Ross Stores, Inc. (ROST)
Consumer Cyclical · Apparel - Retail · Data as of 2026-09-01
Bottom line
ROST is trading at a premium to its history, near its historical resistance zone, and recent volume suggests money flowing out. Historically, this combination has called for extra caution. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Trading at a premium (Red)
ROST trades at 27× earnings, roughly in line with its own 5-year average of 26× and above similar consumer cyclical companies we track (21×, 50 peers). Investors are currently paying more per dollar of earnings than usual. Its free-cash-flow yield is about 3.8%. Its current multiple sits around the 77th percentile of its own last five years — toward the high end of its own range.
Price zones — Near its historical resistance zone (Red)
At $229.24, the stock is close to the upper end of its recent range. Over the past year ROST has traded between $143.39 and $257.00; its historical support zone sits near $211.56 and resistance near $234.10. It is above one of its moving averages and below the other — a mixed trend picture.
52-week range $143.39–$257.00 · 50-day average $234.10 · 200-day average $211.56
Money flow — Money is flowing out (Red)
Recent trading in ROST shows more volume on falling days than rising days, a pattern often described as distribution. Volume on up days has been about 1.0× volume on down days over the last 30 sessions.

一句话结论
ROST 相对自身历史处于溢价水平，接近其历史阻力区，近期成交量显示资金正在流出。从历史来看，这样的组合需要格外谨慎。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 27×，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（21×，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 3.8%。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 77 百分位——处于自身区间的偏高位置。
价格区间 — 接近其历史阻力区
目前价格为 $229.24，接近其近期区间的上沿。过去一年 ROST 的价格在 $143.39 到 $257.00 之间波动；其历史支撑区在 $211.56 附近，阻力区在 $234.10 附近。它位于其中一条均线上方、另一条下方——趋势信号并不一致。
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×。
