Ross Stores, Inc. (ROST)
Consumer Cyclical · Apparel - Retail · Data as of 2026-10-22
Bottom line
ROST is trading at a premium to its history, near its historical support zone, and recent volume suggests money flowing out. The picture is mixed, so it may be worth watching rather than acting on. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Trading at a premium (Red)
ROST trades at 28× earnings, roughly in line with its own 5-year average of 26× and above similar consumer cyclical companies we track (19×, 50 peers). Investors are currently paying more per dollar of earnings than usual. Its free-cash-flow yield is about 3.7%. Its current multiple sits around the 84th percentile of its own last five years — toward the high end of its own range.
Price zones — Near its historical support zone (Green)

一句话结论
ROST 相对自身历史处于溢价水平，接近其历史支撑区，近期成交量显示资金正在流出。整体情况好坏参半，也许更适合先观察，而不是急于行动。过去的形态并不能保证未来的结果。
估值 — 相对自身历史处于溢价水平
ROST 目前的市盈率为 28×，大致持平于其自身 5 年平均的 26×，并且高于我们追踪的同类Consumer Cyclical公司（19×，50 家）。投资者目前为每一美元盈利付出的价格高于以往。其自由现金流收益率约为 3.7%。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 84 百分位——处于自身区间的偏高位置。
价格区间 — 接近其历史支撑区
目前价格为 $236.67，接近其近期区间的下沿。过去一年 ROST 的价格在 $154.87 到 $257.00 之间波动；其历史支撑区在 $232.04 附近，阻力区在 $257.00 附近。它同时位于 50 日和 200 日均线上方，这在历史上通常对应上升趋势。
资金流向 — 资金正在流出
ROST 近期下跌日的成交量高于上涨日，这种形态常被称为派发。过去 30 个交易日，上涨日的成交量约为下跌日的 1.0×。
股息与公司概况
ROST 过去一年每股派息 1.74 美元，相当于当前股价的 0.74%，过去五年每年都有上调。它通过回购返还了更多：2025 财年回购 11.0亿美元，约占市值的 1.4%。
