Have you been paying attention to shares of Ross Stores (ROST)? Shares have been on the move with the stock up 12.1% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $240.51 in the previous session. Ross Stores has gained 32.7% since the start of the year compared to the 0.7% gain for the Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector and the 14.1% return for the Zacks Retail - Discount Stores industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?

The stock has a great record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on May 21, 2026, Ross Stores reported EPS of $2.02 versus consensus estimate of $1.7.

For the current fiscal year, Ross Stores is expected to post earnings of $7.74 per share on $24.81 in revenues. This represents a 17.1% change in EPS on a 9.06% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $8.48 per share on $26.24 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 9.55% and 5.73%, respectively.

Valuation Metrics

Though Ross Stores has recently hit a 52-week high, what is next for Ross Stores? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

Ross Stores has a Value Score of D. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are A and C, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of B.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 30.9X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is a premium to the peer industry average of 29.3X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 29.1X versus its peer group's average of 22X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 2.69. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.

Zacks Rank

We also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, Ross Stores currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to rising earnings estimates.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Ross Stores fits the bill. Thus, it seems as though Ross Stores shares could still be poised for more gains ahead.

How Does ROST Stack Up to the Competition?

Shares of ROST have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is The TJX Companies, Inc. (TJX). TJX has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value Score of D, a Growth Score of A, and a Momentum Score of B.

Earnings were strong last quarter. The TJX Companies, Inc. beat our consensus estimate by 17.82%, and for the current fiscal year, TJX is expected to post earnings of $5.17 per share on revenue of $63.9 billion.

Shares of The TJX Companies, Inc. have gained 14.2% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 32.57X and a P/CF of 27.5X.

The Retail - Discount Stores industry is in the top 27% of all the industries we have in our universe, so it looks like there are some nice tailwinds for ROST and TJX, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.

2 S&P 500 Stocks Worth Investigating and 1 Facing Headwinds

The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is often seen as a benchmark for strong businesses, but that doesn't mean every stock is worth owning. Some companies face significant challenges, whether it's stagnating growth, heavy debt, or disruptive new competitors.

Picking the right S&P 500 stocks requires more than just buying big names, and that's where StockStory comes in. That said, here are two S&P 500 stocks that could deliver good returns and one that may struggle.

One Stock to Sell:

IQVIA (IQV)

Created from the 2016 merger of Quintiles (a clinical research organization) and IMS Health (a healthcare data specialist), IQVIA (NYSE:IQV) provides clinical research services, data analytics, and technology solutions to help pharmaceutical companies develop and market medications more effectively.

Why Are We Hesitant About IQV?

Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 5.1% over the last two years was below our standards for the healthcare sector Underwhelming constant currency revenue performance over the past two years suggests its product offering at current prices doesn't resonate with customers Free cash flow margin has shown no improvement over the last five years

At $181.03 per share, IQVIA trades at 13.9x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than IQV.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Ross Stores (ROST)

Market Cap: $76.7 billion

Selling excess inventory or overstocked items from other retailers, Ross Stores (NASDAQ:ROST) is an off-price concept that sells apparel and other goods at prices much lower than department stores.

Why Are We Backing ROST?

Same-store sales growth lends it the confidence to gradually expand its store base so it can reach more customers Same-store sales growth averaged 5.4% over the past two years, showing it's bringing new and repeat shoppers into its stores Stellar returns on capital showcase management's ability to surface highly profitable business ventures

Ross Stores is trading at $240.20 per share, or 2.9x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it's free.

United Rentals (URI)

Market Cap: $66.94 billion

DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. DKS started fiscal 2026 on a strong note, delivering a 6% increase in comparable sales in the first quarter, well ahead of many retail peers. The performance was fueled by a 5.5% increase in average ticket and a modest rise in transactions, highlighting both healthy consumer demand and the company's ability to drive higher spending per visit. Management noted that growth was broad-based across footwear, apparel and hardlines, reinforcing the strength of the DICK'S brand and its ability to gain share in a competitive sporting goods landscape.

The numbers behind the quarter underscore the consistency of DICK'S Sporting's growth story. Comparable sales increased 6%, building on a 10.5% two-year stacked comp increase and a 15.8% three-year stacked comp increase. The company also added approximately 1.5 million new athletes to its customer database during the quarter. Notably, management reported no signs of consumer trade-down behavior across income groups, with customers continuing to spend on both premium and value-oriented products. These trends suggest that DICK'S Sporting is benefiting from strong brand loyalty and continued market-share gains.

Several strategic initiatives are helping support this momentum. The company's experiential retail concepts, including House of Sport and Field House, continue to generate strong traffic, customer engagement and profitability. At the same time, DICK'S Sporting is expanding its digital ecosystem through GameChanger, the DICK'S Media Network and the upcoming AI-powered Coach by DICK'S platform. These investments are creating additional touchpoints with athletes while strengthening the company's omnichannel capabilities and long-term competitive positioning.

Looking ahead, management raised the lower end of its comparable-sales guidance for fiscal 2026 to 2.5%-4%, reflecting confidence in the core DICK'S business despite ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. While higher supply-chain costs and integration expenses related to Foot Locker remain headwinds, the company continues to benefit from strong merchandise assortments, growing private brands and favorable customer engagement trends. The key question for investors is whether DICK'S Sporting can sustain its market-share gains and comp momentum as comparisons become tougher in the second half of the year.

DKS' Zacks Rank & Share Price Performance

Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have gained 8.7% in the past three months compared with the broader Retail-Wholesale sector's 2.9% rise and the S&P 500's 11% growth. However, the industry has lost 18% during the same timeframe.

Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROST) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed during Mad Money, as he highlighted a difficult backdrop for stocks. Cramer discussed the stock during the episode, as he remarked:

Improved marketing brings customers into the stores. Once they’re there, they find better merchandising than they remember and a better in-store experience that converts to better sales, which in turn lets Ross invest more in merchandising, marketing, and fixing up the stores. That’s why I think the stock can keep running. I don’t expect Ross to keep putting up 17% same stores sales. That’s too hard. But I do expect solid results. And as the numbers get better, management can start focusing on expanding their footprint.

The company has just under 2,300 stores between its two brands. Conroy thinks they can have 3600. That’d be big. Valuation-wise, Ross Stores now trades at 29 times this year’s earnings estimates, up from 23 times earnings when Conroy took over. And yes, it’s a bit rich for a retailer on an absolute basis, no doubt about it, but let’s be, why don’t we be a little more, let’s say, comparative. I don’t think it’s that… expensive because TJX sells for like 31 times earnings.

Plus, given the recent track record here, it wouldn’t shock me if Ross keeps beating the numbers, which will make the stock look a lot cheaper in retrospect. Here’s the bottom line: The off-price space is one of the few areas of retail that’s really working here. And while TJX is my long-term favorite, no doubt about it, I gotta say, Jim Conroy is doing, he’s doing an incredible job at Ross Stores, and that stock’s absolutely worth owning. I wish I could own two off-prices because that’s what I’d really like to do. But that seems to be not all that diversified as I tell you to be.

How much a stock's price changes over time is important for most investors, since price performance can both impact your investment portfolio and help you compare investment results across sectors and industries.

Another factor that can influence investors is FOMO, or the fear of missing out, especially with tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks.

What if you'd invested in Ross Stores (ROST) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to ROST for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?

Ross Stores' Business In-Depth

With that in mind, let's take a look at Ross Stores' main business drivers.

Based in Dublin, CA, Ross Stores Inc. operates as an off-price retailer of apparel and home accessories, primarily in the United States. The company operates its stores under the Ross Dress for Less (Ross) and dd’s DISCOUNTS names. The company’s stores are located mostly in community and neighborhood shopping centers in heavily populated urban and suburban areas.

Ross Stores primarily offers in-season, branded, and designer apparel, footwear, accessories and other home-related merchandise for everyone in the family. This format primarily targets middle-income households. Prices offered at Ross are generally 20% to 60% below the regular prices of most department and specialty stores.

dd’s DISCOUNTS features more moderately-priced first-quality, in-season, name brand apparel, accessories, footwear, and home fashions for the entire family. These stores target moderate-income households. The dd’s DISCOUNTS stores offer products at a 20% to 70% lesser price than the moderate department and discount stores.

Ross Stores remains focused with its store expansion initiatives over the years. Further, the company’s efforts to expand base by making efforts to increase penetration in the existing as well as new markets.

As of May 2, 2026, the company operated a total of 2,282 stores, including 1,917 Ross Dress for Less stores in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico, and 365 dd's DISCOUNTS locations across 22 states.

Bottom Line

Putting together a successful investment portfolio takes a combination of research, patience, and a little bit of risk. For Ross Stores, if you bought shares a decade ago, you're likely feeling really good about your investment today.

A $1000 investment made in June 2016 would be worth $4,254.82, or a 325.48% gain, as of June 9, 2026, according to our calculations. Investors should note that this return excludes dividends but includes price increases.

Story Continues

In comparison, the S&P 500's gained 249.47% and the price of gold went up 229.47% over the same time frame.

Analysts are forecasting more upside for ROST too.

Ross Stores' shares have outperformed the industry in the past six months, reflecting strong execution of its off-price retail model. The company continues to benefit from solid demand for value-driven merchandise, delivering 21% sales growth and 17% comps growth in first-quarter fiscal 2026, supported by effective merchandising and marketing initiatives. Ross Stores is also progressing well on store-expansion plans, with long-term growth potential across both banners, targeting 2,900 Ross Dress for Less and 700 dd's DISCOUNTS stores. For fiscal 2026, ROST expects comps growth of 6-7%, with earnings of $7.50-$7.74, up 13-17% year over year. Solid financial flexibility, disciplined capital allocation and ongoing share repurchases highlight ROST's commitment to shareholder returns, underscoring a robust business for continued growth.

The stock has jumped 6.00% over the past four weeks. Additionally, no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 7 higher, for fiscal 2026; the consensus estimate has moved up as well.

Die breite Börsenmärkte haben in der vergangenen Woche eine intensive Volatilität erlebt, indem sie auf der einen Seite Rekordhöhen erreichten und auf der anderen Seite plötzlich stark fielen, während die Kämpfe im Iran-U.S.-Krieg weitergingen. Als Ölpreise um den Wert schwankten, stiegen Anleihezinssätze und Aktienmärkte erlitten einen Schlag, da sich Investoren wegen steigender Inflation Sorgen machten. Doch die Märkte kehrten schnell zurück, als Investoren aus Chipnamen in Richtung Nicht-Technologie-Aktien wechselten, trotz eines AI-infusierten inhärenten Markterfolgs. Der Iran-Blockade und Einschränkungen im Hafen von Hormuz fügten weiterhin dem Börsenschmerz zu, mit Unsicherheit als Tagesordnungspunkt. Während Investoren in einem klassischen Beispiel des "Rückwärts- und Füllen" im Markt warten und sehen, können sie von "Cash-Cow"-Aktien profitieren, die höhere Renditen erzielen.

Ist ROST ein guter Aktienkauf? Wir haben einen bullischen Thesis auf LongYield's Substack entdeckt. In diesem Artikel werden wir die Bullen-Thesis zu ROST zusammenfassen. Ross Stores, Inc.'s Aktie handelte sich am 29. Mai bei $231,73. ROST's Trailing- und Forward-P/E betrugen 32,36 bzw. 30,96 gemäß Yahoo Finance.

Ross Stores, Inc., zusammen mit seinen Tochtergesellschaften, betreibt off-price-Retailer für Bekleidung und Heimtextilien unter den Marken Ross Dress for Less und dd's DISCOUNTS in den USA. ROST hat ein historisches Q1 FY2027 erreicht, was eine starke Rezession seiner off-price-Modell mit einem Vergleichsverkaufswachstum von 17% und EPS von $2,02 bedeutet, die deutlich über Erwartungen liegen.

Der Quartal zeigte beschleunigten Bedarf für sein Schatzsucher-Retail-Format als breit gefächerte Kundenwachstumsacross Einkommensgruppen verstärkten strukturelle Stärke in der Dispositionsspende Handel abwärts gegenüber Wertfokussierten Händlern.

Die Margenleistung verbesserte sich mit einer Erweiterung des Betriebsgewinns um 120 Basispunkte auf 13,4%, getrieben durch Merchandise-Margengewinne, Mietvertragsvorteile und disziplinierte Kostenabsorption. Die Führung erhöhte die volle-Jahres-Leitlinie auf $7,50-$7,74 EPS und 6-7% Vergleichsverkaufswachstum, spiegelt Vertrauen in anhaltende Verkehrsmomentum trotz erwarteter Milderung von Q1's außergewöhnlichen Komparativen Basis aus.

Die Firma's Zoll-getriebene Inventarüberhang in globalen Bekleidungsbranchen schuf ungewöhnlich reiche Schließmöglichkeiten, verstärkte einen strukturellen Tailwind für ihr off-price-Kauf- und Packaway-Inventarsystem.

Während Q2-Leitlinien einige Abkühlung implizieren, setzt sich der Markt fort, Ross als hochwertige Komponierer zu bewerten, die von sowohl Verbraucherausweitung als auch Lieferkettenstörungen in Gunst off-price-Händler profitiert. Jenseits des Kernbanner dd's DISCOUNTS expandiert weiterhin schnell mit geplantem Beschleunigung in Ladenöffnungen, stärkt Exposition zu niedrigverdienenden Verbrauchern unter anhaltender Inflationsdruck und schafft einen zusätzlichen langfristigen Wachstumsvektor innerhalb des breiteren Ross-Portfolios.

Insgesamt steht Ross Stores als strukturell begünstigter off-price-Führer hervor, mit verbesserten Verkehrstrends, erweiterten Margen, einer resilienten Wertproposition und einem günstigen Makro-Hintergrund, was das Unternehmen für anhaltende Gewinnwachstum und eine mögliche Rerating als Investoren die Dauerhaftigkeit seines Earnings-Potenzials überprüfen.
