The TJX Companies, Inc. reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025, with sales and earnings exceeding expectations. Comparable store sales increased by 5% in Q4 and 4% for the full year, driven by higher customer transactions. Net sales for the fiscal year reached $56.4 billion, reflecting a 4% year-over-year increase. The company’s pretax profit margin was 11.6% for Q4 and 11.5% for the full year, benefiting from lower inventory shrink expenses.
