Bargain hunters flock to TJX

Date: Tuesday 12 Aug 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - TJX reported a rise in quarterly profit as weaker consumer confidence sent shoppers flocking to the discount fashion and homewares retailer.

Second quarter profits rose to $200m from $59m over the same period a year ago.

Much of the increase was due to the Framington, Massachusetts company reporting a charge related to a breach of IT security in the previous quarter, but the owner of chains including TJ Maxx and Homesense also benefited from rising same-store sales.
