The TJX Cos., which operates discount stores including T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, today approved a share repurchase program of up to $1 billion.

At current prices, that represents about 7.5 percent of stock, the company said.

The authorization is in addition to the $486 million remaining under the company's current buyback program.

Since 1997, TJX, which is based in Framingham, has spent $5.8 billion buying back about 342 million shares. (AP)
