The off-price retailer disperses its vast and disparate merchandise across its 5,000 global stores, creating a treasure-hunt shopping experience for consumers. Over three quarters of TJX's sales are derived from the United States, primarily via the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods banners. About 10% of sales are from Canada and 12% from Europe and Australia.

The off-price trend has taken the retail wholesale sector by storm in the current economic climate. Consumers are trying to stretch their dollars but don&#39;t want to sacrifice quality. This rules out low-quality and low-price outlets like Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dltr#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) or even Dollar General Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dg#NYSE">DG</a>), which sells its items for more than $1, &nbsp;where you get what you pay for in terms of cost and quality. It&#39;s the perfect storm environment for leading off-brand retailer The TJX Cos. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tjx#NYSE">TJX</a>), who operates popular off-price stores like TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Marshalls.
<h2>The Rise of Off-Price Retailers and Gamification of Treasure Hunting </h2>
Off-price retailers are stores that sell brand-name merchandise at deeply discounted prices, often between 20% to 60% off regular retail prices. Since they buy opportunistically in bulk, their inventory is always changing based on availability rather than seasonality. This creates a &lsquo;treasure hunting&#39; effect that gamifies shopping for bargain hunters, never knowing what great deals they may find on any given day. Off-price retailers fulfill the need to get the most bang for the buck without sacrificing quality.
Some of the most popular off-price retailers include Ross Stores Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rost#NASDAQ">ROST</a>), Burlington Stores Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/burl#NYSE">BURL</a>), and Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jwn#NYSE">JWN</a>) Nordstrom Rack department stores, which now outnumber its full-price namesake locations.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.

Cheap volatility stocks that would come afloat in case of a recession - Barclays

Stocks to watch amid the threat of a major East Coast port strike this week

The consumer goods sector is flourishing, with positive economic indicators and solid wage gains. As consumer spending rebounds, quality consumer stocks Amazon.com (AMZN), Lowe's Companies (LOW), and The TJX Companies (TJX) could be ideal buys now. Keep reading… As consumer spending rebounds, consumer stocks offer promising investment opportunities. The industry represents companies that provide non-essential goods and services, such as home improvement, fashion, and consumer products, which tend to perform well when consumer confidence and spending are high.
Given this backdrop, it could be wise to invest in fundamentally strong consumer stocks  Amazon.com, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMZN/">AMZN</a>), Lowe's Companies, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/LOW/">LOW</a>), and The TJX Companies, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TJX/">TJX</a>).
Consumers boosted spending in August, propelling the economy's growth prospects for the third quarter. The Commerce Department reported that <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/us-consumer-spending-rises-moderately-august-inflation-slows-2024-09-27/">consumer spending rose 0.2%</a>.
Unemployment also ticked down in August, with a <a href="https://www.marketplace.org/2024/09/06/august-jobs-report-is-mixed-but-a-pleasant-surprise-on-wages/">0.4% month-to-month growth in wages</a>. This was better than what the economists were expecting and was bigger than the wage growth in July. This can be an indication of a further increase in consumer spending.
Additionally, with the hopes of <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/traders-bet-second-straight-50-bps-fed-rate-cut-november-2024-09-27/">another 50-point interest rate cut</a> by the Fed, right after the historic cut this month, it could also boost the economy and its consumer spending further alongside easing inflation over the year.
Considering these encouraging economic trends, let's delve deeper into the fundamentals of top consumer stocks.
Amazon.com, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMZN/">AMZN</a>)
AMZN specializes in retail sales, advertising, and subscription services through online and physical stores. The company also manufactures and sells electronics like Kindle, Fire tablets, Fire TVs, Echo, Ring, Blink, and Eero and develops media content. Its segments include North America; International; and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
On September 16, AWS announced a strategic collaboration with Intel Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/INTC/">INTC</a>) to co-invest in custom chip designs under a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar framework. INTC will produce an AI fabric chip for AWS using its most advanced process node, Intel 18A.
By leveraging INTC's state-of-the-art technology, AWS would enhance its performance and efficiency, positioning AMZN at the forefront of innovation.
On September 9, AWS announced a strategic partnership with Oracle Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ORCL/">ORCL</a>) to launch Oracle Database@AWS. This new service allows customers to access Oracle Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure and Oracle Exadata Database Service within AWS.
By integrating ORCL's services, AWS can enhance its cloud infrastructure, attracting more customers seeking robust database solutions. This strengthens AMZN's position in the cloud market, driving growth and broadening its service capabilities.
For the fiscal 2024 second quarter, which ended on June 30, AMZN's total net sales increased 10.1% year-over-year to $147.98 billion. Its <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/operatingincome.asp">operating income</a> rose 91% from the year-ago value to $14.67 billion.
Additionally, the company's net income amounted to $13.48 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 99.8%. Meanwhile, AMZN's EPS for the quarter grew 93.8% from the previous year's quarter to $1.26.
Analysts expect AMZN's revenue and EPS for the fiscal third quarter (ending September 2024) to increase 9.9% and 20.6% year-over-year to $157.18 billion and $1.13, respectively. In addition, the company topped the consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
Shares of AMZN have surged 4.5% over the past six months and 49.2% over the past year to close the last trading session at $187.97.
AMZN's bright prospects are reflected in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. The stock has an overall rating of B, which translates to a Buy in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 different factors, each weighted to an optimal degree.
