TJX price target lowered to $133 from $136 at Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley lowered the firm’s price target on TJX (TJX) to $133 from $136 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. For the North American softlines retail group, the firm anticipates broad-based Q1 EPS upside is likely to be overshadowed by tariff-driven FY25 guidance reductions and withdrawals, the analyst tells investors in a sector earnings preview note. Q1 prints could “prove a negative catalyst for most Softlines Retail stocks,” with Bath & Body Works (BBWI) and Gap (GAP) called out by the firm as “unique possible exceptions.”
