How did same-store sales growth compare to market expectations?

Answer

The news release you provided only announces the date and time of TJ & J’s upcoming Q2 FY 2026 earnings call. It does not contain any details about the quarter’s actual results—such as the same‑store sales (comparable‑store) growth figure—or any commentary on what analysts or the market were expecting.

Because the information about:

  • the reported same‑store sales growth rate for Q2 FY 2026, and
  • the market’s consensus expectation for that metric

is absent from the announcement, we cannot determine from this source whether the company’s same‑store sales growth beat, met, or fell short of market expectations.

What to do next

To answer the question definitively, you would need to consult the actual earnings release (which will be issued on August 20, 2025) or look for analyst consensus estimates (e.g., from FactSet, Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters) that were published before the earnings announcement. Those documents will contain the reported same‑store sales growth figure and the market’s prior expectations, allowing a direct comparison.
