"TJX's Marmaxx slowdown looks more significant to us than a typical merchandising miss," analyst Corey Tarlowe wrote.

He noted that comparable sales at the division, which accounts for more than 60% of sales and nearly 70% of EBIT, slowed to 1% from 6%, the weakest showing since fiscal 2018, excluding the pandemic.
