ROST--
Ross Stores has a history of meeting or exceeding Wall Street’s revenue estimates, but it has missed the mark three times over the past two years [2]. This quarter, analysts expect the company to continue its trend of slower growth compared to the same period last year, when revenue increased by 7.1% [2].
The company’s stock has been trading at an average analyst price target of $153.76, slightly above the current share price of $148.20 [2]. Ross Stores has been navigating challenges such as tariff headwinds, inflation, and cautious consumer spending on discretionary items. However, the company has shown resilience through its off-price retail model and micro-merchandising strategy, which optimize inventory allocation and align with regional consumer preferences [1].
Despite the challenges, Ross Stores has maintained a strong business model, driving higher traffic and boosting same-store sales growth. The company’s ability to offer value-driven bargains continues to resonate with price-conscious consumers [1].
Ross Stores has withdrawn its fiscal 2025 sales and earnings guidance due to ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. The company has forecast a fiscal second-quarter EPS of $1.40-$1.55, down from the $1.59 reported in the prior-year period, largely due to the impacts of announced tariffs [1].
Investors will closely watch Ross Stores’ Q2 earnings report to gauge the company’s ability to navigate the current economic environment and its strategy for mitigating tariff-related costs. The results will provide insights into the company’s financial performance and future prospects.
