Ross Stores stock traded at USD 232.33 on the Nasdaq on September 23, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 73.86 billion and a 52-week range of USD 145.68 to USD 255.23. The price remains USD 22.90 below the 52-week high, leaving the valuation debate tied to earnings execution rather than a fresh record.
Analyst target reaches USD 290
According to Yahoo Finance on August 21, 2026, Citigroup maintained its Buy rating and raised its price target from USD 270 to USD 290. The USD 20 increase represents a 7.4 percent rise in the target and places it above the current quotation by USD 57.67.
The same Yahoo Finance overview shows an average analyst target of USD 269.94, with a low of USD 176.00 and a high of USD 310.00. The average target is USD 37.61 above the September 23 price, while the spread between the low and high targets is USD 134.00, highlighting the range of assumptions around future off-price retail performance.
Off-price revenue supplies the base
Simply Wall St reported on September 22, 2026, that Ross Stores generates USD 24.5 billion in revenue from off-price retailing in the United States and has a market capitalization of about USD 72.4 billion. The revenue figure is presented as business context rather than a newly reported quarter, but it shows the scale behind the current valuation.
Ross Stores operates Ross Dress for Less and dd's DISCOUNTS, both aimed at value-conscious US households, according to the same September 22 company profile. That positioning provides a quantified comparison between the USD 24.5 billion revenue base and the USD 73.86 billion market value recorded on September 23, a ratio of roughly three dollars of equity value for each dollar of annual revenue.
Trading range remains the key test
Ross Stores traded at USD 232.33 on September 23, 2026, while the 52-week high stood at USD 255.23 and the low at USD 145.68. The stock was therefore 9.0 percent below its high and 59.5 percent above its low, placing the quotation closer to the upper end of the yearly range.
The market data also show volume of 2,227,440 shares and a market capitalization of USD 73.86 billion on September 23, 2026. With the average analyst target at USD 269.94 and Citigroup's target at USD 290, the central issue is whether reported operating figures can support the distance between the current price and those targets.
