Ross Stores and TJX Companies are among the companies reporting quarterly results this week that have earnings momentum at their backs. Although just 14 stocks in the S & P 500 are on the docket to report earnings in the coming week, it will still be an important one for the season. Retailers are set to make a big showing, but artificial intelligence darling Nvidia will be the week’s headliner. CNBC Pro screened data from FactSet to identify the S & P 500 companies reporting results this week that have seen accelerated earnings momentum lately. The stocks in the below table had to meet the following criteria: Earnings estimates revised up by at least 10% in the past three and six months Have an average analyst price target implying upside of at least 10% Retailers TJX Companies and Ross Stores are two stocks seeing improved earnings estimates. The companies report quarterly results on Wednesday and Thursday , respectively. Shares of TJX Companies have slipped 4% in 2026, while Ross Stores has gained 18%. On Friday, Deutsche Bank reiterated its buy rating on both stocks ahead of their earnings reports. “ROST’s [same-store sales] momentum continues to defy expectations, with strong post-holiday trends seemingly continuing through April despite noise from the Easter shift. We continue to see positive consumer feedback from ROST’s merchandising and advertising improvements, which appear to be helping sustain outsized transaction growth,” wrote analyst Krisztina Katai. Katai’s $253 price target for the stock represents an upside of about 19%. As for TJX, the analyst said the following: “We believe TJX sets up favorably into EPS given its recent underperformance vs. peers (-2.2% YTD vs. ROST +20.8% and BURL flat) and broader retail sentiment trending lower.” “We believe TJX’s resilient ‘treasure hunt’ business model (alongside a more aggressive marketing cadence this year) is well positioned to sustain share gains across income cohorts, and suspect that a status-quo update from management could help ignite a relief rally across the sector,” Katai added. The analyst’s $182 price target implies that shares of TJX could rise 23% from here. Other stocks on the list include Keysight Technologies and Nordson Corporation .
