multiple.
Valuation pressure
- A P/E ratio of 29.29x can become demanding if EPS growth slows.
- The analyst-DCF (FMP) margin of safety at -35.24% should change the valuation read if it deteriorates after refresh.
What Could Change The View
The valuation read should change if the third-party DCF (FMP) estimate moves, if the latest close moves materially toward or away from that reference of $97.68, or if revenue and EPS growth break from the stored trend. The dated article snapshot above is the basis for this note; newer figures appear only in the separately labeled current snapshot.
Final Read
The final read is that The TJX Companies, Inc. needs valuation support from more than one place: the market multiple, the analyst-DCF (FMP) reference, growth, and margin quality all have to keep pointing in the same direction. Every figure in this research note is checked against data we compute and store from the company's reported filings. It is general research context only, not personalized investment advice or a buy or sell call.
