Ross Stores Inc (ROST) Financials
Key financial figures for Ross Stores Inc (Q2 2027).
Ross Stores posted Q2 FY2026 EPS of $2.66 on 13% sales growth and 10% comparable store sales growth, well above its own guidance of $1.85-$1.93, aided by roughly $253 million in IEEPA tariff refunds recognized during the quarter. Total sales rose 13% year over year to $6.3 billion, with comparable store sales up 10%, driven primarily by customer traffic (on top of a 2% comp gain in the prior-year quarter). Diluted EPS was $2.66 versus $1.56 a year ago; management flagged that roughly $0.60 of that per-share figure came from approximately $253 million in IEEPA tariff refunds recognized in the quarter, so underlying growth was still strong but smaller than the headline print. On the outlook: Ross raised full-year fiscal 2026 diluted EPS guidance to $8.61-$8.77 (including an approximate $0.60 per-share benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds recognized in Q2); for Q3 FY2026 it guides comparable store sales growth of 6%-7% and diluted EPS of $1.75-$1.83, and for Q4 FY2026 comparable store sales growth of 4%-5% and diluted EPS of $2.17-$2.26. It also raised its planned fiscal 2026 new store openings to 115 locations. Figures are for Q2 FY2026, as Ross Stores, Inc. reported them.
