TJX vs TSLA
TJX Companies Inc. (The) Common Stock vs Tesla Inc. Common Stock. Side-by-side ACCE scores, valuation, profitability, and growth.
$TJX wins this one
$TSLA scores 34/100 overall against $TJX's 54/100, and the underlying numbers explain why. Tesla's trailing P/E sits at 329.0 with a forward P/E of 181.8, while TJX trades at 24.9x trailing and 23.5x forward. That valuation gap is hard to justify when Tesla's earnings fell 3.0% year-over-year and net margin is just 3.7%. TJX, by contrast, grew earnings 23.6% on a 5.4% revenue increase and runs a 9.7% net margin with a 62.2% ROE. That ROE figure is the standout: it reflects a business generating serious returns on the capital it deploys.
$TJX's Quality score of 78/100 is the highest single sub-score in this comparison, and a 3.3% FCF yield backs it up. The 1.4% dividend adds a small but real income component Tesla offers nothing on.
$TSLA's 6-model fair value of $24.74 implies the stock trades at a 92.9% premium to modelled value. $TJX's $71.57 fair value is itself below the current $135.12 price, so neither is cheap on that measure. But TJX's profitability, valuation discipline, and earnings trajectory make it the clearer pick between the two.
