Over the past month, the stock fell by 11.13%, and in the past year, by 15.90%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742315418_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Ross Stores P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 24.04 in the Specialty Retail industry, Ross Stores Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 19.86. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742315418_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Telsey Advisory analyst Dana Telsey <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ROST/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a Market Perform</a> rating on the shares of Ross Stores Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROST#NASDAQ">ROST</a>) and lowered the price forecast from $175.00 to $150.00.
ROST <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44125245/ross-stores-reports-results-for-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported fourth-quarter EPS of $1.79</a>, slightly lower than last year&#8217;s $1.82 but above both the consensus estimate and guidance of $1.57 &#8211; $1.64.
The earnings beat was largely driven by a $0.14 one-time gain from the sale of a packaway facility. Sales decreased by 1.8% to $5.912 billion, slightly missing consensus.
Comps grew 3%, outperforming the 2.6% consensus. Gross margin contracted to 26.5%, below estimates, but better cost control led to an operating margin of 12.4%, beating expectations, said the analyst.
The analyst noted that ROST&#8217;s initial FY25 outlook falls short of expectations. Total sales are projected to grow 1% &#8211; 5%.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44143576/apples-latest-macbook-air-with-m4-chip-is-twice-as-fast-as-its-predecessor-with-lower-price" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple&#8217;s Latest MacBook Air With M4 Chip Is Twice As Fast As Its Predecessor With Lower Price</a>
FY25 EPS is estimated to be between $5.95 &#8211; $6.55, lower than the $6.32 reported in FY24 and below the consensus of $6.67.
ROST&#8217;s first-quarter FY25 guidance is also below expectations. Sales are projected to decline 1% to increase by 3%, compared to the prior consensus of a 6% rise, with comps expected to fall between -3% and 0%, below the consensus of 2.4%.
While the company saw growth in traffic and basket size, sales slowed toward the end of the fourth quarter and continued to decelerate into the first quarter due to unseasonable weather and an uncertain macro environment.
Given these challenges, the first-quarter and FY25 outlooks are conservative. The company faces pressure from shifts affecting its core lower-income customers.
As a result, the analyst has lowered FY25 sales growth outlook to 4.6% YoY growth to $22.09 billion (from up 5.7% to $22.33 billion prior). EPS estimate for FY25 has been moved down to $6.54 (vs. $6.70 previously).
Price Action: ROST shares are trading higher by 1.38% at $137.84 at last check Wednesday.

Ross Stores Faces Slower Growth With Shifts In Lower-Income Customers Preference, Says Analyst

The three major indices were mostly flat in midday trading Wednesday with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq slightly under the flatline and the Dow Jones<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44143660/howard-lutnick-says-president-definitely-thinks-theres-a-bitcoin-strategic-reserve"> up 39 points.&nbsp;</a>
Wall Street digested mixed economic data after the ISM Services PMI<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44143666/us-services-sector-unexpectedly-expands-in-february-despite-slowing-job-growth"> price index indicated</a> strong growth in the services sector, but the ADP employment report came in well below forecasts and added the fewest jobs in seven months.

The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note was at 4.23% on Wednesday, trimming declines from the morning after expansion in the services sector, reflected by the ISM PMI easing concerns on lower growth. However, yields remained near four-month lows touched earlier in the week.  The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 0.24%.
