We recently published a list of 10 Jim Cramer Stocks to Buy and Sell Now. In this article, we are going to take a look at where The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TJX) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed.

Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC talked about President Donald Trump’s attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and said he was expecting this to happen “weeks ago.” Cramer said that he “likes” Powell and thinks the central bank chief is now in a difficult situation. Cramer thinks it’d be “illegal” for Trump to fire Powell.

“The Federal Reserve never cuts rates when inflation’s out of control, which it very well could be once the tariffs are all in. I think the Fed chief wants to find out if that’s going to happen. I like Powell, you know that. I think he’s generally done a good job, a good public servant. Unfortunately, right now, he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now, history says he should be doing exactly what he’s doing, but history is now in the eye of the beholder, and there’s only one beholder in this whole country, and it ain’t J. Powell.”

Cramer said that tariffs will result in higher prices, and that will in turn make the central bank’s job difficult because it cannot cut rates when prices are going up.

The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TJX)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 63

Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC recommended investors to buy The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TJX).

“TJ Maxx, I love TJ Maxx. I mean, come on, I bought some last week for the Charitable Trust. I think it’s terrific. I think it’s going right back to 125.”

Bretton Fund stated the following regarding The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TJX) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:

“Pre-pandemic, The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TJX) and Ross were usually in lockstep operationally and performance-wise. The main difference is TJX is much larger and has more divisions: TJ Maxx has higher-end goods; Marshalls has lower price points and is very similar to Ross; HomeGoods and Homesense offer furniture and household goods. But as inflation spiked up, TJX was better able to push through price increases, helped in part due to its relatively higher-income shoppers being less sensitive to inflation. TJX’s earnings growth and share price have outperformed Ross the past few years, but we expect that to converge in the near term. TJX’s and Ross’s earnings increased an estimated 9% and 11%, respectively, and their stocks returned 31% and 10%.”

Overall, TJX ranks 4th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discussed. While we acknowledge the potential of TJX as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
