Ross' Basics Demand Resilient Despite Macroeconomic Uncertainty for Lower-Income Consumers

Jaime M. Katz Senior Equity Analyst

Business Strategy and Outlook

| Jaime M. Katz |

With a fast-turning inventory of high-value branded merchandise, Ross' store experience and value proposition should continue to resonate independent of economic conditions. Ross should benefit from a turbulent economic environment, as consumers refocus on value and as vendors grapple with oversupply amid fast-changing demand, and we forecast 3% same-store sales growth in 2023. Off-price retailers have not been derailed by past recessions; Ross’ comparable sales grew by 2% and 6% in fiscal 2008 and 2009, respectively.

Company Profile ROST

Business Description

Ross Stores is a leading American off-price apparel and home fashion retailer, operating over 2,000 stores (at the end of fiscal 2022) under the Ross Dress for Less and dd's Discounts banners. Ross offers a variety of name-brand products and targets undercutting conventional retailers' regular prices by 20%-70%. The company uses an opportunistic, flexible merchandising approach; together with a relatively low-frills shopping environment centered on a treasure-hunt experience, Ross maximizes inventory turnover and traffic, enabling its low-price approach. In fiscal 2022, 26% of sales came from home accents (including bed and bath), 24% from the ladies' department, 15% from menswear, 14% from accessories, 12% from shoes, and 9% from children's. All sales were made in the United States.
