Ross Stores, Inc. (ISIN US7782961038) closed at USD 226.61 on the NYSE on September 18, 2026, down USD 2.87, or 1.25 percent, from the previous close. The latest reported quarter also delivered EPS of USD 2.66 and revenue of USD 6.26 billion, giving the stock a valuation anchor beyond the daily move.
Quarterly earnings set the benchmark
The second quarter of fiscal year 2027 produced earnings of USD 851.3 million and a profit margin of 13.59 percent, according to the quarterly figures shown by Yahoo Finance. EPS of USD 2.66 exceeded the listed estimate of USD 1.95 by USD 0.71, a quantified difference of approximately 36.4 percent.
That earnings comparison is the central operating signal for Ross Stores stock. Revenue of USD 6.26 billion in Q2 FY27 and net earnings of USD 851.3 million imply a reported earnings-to-revenue ratio of approximately 13.6 percent, consistent with the displayed profit margin.
Price remains below the yearly high
The September 18 closing price of USD 226.61 stood USD 28.62 below the 52-week high of USD 255.23 and USD 81.94 above the 52-week low of USD 144.67, based on the market figures displayed on September 22, 2026. The resulting range places the stock closer to its high than its low, although the latest session ended lower.
Market capitalization was listed at USD 72.692 billion, while the average trading volume was 2,676,569 shares. The combination of a large-cap valuation and a quarterly EPS beat means the market is weighing operating performance against the distance from the yearly peak rather than reacting to an isolated price number.
Next date points to November
Yahoo Finance listed an estimated next earnings date of November 19, 2026. The same market overview showed an average analyst target of USD 269.94, with a low of USD 176.00 and a high of USD 310.00, placing the average target USD 43.33 above the September 18 close.
Ross Stores stock therefore enters the next reporting checkpoint with three measurable reference points: Q2 FY27 EPS of USD 2.66, a 13.59 percent profit margin, and a closing price of USD 226.61 on September 18, 2026.
