BofA Securities analyst Lorraine Hutchinson maintains $Ross Stores (ROST.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $180.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 54.6% and a total average return of 3.7% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Ross Stores (ROST.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Despite a shortfall in top line revenue, Ross Stores managed to post third quarter earnings per share of $1.48, surpassing the expected $1.40. The primary challenge to earnings per share in 2024 has been merchandise margin pressures, anticipated to notably lessen in 2025. This easing of margin pressures could pave the way for another year of margin expansion beyond the long-term forecast the following year. However, it's crucial for Ross to demonstrate that its refocused merchandise strategy can begin to bridge the multi-year gap in same-store sales growth compared to its competitors, which might help narrow the valuation gap with TJX.
Ross Stores delivered earnings per share ahead of consensus, despite a slight shortfall in comparable-store sales attributed to weather challenges and some execution setbacks, as observed in softer performance checks throughout the quarter. Trends have shown improvement following the dissipation of weather-related headwinds. Furthermore, the company's guidance for the fourth fiscal quarter suggests an expected acceleration, signaling a positive outlook based on management's proven track record.

美银证券分析师Lorraine Hutchinson维持$罗斯百货 (ROST.US)$买入评级，维持目标价180美元。
根据TipRanks数据显示，该分析师近一年总胜率为54.6%，总平均回报率为3.7%。
此外，综合报道，$罗斯百货 (ROST.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
尽管收入不足，但罗斯百货还是设法公布了第三季度每股收益1.48美元，超过了预期的1.40美元。2024年每股收益面临的主要挑战是商品利润压力，预计到2025年将显著减轻。利润压力的缓解可能为第二年的利润率在长期预测之外再扩大一年的铺平道路。但是，罗斯必须证明其重新调整的商品战略可以开始弥合与竞争对手相比多年来同店销售增长的差距，这可能有助于缩小与TJX的估值差距。
正如整个季度业绩检查疲软所观察到的那样，由于天气挑战和一些执行挫折，同类门店的销售额略有下降，但罗斯百货的每股收益仍未达到共识。在与天气相关的不利因素消散之后，趋势有所改善。此外，该公司对第四财季的指导表明了预期的加速，这表明根据管理层良好的往绩记录，前景乐观。
