Description: ROST Ross Stores September 29, 2025

Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROST) operates a network of off-price retail locations under the Ross Dress for Less and dd’s DISCOUNTS banners, selling apparel, accessories, footwear, and home-fashion items primarily to middle-income and lower-to-moderate-income households across the United States. The company was founded in 1957 and is headquartered in Dublin, California.

As of FY 2023, Ross generated approximately $19.5 billion in revenue, delivering a comparable-store sales growth of 4.8% and an operating margin of roughly 15%, both above the average for the broader apparel retail sector. The chain’s inventory turnover rate of 5.2 × per year reflects efficient stock management, a critical lever for maintaining low price points.

Key macro drivers for Ross include the resilience of the off-price segment during periods of elevated inflation, as price-sensitive consumers shift spend toward discount retailers. Additionally, the ongoing shortage of affordable housing inventory supports demand for home-fashion items, while the U.S. consumer confidence index remains a leading indicator of discretionary spending trends.
