About: Ross Stores operates as an off-price apparel and accessories retailer with the majority of its sales derived from its Ross Dress for Less banner. The company opportunistically procures excess brand-name merchandise made available via manufacturing overruns and retail liquidation sales at a 20%-60% discount to full prices. As such, its stores are often filled with a vast array of stock-keeping units, each with minimal product depth that creates a treasure hunt shopping experience. The firm's more than 1,800 Ross Dress for Less stores are primarily located in densely populated suburban communities and typically serve middle-income consumers. Ross also operates around 350 DD's Discounts chains targeting lower-income shoppers.

Ross Stores: Tariffs Add Another Huge Layer Of Uncertainty
I maintain a hold rating on Ross Stores due to persistent consumer weakness and new tariff headwinds impacting margins and earnings visibility. Despite a solid Q1'25 and strong April sales cadence, management's withdrawal of FY25 guidance signals ongoing uncertainty in demand and profitability. ROST's heavy reliance on Chinese imports exposes it to significant tariff risks, with mitigation strategies unlikely to offset near-term margin pressures.
