UBS expects Ross Stores to deliver a very solid fiscal third quarter, according to a report published by Fidelity on Thursday, November 12, 2026. The retailer is scheduled to release its results on November 19 after the US market close.
UBS sees solid operating momentum
UBS said its checks pointed to strong sales momentum and more than 10% comparable-sales growth in the quarter. The bank also anticipated an 11-cent earnings-per-share beat against the 1.86 US-dollar analyst forecast cited in the report.
UBS expects Ross Stores to raise its 2026 earnings guidance to a range of 8.82 to 8.91 US dollars per share, from 8.61 to 8.77 US dollars previously. It maintained its buy rating and a 315 US-dollar price target, while describing the upside and downside around the results as balanced.
Results will test high expectations
The November 19 release is the next material catalyst for investors. Comparable-store sales, merchandise margins and the company's full-year outlook will show whether the anticipated operating momentum is translating into higher profitability.
