The EarningsWatcher Lens on TJX
Where the priced move sits. Options price ±6.9%. Against TJX's own ten-year record of earnings-day peak moves, that is above the median (±5.2%) but inside what the last ten years treated as ordinary — the 80th-percentile line is ±7.5%.
Recent versus long history. For TJX, the last two years (±4.7%) look much like the last ten (±5.5%). Today's priced move is above both averages.
The base rate. In the 17 TJX reports with a recorded implied move, the realised peak exceeded what options had priced 8 times (47%) — close to a coin flip — neither side of the volatility trade has had a structural edge. That is a description of the past, not a forecast of this print.
The last print. Aug 19, 2026: options priced ±4.0%; the stock closed -4.2% with an intraday peak of -5.9% — outside the priced range.
What this does not say. None of the above carries a direction. The implied move is the size of the move options are pricing, in either direction, and the history is how big past moves were — not which way the next one goes.
