Five key themes investors will be watching in markets this weekMay 18, 2026 6:33 AM
IH Market News Global bond market volatility, tensions involving Iran and a packed earnings calendar are set to dominate investor attention in the coming days. Results from AI chip leader NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) will headline the corporate agenda, alongside earnings from major retailers including Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Target (NYSE:TGT). Markets are also monitoring reports that SpaceX could release documentation tied to its long-awaited IPO later this week. 1. Bond market selloff remains a central concern The sharp selloff across global bond markets has become one of the biggest issues facing investors at the start of the new trading week, with rising yields continuing to pressure equities.The yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury hovered near a 15-month high, while government bond yields in Europe and Asia climbed to multi-year peaks. Bond yields move inversely to prices.Markets have become increasingly concerned that the surge in oil prices caused by the conflict involving Iran could reignite global inflation pressures. Investors are now debating whether central banks, including the Federal Reserve, may need to raise interest rates further if elevated energy prices persist.As volatility spreads through bond markets and borrowing costs rise for households and businesses, finance ministers from G7 countries are scheduled to meet in Paris on Monday. 2. Investors continue monitoring Trump’s Iran strategy The ongoing conflict involving Iran remains another major focus for global markets as the war approaches its 80th day.Although a ceasefire between Washington and Tehran has now lasted longer than the initial phase of fighting that began in late February, uncertainty remains over whether a durable peace agreement can ultimately be reached.President Donald Trump’s recent visit to China, one of the largest buyers of Iranian oil, failed to produce any agreement from Beijing to support a peace arrangement. However, Trump told Fortune magazine that Tehran has been “dying to sign” a deal.For now, markets appear to be facing a prolonged but unstable stalemate.Analysts at Vital Knowledge said Trump now faces a critical choice between resuming military operations or continuing efforts toward diplomatic de-escalation.“We think the latter remains the most probable scenario, but the odds of the former have certainly risen, and media reports over the weekend suggest Trump is receiving extensive briefings from advisors about various military options,” the analysts wrote. 3. Nvidia earnings expected to test AI optimism Despite geopolitical uncertainty, Wall Street has remained relatively resilient thanks largely to continued enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence.That optimism will face a major test this week when NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) releases quarterly earnings after markets close on Wednesday.Nvidia has become one of the most influential companies in global markets due to its dominant role supplying advanced AI chips, making its results a closely watched indicator for both the technology sector and the broader stock market.Large technology companies continue to commit enormous sums toward AI infrastructure investment, and analysts expect Nvidia to deliver exceptionally strong results. Still, some investors have started questioning how sustainable this level of spending may be among major cloud and hyperscale operators. 4. Retail earnings may offer clues on consumer resilience Strong corporate earnings have helped support equities despite geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.This week, however, several major retailers are due to report results that could provide insight into how consumers are handling inflation concerns and economic uncertainty.Alongside Walmart (NYSE:WMT), investors will also focus on results from Target (NYSE:TGT), TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX), and Home Depot (NYSE:HD).Some market participants believe households could begin reducing spending as higher fuel prices linked to tensions involving Iran put additional pressure on consumer budgets. Consumer spending represents more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. 5. Markets await possible SpaceX IPO filing Investors are also watching closely for developments surrounding the potential IPO of SpaceX.According to media reports, Elon Musk’s space company is targeting June 12 for a possible public listing, which could become the largest IPO ever completed.If those plans remain on schedule, the company — expected to trade under the ticker “SPCX” — may release its IPO prospectus as early as this week.The filing would provide investors with their first detailed look at SpaceX’s financial structure, operations and ownership arrangements, making it one of the most closely anticipated documents in global equity markets.Nvidia stock priceWalmart stock priceTarget stock priceTJX stock priceHome Depot stock price Original: Five key themes investors will be watching in markets this week

Q4 Fiscal 2026 Margins


For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company’s pretax profit margin was 13.5%, up 1.9 percentage points versus last year’s 11.6%. Excluding a net benefit from the litigation settlement and related expenses, adjusted pretax profit margin was 12.2%, up 0.6 percentage points versus the prior year.


Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026 was 30.9%, up 0.4 percentage points versus last year’s 30.5%. Excluding the impact from litigation settlement related expenses, adjusted gross profit margin was 31.1%, up 0.6 percentage points versus the prior year. This was primarily driven by a higher merchandise margin and expense leverage on sales, partially offset by unfavorable inventory hedges.


SG&A costs as a percent of sales for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026 were 17.6%, a 1.6 percentage point decrease versus last year’s 19.2%. Excluding a net benefit from the litigation settlement and related expenses, adjusted SG&A costs were 19.1%, a 0.1 percentage point decrease versus the prior year.


Net interest income negatively impacted fourth quarter Fiscal 2026 pretax profit margin by 0.1 percentage point versus the prior year.


The Company’s fourth quarter Fiscal 2026 adjusted pretax profit margin was well above its plan, primarily driven by lower than expected inventory shrink expense and expense leverage on the above-plan sales, partially offset by higher incentive compensation accruals.


Full Year Fiscal 2026 Margins


For Fiscal 2026, the Company’s pretax profit margin was 12.1%, up 0.6 percentage points versus last year’s 11.5%. Excluding a net benefit from the litigation settlement and related expenses, full year Fiscal 2026 adjusted pretax profit margin was 11.7%, up 0.2 percentage points versus the prior year.


Gross profit margin for Fiscal 2026 was 31.0%, up 0.4 percentage points versus last year’s 30.6%. Excluding the litigation settlement related expenses, full year Fiscal 2026 adjusted gross profit margin was also 31.0%. Lower inventory shrink expense resulted in a 0.2 percentage point benefit to full year Fiscal 2026 gross profit margin.


SG&A costs as a percent of sales for full year Fiscal 2026 were 19.1%, a 0.3 percentage point decrease versus last year’s 19.4%. Excluding a net benefit from the litigation settlement and related expenses, full year Fiscal 2026 adjusted SG&A costs were 19.5%, a 0.1 percentage point increase versus the prior year.


Net interest income negatively impacted full year Fiscal 2026 pretax profit margin by 0.1 percentage point versus the prior year.


Inventory


Total inventories as of January 31, 2026 were $7.3 billion, compared to $6.4 billion at the end of Fiscal 2025. Consolidated inventories on a per-store basis as of January 31, 2026, including distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit and the Company’s e-commerce sites, were up 10% on a reported basis and up 8% on a constant currency basis versus last year. The constant currency basis reflects inventory adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, if any, as described below. The Company enters the year in a terrific inventory position and is set up extremely well to take advantage of the availability in the marketplace and flow fresh assortments to its stores and online this spring.


Cash and Shareholder Distributions


For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company generated $3.2 billion of operating cash flow. For the full year Fiscal 2026, the Company generated $6.9 billion of operating cash flow and ended the year with $6.2 billion of cash.


During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company returned a total of $1.26 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased 5.1 million shares of TJX stock for a total of $784 million and paid $472 million in shareholder dividends during the quarter.


In Fiscal 2026, the Company returned a total of $4.3 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased 18.5 million shares of TJX stock for a total of $2.5 billion and paid $1.8 billion in shareholder dividends.


With continued strong cash flow, the Company announced today that it intends to increase the regular quarterly dividend on its common stock expected to be declared in March 2026 and payable in June 2026 to $.48 per share, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. This would represent a 13% increase over the most recent per share dividend.


The Company is also announcing today its plan to repurchase approximately $2.50 to $2.75 billion of TJX stock during the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027. With $1.1 billion remaining at Fiscal 2026 year end under the Company’s existing stock repurchase program, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $3.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. The new authorization represents approximately 1.8% of the Company’s outstanding shares at current prices. The new stock repurchase program marks the 26th program approved by the Board since 1997. Under the Company’s repurchase programs, share repurchases may be made from time to time in market or private transactions and may include derivative transactions. The repurchase program announced today has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company may adjust the amount purchased under this program up or down depending on various factors. The Company remains committed to returning cash to its shareholders while continuing to invest in the business to support the near- and long-term growth of TJX.


First Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2027 Outlook


For the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company is planning consolidated comparable sales to be up 2% to 3%, pretax profit margin to be in the range of 10.3% to 10.4%, and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $.97 to $.99.


For the full year Fiscal 2027, the Company is planning consolidated comparable sales to be up 2% to 3%, pretax profit margin to be in the range of 11.7% to 11.8%, and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.93 to $5.02.


Litigation Settlement Related to Credit Card Interchange Fees and Related Expenses


During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve litigation related to credit card interchange fees in which the Company was a plaintiff, resulting in a gain which benefitted the Company’s SG&A costs. Due to this gain, the Company incurred non-recurring settlement-related expenses that impacted both the Company’s cost of sales and SG&A costs. The net benefit of this gain from the settlement and related expenses was approximately $221 million for the Company’s fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2026 pretax profit.1 The impact of this gain from the settlement and related expenses to the Company’s fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2026 gross profit margin, SG&A costs, pretax profit margin, and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

Impact of Foreign Currency


Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect the translation of sales and earnings of the Company’s international businesses into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, ordinary course, inventory-related hedging instruments are marked to market at the end of each quarter. Changes in currency exchange rates can have a material effect on the magnitude of these translations and adjustments when there is significant volatility in currency exchange rates. Given the global operations of the Company, to facilitate comparability, the Company has provided sales growth and inventory on a constant currency basis, which assumes a constant exchange rate between periods for translation based on the rate in effect for the prior period.


The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a two percentage point positive impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.01 negative impact on fourth quarter Fiscal 2026 diluted earnings per share.


The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a neutral impact on the Company’s net sales growth in Fiscal 2026 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.01 negative impact on full year Fiscal 2026 diluted earnings per share.


A table detailing the impact of foreign currency on TJX’s net sales and pretax profit margins, as well as those of its international businesses, can be found in the Investors section of TJX.com.


The foreign currency exchange rate impact to diluted earnings per share does not include the impact currency exchange rates have on various transactions, which the Company refers to as “transactional foreign exchange.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information


The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods and between results in prior periods and expectations for future periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that affect overall comparability. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release include sales growth on a constant currency basis, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A costs, adjusted pretax profit margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted segment profit margin on a constant currency basis, and inventory on a constant currency basis. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance, including relative to others in the market. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to consider underlying trends of the Company’s business and believes presenting these measures also provides information to investors and others to assist them in understanding and evaluating trends in the Company’s operating results or measure performance in the same manner as the Company’s management. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures.


Important Information at Website


Archived versions of the Company’s conference calls are available in the Investors section of TJX.com after they are no longer available by telephone, as are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures and other financial information. The Company routinely posts information that may be important to investors in the Investors section at TJX.com. The Company encourages investors to consult that section of its website regularly.

The TJX Companies, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Statements



During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve litigation related to credit card interchange fees in which the Company was a plaintiff, resulting in a gain which benefitted the Company’s SG&A costs. Due to this gain, the Company incurred non-recurring settlement-related expenses that impacted both the Company’s cost of sales and SG&A costs. The net benefit of this gain from the settlement and related expenses was approximately $221 million for the Company’s fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2026 pretax profit. Additionally, the gain from the litigation settlement benefits the segment profit of the Company’s U.S. segments and the related expenses impact the segment profit of each of the Company’s segments.


During the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2026, the Company returned $1.26 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased and retired 5.1 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $784 million and paid $472 million in shareholder dividends. During the fifty-two weeks ended January 31, 2026, the Company returned $4.3 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased and retired 18.5 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $2.5 billion and paid $1.8 billion in shareholder dividends. In February 2026, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $3.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to time, with $1.1 billion still remaining as of January 31, 2026 under the existing stock repurchase program.
