Telsey Group On Ross Stores
Analyst Dana Telsey maintained a Market Perform rating while raising the price target from $80 to $120.
“The earnings upside was driven by broad-based strength as sales, gross margin, and SG&A all came in ahead of expectations,” Telsey said in a note. Management raised their full-year projections, after two consecutive quarters of annual guidance reductions, she added.
“The more optimistic outlook not only reflects continued momentum in the fourth quarter to-date, but also easier prior year compares throughout the period due to the impact of omicron and supply chain challenges in 4Q21 and management’s confidence in an improved holiday assortment as well,” the analyst wrote.
