Today's editorial pick for you Retailers at a Crossroads: Target and TJX Dig Deep in Q3Posted On Nov 24, 2025 by Chris Markoch  This earnings season should remind you that America's top retailers rarely move in lockstep. The evidence this time around came from Target Corp. (NYSE: TGT) and The TJX Companies Inc. (NYSE: TJX). Table of ContentsThe retailers delivered distinctly different reports that showed just how divergent their fortunes are. While TJX pushed farther ahead of plan on both top and bottom lines, Target posted results that, although respectable, highlighted the demands of a fast-evolving U.S. consumer landscape. Let's dig into the numbers and narrative shaping each of these retailers. TJX: Strength in Value, Momentum in ExecutionTJX is the home of the treasure hunt. The retailer’s business model focuses on selling the overflow from other retailers at heavily discounted prices. The company delivered an upbeat quarter that outpaced its own expectations. Net sales climbed 7% year-over-year to $15.1 billion, with consolidated comparable sales up a robust 5%, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) rising 12% to $1.28. The gains reflected healthy performance across all the company’s business units (i.e., Marmaxx, HomeGoods, TJX Canada, and International). Comparable sales in Canada and HomeGoods led the group, with 8% growth, while Europe/Australia held steady at 3%. Pretax profit margin expanded to 12.7%, up 0.4 points over last year and solidly above plan, fueled by merchandise margin improvement, lower freight costs, and operating leverage. While SG&A as a percent of sales rose slightly, driven by higher store wages and incentive comp, TJX's ability to balance cost inflation against strong consumer demand shone through. For shareholders, the quarter was equally generous: $1.1 billion returned via buybacks and dividends, with full-year repurchase plans now bumped to $2.5 billion. Inventory, always a hot topic for off-price players, climbed to $9.4 billion. Management painted it as an opportunity, citing outstanding availability and "treasure hunt" assortments ready for the holidays. As CEO Ernie Herrman put it, "Our value proposition and ever-changing mix continue to draw consumers worldwide." Looking to Q4 and the year ahead, TJX raised guidance across the board. Comparable sales are now expected to be up 4% for the year. It also expects its profit margin to rise to 11.6%, and forecasts diluted EPS in the $4.63-$4.66 range, a 9% lift. The off-price retailer sees itself well-positioned for value-driven shoppers this holiday, thanks to both inventory flexibility and a nimble buying strategy. Target: A Transitional, Technology-Driven QuarterBy contrast, Target turned in a more muted quarterly report. Net sales dipped 1.5% year-over-year, and comparable sales fell 2.7%, reflecting ongoing challenges with discretionary categories and macro pressure on the mid-market customer. Despite this, Target managed digital comp sales growth of 2.4%. This was propelled by a 35% surge in same-day fulfillment and a nearly 50% increase in Target Plus marketplace GMV. On the bottom line, adjusted EPS came in at $1.78. That was about 4% lower than last year, with GAAP EPS at $1.51. However, beneath the headline numbers, Target is building momentum in several segments. For example, a 10% growth in toys and a 7% increase in beverages signal a focus on seasonal and consumable products. Hardlines and food performed well, thanks to assortment innovation and sharper merchandising, underpinned by AI-enabled tools like Trend Brain. Operationally, Target touted major improvements: on-shelf availability rose 150 basis points, next-day delivery now reaches over half of U.S. households, and market fulfillment strategies rolled out to 35 new regions. Technology partnerships, such as with OpenAI, position Target to enhance digital engagement by delivering fresh ways to shop (like the Target Gift Finder) and boosting conversion. The retailer's strategic plans remain ambitious. Another $1 billion in business investments and a $5 billion capex program are set to drive new stores, remodels, and digital fulfillment advancements in 2026. Management acknowledges headwinds but speaks confidently about "laying the foundation for a stronger, faster, and more innovative Target." What Investors Should WatchIt’s clear that these two retailers delivered strikingly different reports. Here are some points for you to consider before making a buy or sell decision.
The Bottom LineInvestors comparing TJX and Target this quarter will find a classic study in retail strategy divergence. TJX, led by stellar execution of the off-price model, is riding strong consumer demand and operational leverage. Target, meanwhile, is recalibrating, leveraging technology to adapt its value proposition while positioning for long-term category leadership. The holiday quarter will be the real proving ground for these retailers. Whatever unfolds, both giants demonstrate that agility and innovation remain retail's core currencies, even as the race between value-seeking and experience-driven shoppers shapes their paths forward.
