5 Must-See Earnings Charts This Week

1. The TJX Companies, Inc. (TJX)

The TJX Companies has beat on earnings 14 quarters in a row. It’s an earnings all-star. TJX’s last earnings miss was in 2022. That’s impressive for a retailer.

Shares of The TJX Companies are near their 5-year highs, up 20% year-to-date. It’s not cheap on a price-to-earnings (P/E) basis though. TJX trades at 32x forward earnings.

Will The TJX Companies beat again?

2. Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (LOW)

Lowe’s is an earnings all-star. It has a perfect 5-year record of beating on earnings. That’s impressive given that 5 years ago the world was still dealing with the pandemic.

Lowe’s is expected to grow earnings by 2.5% this year and 7.9% next year. But with consumers slowing their spending, will it hit earnings?

Lowe’s shares are down 11% year-to-date as the housing market remains weak.

Will Lowe’s beat again this quarter and will it matter for the stock?

3. Target Corp. (TGT)

Target has missed two quarters in a row. It has struggled in 2025. Earnings are expected to fall 16.8% this year.

Shares of Target are down 34% year-to-date and are near 5-year lows.

However, it trades with a forward P/E of just 12.

Will Target turn it around this quarter and post an earnings beat?

Will Palo Alto Networks beat again?

5. Walmart Inc. (WMT)

Walmart is coming off an earnings miss last quarter. However, Walmart had beat 12 of the last 13 quarters. It still has a great earnings surprise track record.

Shares of Walmart are up 12.2% year-to-date and are trading near all-time highs. However, Walmart isn’t cheap. It trades with a forward P/E of 39 while it’s expected to grow earnings just 4% this year.
