Ross Stores reported a 10% comparable‑sales increase, total sales up 13% to $6.3 billion, and net income of $851 million with EPS of $2.66, and raised guidance to 6%–7% comp growth for Q3 and 4%–5% for Q4. TJX posted 4% comparable‑sales growth and $15.2 billion revenue with EPS of $1.36, but its core Marmaxx division grew just 1% and management expects only 2%–3% comps in Q3 and 3%–4% for the full year.
