Ross Stores (ISIN US7782961038) was last at EUR 201.35 on Tradegate on October 6, 2026 at 1:03 p.m. CEST, versus the venue's EUR 201.75 prior close, while the retailer added two directors effective October 1. As Finanznachrichten reported on September 17, 2026, Shelley H. Bransten and Christian B. Johnson joined the board, while Sharon D. Garrett planned to retire.
Board expands to ten seats
The appointments expand Ross Stores' board to ten seats and add technology, retail and consumer investment experience. Bransten previously held senior roles at Microsoft and Salesforce, while Johnson has been a partner at Freeman Spogli since 2016, according to the company release carried by Finanznachrichten.
The governance change follows a strong second quarter. Ross Stores reported sales of USD 6.26 billion for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2026, up 13.00 percent year over year, while comparable-store sales increased 10.00 percent and net earnings reached USD 851.0 million, as summarized by StockTitan.
Higher outlook meets valuation debate
Diluted earnings per share were USD 2.66 in the second quarter, compared with guidance of USD 1.85-1.93, a difference of USD 0.73 at the midpoint. Ross Stores also lifted its fiscal 2026 new-store plan to 115 locations and targeted USD 1.275 billion in share repurchases, according to StockTitan.
The market capitalization was USD 72.4 billion on October 6, 2026. The primary Nasdaq listing stood at USD 225.78 at 3:24 p.m. UTC, or 11:24 a.m. ET, down 0.26 percent from USD 226.37; the 52-week range was USD 147.49 to USD 257.00. The two currencies and venues are separate from the Tradegate euro quote.
Next results date is estimated
Nasdaq lists November 19, 2026 as the estimated next earnings date and cites consensus earnings per share of USD 1.82 for that report, versus USD 1.58 in the comparable quarter, according to Nasdaq. That comparison gives the board changes a secondary role beside the upcoming earnings test and the company's raised store expansion plan.
