If you believe ROST can sustain materially faster growth and exceptional capital efficiency long enough to justify a premium multiple, then hold or only add selectively because the current price already embeds a rich valuation versus HD and sits well above HD-implied range.
ROST trades at a clear premium to HD on relative valuation, with a P/E of 38.0x versus 23.3x, EV/EBITDA of 26.9x versus 16.2x, and EV/Revenue of 3.4x versus 2.3x. The provided implied price of $154.20 versus the current $251.07 suggests a -38.6% downside, although the historical band of $225.96 to $276.18 indicates the stock is trading within its recent range.
