Ross Stores Inc (ROST) Leak Score

ROST: overvalued.

Figures as of the 2026-09-22 close.

What does ROST's Leak Score of 76 mean?

The Leak Score grades the quality of a business from its own accounts, on twelve value investing signals: returns on capital, cash generation, debt, margins, dilution and so on. 76 out of 100 is what we call "Clear Leak": its accounts pass clearly more tests than they fail. It does not say whether the price is right: that is what the verdict on intrinsic value is for.

How many of the twelve signals does ROST pass?

7 signals in its favour, 1 against, 1 neutral. 3 signals could not be evaluated: the data they need is not in the filings we hold for this company. Which signals they are, and why each one passes or fails, is in the full analysis.

How reliable is ROST's Leak Score?

It rests on 9 of 12 signals, enough of the checklist for us to give it a rating. A signal we cannot evaluate counts neither for nor against: it lowers the coverage, not the score.
