This post was originally published on this site

The company is starting to see expenses ease in a boost to its margins after months of grappling with sky-high costs related to raw materials, labor and freight.

TJX (NYSE:TJX) now expects 2024 adjusted profit per share to be between $3.39 and $3.48, compared with its previous range of $3.29 to $3.41.

The company also maintained its full-year sales forecast.

However, shares of the HomeGoods owner fell about 2% in premarket trading as it missed first-quarter revenue estimates.

The T.J. Maxx parent’s net sales rose to $11.78 billion in the first quarter, from $11.41 billion a year earlier, missing analysts’ estimates of $11.82 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
