What the Analysts think about Ross
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Ross stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Ross stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Comparable sales rose 10% in the second quarter, driven mainly by customer traffic and gains among both new and existing shoppers. That points to strong demand for Ross’s value offer, not just higher prices. (PR Newswire)
Ross plans 115 new stores in 2026, and it has said newer locations are performing ahead of expectations. This adds a clear route to growth beyond sales gains at existing shops. (Retail Dive)
Even excluding the tariff refund, operating margin rose 205 basis points in Q2, ahead of Ross’s plan. The underlying improvement suggests better trading and cost execution, rather than the entire earnings jump being a one-off. (PR Newswire)
A $253 million tariff refund added about $0.60 to Q2 earnings per share, and the same one-off benefit is included in full-year guidance. Reported profit growth therefore overstates the earnings run-rate investors can expect to repeat. (PR Newswire)
Management expects comparable sales growth to ease to 6–7% in Q3 and 4–5% in Q4, while warning that year-on-year comparisons get much tougher in the second half. That points to slower momentum after an exceptionally strong first half. (PR Newswire)
Ross flagged higher fuel and freight costs, which can eat into the margin gains from stronger sales. This leaves earnings more exposed if transport costs rise or sales growth cools. (SEC)
