What the company does
TJX runs off-price apparel and home stores: T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods (US), Winners (Canada) and TK Maxx (Europe) — 5,000+ stores. It buys brand-name overstock cheaply and sells it at a discount.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

Figures from the company's filings (2026-07-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $156.53B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 18.1% of total assets (2026-07-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
