Key Takeaways

  • Shares of TJX Cos. and Ross Stores were holding up better than some retail rivals Thursday in the wake of the latest Trump tariff news.
  • Citi analysts upgraded both retailers to a "buy" rating following the tariff news.
  • The analysts said the stores could benefit from consumers looking for value as prices rise across the economy.

Two discount retail shares managed to avoid the steeper dropoffs seen by some other big retailers in the wake of the Trump administration's latest tariffs.

TJX Cos. (TJX) shares edged higher in recent trading Thursday. Ross Stores (ROST) ticked a bit lower, but its decline was notably smaller than those of Target (TGT), Best Buy (BBY), and Five Below (FIVE), all of which were down more than 10%.

Citi analysts upgraded Ross and TJX, parent company of T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods, to "buy" ratings on Thursday. They lifted their price target on the latter stock to $140, in line with the Street's consensus according to Visible Alpha, from $128, saying the retailer is "as well positioned as ever."

"Tariffs are likely to create significant disruption in the [market], greatly increasing the availability of product available to off-pricers at attractive prices," the analysts wrote. "At the same time, a potentially weakening consumer environment will mean more consumers are likely to trade down to the off-price channel in search of value."
