TODAY'S CHARTS: TJX disappoints, Home Depot gets a hurricane boost, and Dick's big warning

Welcome to a very special retail edition of charts of the day, and it’s not all bad news.

Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS) topped Street forecasts for sales and profits, however, the sporting goods retailer said 2018 earnings could drop as much as 20%. The stock is off 6.7% on the news.

TJX Companies (TJX), parent of discount retailers TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods, reported flat same store sales that were below Street expectations for a 2.4% increase. Guidance from the retailer also disappointed, with projected fourth quarter EPS of $1.25 to $1.27 versus the $1.27 consensus.

Finally, Home Depot (HD) beat on earnings and same-store sales (after a big boost from hurricane related spending), and the home improvement retailer raised its full-year guidance. After releasing earnings, the stock was up 2%, then fell 3% and is now trading up 0.75%.
