TJX posts Q1 results, Trump campaign opens wallet for Facebook, Snap fills executive positions

Here are the companies Yahoo Finance is watching today.

A beat at TJX Companies (TJX). The parent company of TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods says same-store sales climbed 5% last quarter and sales topped estimates. The CEO says the results show the continued strength of its off-price retail model.

Facebook (FB) is raking in the cash from the Trump campaign. Company records show that the president's team has already spent nearly $5 million so far this year on Facebook ads. That's more than any other single Democratic candidate. Most of the Trump ads are geared toward older Americans, especially women.

Another leadership change at Snap (SNAP). The social media company has promoted two internal candidates as the new CFO and chief people officer. The slots had been vacant since last year, when the CFO left and the head of HR was forced out. With these new promotions, Snap has named 6 new top executives in the last 6 months.
