GUIDANCE:
TJX Cos. sees Q2 2020 EPS of $0.61-$0.62, versus the consensus of $0.62.
For the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company expects diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $.61 to $.62, a 5% to 7% increase over the prior year’s $.58. The Company expects the combination of incremental freight costs and store wage increases to negatively impact second quarter EPS growth by 2% to 3%. This EPS outlook is based upon estimated comparable store sales growth of 2% to 3% on a consolidated basis and at Marmaxx.
TJX Cos. sees FY2020 EPS of $2.56-$2.61, versus the consensus of $2.61.
For the 52-week fiscal year ending February 1, 2020, the Company is raising its guidance for diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.56 to $2.61. This would represent a 5% to 7% increase over the prior year’s $2.43, which included a $.02 negative impact from a pension settlement charge. The Company now expects diluted earnings per share to increase 4% to 7% over the prior year’s adjusted $2.45, which excluded the pension settlement charge. This guidance reflects an assumption that the combination of incremental freight costs and store wage increases will negatively impact EPS growth by 3% to 4%. This EPS outlook is based upon estimated comparable store sales growth of 2% to 3% on a consolidated basis and at Marmaxx.
The Company’s earnings guidance for the second quarter and full-year Fiscal 2020 assumes that currency exchange rates will remain unchanged from the levels at the beginning of the second quarter.
