Indigestion for stocks.

Interesting companies reporting earnings this week.

Incredible gains this year from unlikely companies.

Let's dive in to find out right now on Motley Full Money.

I'm Rick Minars, and today I'm joined by fellow analysts Alicia Alfieri and Jason Hall with a look at what's eating at restaurant stocks this summer. We'll also look at some of the more

surprising companies that have more than doubled this year. But first, it's still earning season.

A lot of familiar names are stepping up with fresh financials this week. A lot of obscure ones, too, of course. I want to go around the room to see if there's a company that has your eye, if not your heart, reporting quarterly results this week. Let's start with you, Jason. Yeah, so TJX companies, it's definitely got my eye, a little bit of my heart, but none of my wallet yet because of valuation. But TJX companies, it's a parent company of TJ Max, Marshalls, home goods, other clothing and home furnishing retailers,

reports Wednesday morning. And I'll be honest with you, Rick. I think besides Costco,

TJX may be the best retailer in the U.S. It is exceptional.

It's two really important things. The one that doesn't get enough credit from the average

person or investor is how good of a buyer it is. It's like the release valve for excess inventory for manufacturers, other retailers and distributors. It's really good at getting great deals on the cost side of buying that. But here's the thing. The actual hardest part is getting that merchandise in the right stores and the right markets to move it quickly and then turn it into more cash than it paid for it.

It's exceptional if that part of its business model is the treasure hunt experience.

They cater both to people that have plenty of extra disposable income that are looking for

that great deal, but also just the regular people that are looking

for value for name brand products at extremely low costs. And that combined expertise is a savvy

buyer and extremely efficient retail operator results in great margins. It keeps customers coming in

across economic environments. If you look, last quarter, comps were up 3%.

As customers are spending more money, you look at most of the competition and discount retail.

You see the other thing, comps are shrinking, people are coming in less and spending less.

I'm really interested to see if TjX can continue in operating so well in what's really a challenging

environment for discount retail.
