Two long-established retailers—Macy’s and TJX Companies (the owner of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls)—announced dividend increases in recent weeks. The raises were sizable, and both companies also reported results that were relatively solid in their latest fiscal years, though their forward outlooks diverged.
Ahead of its latest earnings release, Macy’s said its shareholder payout would increase by 5%, bringing the quarterly dividend to just over $0.19 per share.
The company has been pursuing a “bold new chapter” strategy aimed at reducing its footprint by selling portions of its real estate holdings. The pace of transactions appears to be slowing: gains from these sales fell to $3 million in fiscal 2025, compared with $41 million in fiscal 2024.
With fewer stores to generate revenue, Macy’s net sales declined year over year in fiscal 2025, falling 2.4% to $21.8 billion. However, comparable sales rose 1.5%, marking a return to annual growth. On profitability, Macy’s reported net income of $643 million (or $2.32 per share) on a non-GAAP basis, down 14% from the prior year.
Macy’s outlook was less encouraging. For fiscal 2026, the company forecast revenue of $21.4 billion to under $21.7 billion. Comparable sales are expected to range from a decline of 0.5% to a gain of 0.5% versus the prior year. Adjusted net income per share is projected at $1.90 to $2.10.
The dividend increase is scheduled to be paid on April 1 to investors of record as of March 13. At the most recent closing price referenced in the article, the dividend yield is about 4.2%, placing it in a higher-yield dividend category.
TJX Companies’ dividend increase was larger in percentage terms. At the end of March, the company announced a 13% dividend raise, lifting the quarterly payout to $0.48 per share. The article notes this would be TJX’s 29th dividend increase in the last 30 years.
TJX’s announcement came after its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings release covering fiscal 2026. Comparable sales rose 5% during the year, supporting net sales growth of 7% over fiscal 2025 to nearly $60.4 billion. GAAP net income increased 13% to almost $5.5 billion, or $4.87 per share.
The article attributes TJX’s performance to consumer demand for discounted options amid tariffs and inflation pressures. Looking ahead, management guided for more modest fiscal 2027 results, forecasting comparable sales growth of 2% to 3% and per-share net income of $4.93 to $5.02.
Investors sold out of TJX following the earnings report, with the guidance cited as a key reason. The dividend increase is set to take effect with the next payment scheduled for June 4, for stockholders of record as of May 14. Based on the article’s figures, the $0.48 per share would imply a theoretical yield of about 1.2%.
