TJX shares rise as earnings beat drives upward guidance revision
-- The TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX), Inc. reported second-quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, prompting the off-price retailer to raise its full-year profit outlook. Shares surged 3.8% following the announcement. The parent company of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.10 for the second quarter, significantly above the analyst estimate of $1.01. Revenue reached $14.4 billion, surpassing the consensus expectation of $14.14 billion and representing a 7% increase from the same period last year. Comparable store sales grew 4% across the company's portfolio of stores. TJX's pretax profit margin came in at 11.4%, well above the company's plan and 0.5 percentage points higher than last year's second quarter. The company attributed the strong margin performance to favorable hedges, operational efficiencies, and the timing of certain expenses. "I am extremely pleased with our second quarter performance. Sales, pretax profit margin, and earnings per share were all above our plan," said Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of TJX. "Consumers were drawn to our excellent values and brands. Customer transactions were up at every division as we saw strong demand at each of our U.S. and international businesses." Looking ahead, TJX raised its full-year earnings guidance to $4.52-$4.57 per share, above the analyst consensus of $4.51. However, the company's third-quarter EPS guidance of $1.17-$1.19 fell short of the $1.22 analysts were expecting. TJX maintained its full-year comparable sales growth forecast of 3%. The company's inventory position increased 10% on a per-store basis compared to last year, which management described as reflecting "excellent buying opportunities" in the marketplace. During the quarter, TJX returned $1 billion to shareholders through $515 million in share repurchases and $474 million in dividends. All of TJX's divisions reported positive comparable sales growth, with TJX Canada leading at 9%, followed by TJX International and HomeGoods at 5% each, and Marmaxx at 3%.

Why Is NuScale Power Stock Sliding Right Now?
Key Points NuScale Power's shares are down by nearly 40% from their July high. A major shareholder has announced its intention to sell a large stake. The company's second-quarter results were worse than expected. 10 stocks we like better than NuScale Power › NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) is a nuclear power start-up focused on small modular reactors (SMRs). The company is a speculative bet on small-scale nuclear power. The stock had been rising, but NuScale shares dropped 37% from July 25 to Aug. 19. What's going on? The double whammy It appears that NuScale is the victim of a pair of negative catalysts that hit in rapid succession: news of a big insider stock sale and a tepid quarterly report. On July 31, construction and engineering company Fluor Enterprises (NYSE: FLR) -- NuScale's largest shareholder -- entered into an agreement to exchange 15 million Class B shares of NuScale stock for 15 million Class A shares. The transaction took place on Aug. 12. That agreement allows Fluor to sell the shares starting on Sept. 11, subject to some daily limitations. Existing NuScale shareholders were justifiably concerned that such a massive stock sale would dilute the value of their shares, so some probably decided to sell before the lock-up period expires and a flood of new shares on the market brings the share price down. Then, on Aug. 7, NuScale reported its Q2 results, which featured lower-than-expected revenue of $8.1 million and a net loss of $0.13 per share. The company's stock dropped another 12% in response, and has only slid further since. Even so, shares are still up 82% year to date as of market close Aug. 19, crushing the S&P 500's approximately 10% gain. A risky bet NuScale's SMRs are still in the development phase. In its Q2 earnings presentation, management reiterated that it's hoping to get "a firm order by the end of 2025" for a reactor, which it would still then need to build. In the meantime, it remains a risky, speculative investment. Fluor's impending sale of NuScale stock could cause the price to drop further, so interested investors will probably want to wait before buying in.
