If you believe ROST can sustain its superior margin profile and revenue growth while preserving ROIC, then holding or modestly adding makes sense because the operational quality is better than WMT and the implied upside is still positive at 6.7%.
ROST trades at $252.91 versus an implied price of $269.75, suggesting about 6.7% upside on the P/E framework. However, that modest discount is tempered by a historically elevated trading range and a valuation premium on sales and EBITDA relative to WMT.
