Investment thesis

Base case
Pressure on household budgets can increase demand for branded merchandise at compelling discounts. The base case remains conditional on low-income consumer pressure staying manageable.
Bull case
Pressure on household budgets can increase demand for branded merchandise at compelling discounts. Ross and dd's DISCOUNTS can add stores in underpenetrated U.S. markets. Vendor dislocation can create opportunistic branded buys and faster assortment turns.
Bear case
Rent, food and credit stress can crowd out apparel and home spending. Poor category choices or inventory imbalance can require markdowns and weaken traffic. Store wages, freight and theft can offset buying-margin benefits.

Q1 FY2026

Ross Stores' first-quarter update reflected value-focused demand and ongoing store expansion, with merchandising execution and cost discipline shaping profitability.
