Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROST) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope. Cramer mentioned the stock during the episode and said:

“In the third place, there’s Ross Stores… which saw just 1% same-store sales growth in the first half. In the most recent quarter, their same-store sales came in a little light… These guys had pulled their full-year forecast earlier in the year in response to the Liberation Day tariffs, but now they got a better handle on the situation, so management reissued their full-year earnings guidance with the upper end of their range just above Wall Street’s consensus estimate, basically inline numbers, so the stock did rally just 1% the next day.
