Deep dives
TJ Maxx profits from Target's inventory and customers
TJ Maxx's stock reached an all-time high as the company benefited from receiving excess inventory and customers from struggling retail giant Target. TJ Maxx's business model, based on offering discounted clothing and other items bought as leftover inventory from premium retailers, proved successful as sales jumped 8% and profits increased by 23% last quarter. This trend is expected to continue as Target's lower sales and consumers' preference for bargains drive them to shop at TJ Maxx.
