Current thesis
The bull case is that Ross is still taking share: Q1 comps rose 17%, EPS beat guidance by a wide margin, and FY26 guidance was raised meaningfully on stronger traffic and execution [#8-K-2026-05-21]. If that traffic and margin pattern persists, estimate revisions can keep drifting higher.
