“We had a very strong finish to 2023 and start the new year in a position of strength with the first quarter off to a good start. We are energized and laser-focused on capitalizing on our opportunities for the year ahead and, as always, we’ll strive to beat our plans. Longer term, we are excited about the potential we see to strategically grow our business, capture additional market share, and increase the profitability of our Company,” said TJX’s CEO Ernie Herrman.
