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.

美銀證券分析師Lorraine Hutchinson維持$羅斯百貨 (ROST.US)$買入評級，維持目標價180美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為54.6%，總平均回報率為3.7%。
此外，綜合報道，$羅斯百貨 (ROST.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
儘管收入不足，但羅斯百貨還是設法公佈了第三季度每股收益1.48美元，超過了預期的1.40美元。2024年每股收益面臨的主要挑戰是商品利潤壓力，預計到2025年將顯著減輕。利潤壓力的緩解可能爲第二年的利潤率在長期預測之外再擴大一年的鋪平道路。但是，羅斯必須證明其重新調整的商品戰略可以開始彌合與競爭對手相比多年來同店銷售增長的差距，這可能有助於縮小與TJX的估值差距。
正如整個季度業績檢查疲軟所觀察到的那樣，由於天氣挑戰和一些執行挫折，同類門店的銷售額略有下降，但羅斯百貨的每股收益仍未達到共識。在與天氣相關的不利因素消散之後，趨勢有所改善。此外，該公司對第四財季的指導表明了預期的加速，這表明根據管理層良好的往績記錄，前景樂觀。
