The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- ROST closes below its 50-day average ($230.99) while the 50-day is still above the 200-day ($222.59): a pullback inside a longer rise, not yet a downtrend.
- At $229.85, ROST is 10.6% below its 1-year high of $257.00, set on August 3, 2026, and 46.0% above its 1-year low of $157.39 (October 31, 2025).
- Over the past month ROST rose 0.6%, from $228.54 to $229.85.
- ROST trades at 27.8x its last twelve months of earnings and 25.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 8.8% higher.
- Its P/E is 58.9% above the 17.5x median of the 2 other apparel retail companies we track (TJX, LULU).
- ROST's 30-day volatility, 22.9% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.4%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.85: over five years of monthly returns, ROST moved about 0.85% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close back above the 50-day average, $230.99 (+0.5%), restores the uptrend; the 50-day falling 3.6% under the 200-day at $222.59 would make it a downtrend.
- A close above $257.00 (+11.8%) would be a new 1-year high; below $157.39 (−31.5%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for ROST, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under apparel retail among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
