If you believe ROST can sustain its high ROIC and margin profile without multiple compression, then hold only selectively or trim exposure, because the stock already prices in a premium at 38.3x P/E and implies 24.0% downside versus ACI-based valuation.
ROST trades at a premium to ACI-implied price, with an implied downside of 24.0% from the current $252.92 to $192.19. The valuation is supported by stronger profitability and balance sheet quality than ACI, but the current price still sits above both ACI-implied range midpoint and the top of ACI-implied range is only $194.42.
