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: A Solid Earnings Report For A Moderately Expensive Stock

Ross Stores remains a high-quality business, but the stock continues to trade at a premium to my fair value estimate. Despite minimal share price decline since my last review, ROST has underperformed the S&P 500 over the same period. Recent Q2 earnings and updated free cash flow figures do not materially change my valuation outlook for the stock.
