Ross Stores beats estimates in Q2 but guides Q3 below consensus

By Staff Correspondent |

Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) reported a 6% jump in earnings in the second quarter driven by higher sales and a decline in income taxes provision. The results exceeded analysts’ expectations. However, the off-price retail apparel and home fashion operator guided third-quarter earnings below consensus estimates.

Net income rose by 6% to $412.72 million or $1.14 per share. The results included about $0.02 per share benefit from favorable timing of expenses that are expected to reverse over the second half of the year.

Total sales grew 6% year-over-year to $4 billion. Comparable store sales rose 3% compared to the previous year’s gain of 5%. The company delivered respectable gains in both sales and earnings for the second quarter. While Ladies business continued to trail the chain, trends in this important area showed some improvement during the period.
