When Barron\u2019s<\/em> recently recommended
\n TJX Cos.
\n stock, we ticked off multiple reasons: low valuation, strong value reputation, a growing dividend. Now, we have another:
\n Bed Bath & Beyond\u2019s<\/span>
\n bankruptcy, which underscores a retail pecking order that increasingly favors the strongest operators.<\/p>\n

Bed Bath\u2019s filing was no surprise. Barron\u2019s<\/em> warned of a bankruptcy last summer. For now, Bed Bath stores will stay open as the company explores its options, including selling itself or closing. Rivals in the short term may feel pressure on sales as bargain hunters buy discounted merchandise, though few industry watchers expect a rescue.<\/p>\n

\n

One company\u2019s demise is another\u2019s opportunity. TJX could pick up lots of Bed Bath\u2019s former sales, argues Bernstein analyst Aneesha Sherman, who notes that only a fifth of Bed Bath\u2019s sales was purely online: the rest involve a store visit, even if just for curbside pickup. She believes that \u201cshare will remain offline as consumers maintain their existing shopping habits.\u201d Some 80% of Bed Bath stores are within five miles of TJX\u2019s T.J. Maxx or HomeGoods outlets. Like Bed Bath, these stores \u201cattract a mainstream\/value customer; offer a meaningful mix of home d\u00e9cor, furnishings, and small appliances; and are located in similar off-mall plaza\/strip mall sites,\u201d she writes. If Bed Bath liquidates, off-price retailers like TJX will scoop up cheap inventory.<\/p>\n

Bed Bath\u2019s market share has slipped, limiting TJX\u2019s gains. Sherman estimates that capturing 10% to 15% of its roughly $5.5 billion in 2022 sales would boost TJX revenue by some $700 million. She rates TJX shares at Outperform with an $88 price target; TJX was trading on Friday at just over $78, up 0.31% for the week. <\/p>\n
