What The TJX Companies, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
TJX's most-weighted disclosure is trade policy: it is exposed to tariffs on imports from China and other countries, and flags that on February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated IEEPA-based tariffs — a ruling that may let it recover previously paid amounts but leaves the timing and administration of any refunds uncertain. Its other exposures are smaller and lower-severity: a significant retail presence in Europe, Canada and Australia creates currency sensitivity, with a hypothetical 10% move worth about $132 million of fiscal 2026 pre-tax income, and it relies on vendors to supply law- and code-compliant merchandise, which they have not always done.
3 self-disclosed vulnerabilities, pulled from its own filings, each in the company’s words, with the source. This is the risk register almost nobody reads.
In its own words
What could break it.
Regulatory & policy
- tariffs on imports from China/other countries; Feb 2026 Supreme Court IEEPA invalidation + refund uncertaintymedium
TJX is exposed to tariffs on imports from China and other countries, which have driven significant global-economy volatility; on February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated IEEPA-based tariffs, which may allow recovery of previously paid amounts but leaves timing/administration uncertain.
“On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). This ruling may allow for the recovery of IEEPA tariff amounts previously paid. The ruling leaves uncertainties regarding the timing and administration of any potential IEEPA tariff refunds by the U.S. government”
Geographic concentration
- international operations in Europe, Canada and Australia; FX sensitivity ~$132M per 10% movelow

“The analysis indicated a potential impact of approximately $132 million on our pre-tax income in fiscal 2026 and approximately $112 million in fiscal 2025.”
