Ross Stores

Methodology

Ross Stores' off-price retail model generates relatively stable earnings from treasure hunt shopping appeal and value positioning. Economic sensitivity exists but the value proposition provides resilience. The calculation works reasonably well for this off-price retailer with proven execution and steady new store expansion opportunities.

Methodology

Ross typically commands premium PEG ratios reflecting defensive off-price positioning, consistent execution, and steady store growth potential. While growth appears modest, the business model resilience and market share opportunities justify valuations. Compare to TJX Companies and Ross's historical range rather than traditional department stores or specialty retailers.

Methodology

Ross offers a meaningful dividend with consistent growth supported by stable cash generation from the off-price model. The dividend adds value to total returns for this defensive retailer. PEGY better captures why investors value Ross for combining steady comparable store growth with reliable dividend income.
