Telsey Advisory analyst Dana Telsey <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ROST/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a Market Perform</a> rating on the shares of Ross Stores Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROST#NASDAQ">ROST</a>) and lowered the price forecast from $175.00 to $150.00.
ROST <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44125245/ross-stores-reports-results-for-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported fourth-quarter EPS of $1.79</a>, slightly lower than last year&#8217;s $1.82 but above both the consensus estimate and guidance of $1.57 &#8211; $1.64.
The earnings beat was largely driven by a $0.14 one-time gain from the sale of a packaway facility. Sales decreased by 1.8% to $5.912 billion, slightly missing consensus.
Comps grew 3%, outperforming the 2.6% consensus. Gross margin contracted to 26.5%, below estimates, but better cost control led to an operating margin of 12.4%, beating expectations, said the analyst.
The analyst noted that ROST&#8217;s initial FY25 outlook falls short of expectations. Total sales are projected to grow 1% &#8211; 5%.

FY25 EPS is estimated to be between $5.95 &#8211; $6.55, lower than the $6.32 reported in FY24 and below the consensus of $6.67.
ROST&#8217;s first-quarter FY25 guidance is also below expectations. Sales are projected to decline 1% to increase by 3%, compared to the prior consensus of a 6% rise, with comps expected to fall between -3% and 0%, below the consensus of 2.4%.
While the company saw growth in traffic and basket size, sales slowed toward the end of the fourth quarter and continued to decelerate into the first quarter due to unseasonable weather and an uncertain macro environment.
Given these challenges, the first-quarter and FY25 outlooks are conservative. The company faces pressure from shifts affecting its core lower-income customers.
As a result, the analyst has lowered FY25 sales growth outlook to 4.6% YoY growth to $22.09 billion (from up 5.7% to $22.33 billion prior). EPS estimate for FY25 has been moved down to $6.54 (vs. $6.70 previously).
Price Action: ROST shares are trading higher by 1.38% at $137.84 at last check Wednesday.

Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>) analysts highlight the sports betting and iGaming market share growth of the company after fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44140332/flutter-reports-mixed-q4-projects-1-billion-buyback-in-fy25-amid-strong-igaming-momentum">financial results and guidance.</a>
The Flutter Analysts: Citizens analyst Jordan Bender maintained a Market Outperform rating on Flutter and raised the price target from $311 to $328.
Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $275 to $300.
Needham analyst Bernie McTernan reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $300 to $310.

Citizens on FLUT: The sports betting and iGaming company is in the early stages of "substantial earnings power," Bender said in a new investor note.
The analyst said Flutter is the top way to own gaming.
"In a tough quarter for the U.S. business, it still increased market share for both iGaming and sports betting, and early 1Q25 results imply further market share gains across both business segments," Bender said.
The analyst said acquisitions in international markets and the launch of legalized sports betting in Missouri and potentially Alberta, Canada, could improve guidance.
"Consumer stocks are under pressure with the global macro headwinds, yet the company continues to see organic revenue and EBITDA grow meaningfully above similar comps."
Bender said the company's strong balance sheet opens the door for more M&amp;A activity.
Benchmark on FLUT: The company's FanDuel business had strength in the quarter, Hickey said in a new investor note.
"The company achieved significant earnings transformation, with AEBITDA increasing 26%, driven by the rapid scaling of its U.S. business," Hickey said.
The analyst said early first-quarter results show a strong Super Bowl performance offsetting negative NFL results in January.
"The guidance reflects continued U.S. market expansion, the integration of strategic acquisitions, and a robust outlook for international markets."
New launches in Missouri and Alberta could impact EBITD, but are part of long-term market share growth, the analyst said.
Needham on FLUT: Despite tough comparable sales and foreign exchange currency concerns, McTernan is raising the price target on Flutter stock.
"U.S. handle trends have been a focus for investors, and 1Q growth is reaccelerating from 4Q levels," McTernan said.
The fourth quarter was impacted by one less week of the NFL season and a slowing of new state launches.
FanDuel rolling out YourWay is driving engagement in the early stages, McTernan said.
"FLUT has still yet to market the product aggressively, but thinks it can drive higher hold, engagement, and frequency for users. In addition, FLUT is in the early stages of rolling out YourWay for the NBA."
McTernan said Flutter is positioned to be the leader in U.S. online sports betting and iGaming. The analyst said the total addressable market size for the U.S. market is larger than anticipated, benefitting Flutter.
"We see significant earnings power for the consolidated business if this thesis plays out."
FLUT Price Action: Flutter stock is up 1.06% to $268.96 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $174.03 to $299.73. Flutter stock is up 4.2% year-to-date in 2025 and up 24% over the past year.

8 Analysts Have This To Say About Huntsman

Egg prices have been all over the news lately, and for good reason. The cost of a dozen eggs hit $4.95 in January, almost double what it was a year earlier at $2.52, according to<a href="https://www.ers.usda.gov/"> </a>the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/charts/consumer-price-index/consumer-price-index-average-price-data.htm">U.S Bureau of Labour Statistics.</a> It's wild to think how something as basic as eggs could suddenly become a luxury item.&nbsp;
The situation has gotten so serious that Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/the-u-s-plans-to-import-more-eggs-will-that-help-tame-rising-prices-71839968">recently announced</a> that the government is considering temporarily importing eggs to help consumers catch a break. The idea is more of a short-term fix rather than a long-term solution.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Really Going On?</h2>
<a href="https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/02/26/usda-invests-1-billion-combat-avian-flu-and-reduce-egg-prices">The approach to fixing the egg shortage</a> isn't just about bringing in more from other countries. There's talk of loosening some regulations that have made it tough for domestic farmers to ramp up production.&nbsp;
On top of that, there's a push to invest more in biosecurity to keep poultry safe from disease. Efforts to rebuild the laying hen population are also in motion, along with research into better vaccines and treatments.&nbsp;
These steps are meant to help stabilize the industry over time, even though the immediate concern is simply getting more eggs onto store shelves.

One of the biggest factors behind the price spike is the ongoing avian flu outbreak. Since early 2022, over 160 million birds have been culled,<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/data-map-commercial.html"> </a>according to <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-why-the-u-s-is-not-working-to-vaccinate-birds-against-avian-flu-b5daa56d">MarketWatch</a>. Fewer hens mean fewer eggs, and that's been a major hit to supply.&nbsp;
At the same time, the <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2025-02-12/us-eggs-prices-hit-a-record-high-of-4-95-and-are-likely-to-keep-climbing">cost of feed has shot up</a>. Add in inflation, supply chain snags, and rising transportation costs, and it's no wonder eggs are so expensive right now.
Not everyone is convinced that the government's current approach will actually solve the problem. Experts point out that bringing in eggs from other countries might offer quick relief but could also discourage investment in domestic production.&nbsp;
There are also concerns that deregulation will push prices down in the short term but at the expense of <a href="https://www.health.com/food-recalls-2024-more-deaths-11685472">food safety</a>. Simplifying red tape might be of some benefit, but it will do nothing to fix deeper issues like biosecurity risks and structural issues the sector is facing.&nbsp;

The effects of all this are easy to see. Some grocery stores are limiting how many egg cartons customers can buy, and popular restaurant chains like Denny's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DENN#NASDAQ">DENN</a>) and Waffle House have added extra charges to their egg-based dishes to keep up with costs.&nbsp;
In an interesting twist, cage-free eggs—which used to be the pricey option—are now selling for less than regular eggs in some places.
Despite the chaos, there's some hope on the horizon. Rollins remains optimistic, saying, "We see a significant plan with significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43084861/mark-cubans-29-million-shark-tank-portfolio-from-200k-in-dude-wipes-to-200m-for-beatbox-beverages-im-killing-it">funds</a> moving ahead, and relief is coming right around the corner." Unless the avian flu outbreak eases up and domestic production gets back on track, egg prices could increase by around <a href="https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/summary-findings">41% in 2025</a>.&nbsp;
