Ross Stores, Inc. (US7782961038) stock is trading against a backdrop of Q2 2026 revenue of USD 6.26 billion, up 13.3 percent year over year, while EPS reached USD 2.66 versus USD 1.95 consensus. Yahoo Finance also showed a market cap of USD 48.64 billion on September 5, 2026.
Q2 2026 still matters
MarketBeat reported on September 5, 2026 that the latest quarter also came with a quarterly dividend of USD 0.445 per share, equal to USD 1.78 annualized and a yield of 0.8 percent. That mix of double-digit sales growth and a cash return gives the stock a clear numbers story.
Analysts in the same coverage pointed to a current-year EPS consensus of USD 8.15, which frames expectations after the Q2 beat. The comparison is concrete: actual EPS of USD 2.66 was USD 0.71 above the USD 1.95 estimate.
Dividend and consensus
The dividend record date was set for September 8, 2026, with payment scheduled for September 30, 2026, according to the same MarketBeat report. For investors, the next test is whether the company can keep margins and sales moving in the same direction as revenue did in Q2 2026.

Off-price model

Stock level and size
On September 5, 2026, Yahoo Finance put Ross Stores market cap at USD 48.64 billion, which keeps the retailer in large-cap territory. The stock story today is less about a headline move than about whether the USD 6.26 billion quarter can repeat.
