Discount Retailer TJX Weathers Tariff Woes, Shares Surge
17 Aug
Summary
- TJX stock gains 9.5% YTD, up 6.5% since late August
- Cramer not worried about tariff impact on TJX
- AI stocks seen as offering higher returns than TJX
In the past year, the TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TJX), an off-price retailer, has seen its stock price rise significantly. As of August 17, 2025, the company's shares have gained 9.5% year-to-date, with a 6.5% increase since late August.
This surge in TJX's stock price appears to be driven by a dip in consumer strength, which could push more shoppers towards discount stores like TJX. Cramer, the well-known financial commentator, has previously discussed TJX's earnings and share price, noting that despite the company's strong financial performance, its stock has struggled to rise due to investor concerns about tariff exposure.
However, in a recent interview, Cramer expressed that he is not as worried about the impact of tariffs on retail stocks like TJX. He acknowledged that his charitable trust holds a position in TJX, but he believes the company is well-positioned to weather the tariff storm.
While TJX's performance has been impressive, the article suggests that some AI stocks may hold even greater promise for delivering higher returns with limited downside risk.
