The main question: the biggest companies are not always the ones changing the most.

Start with size. Then the direction of earnings. Then the quality of the business. A share price that leads means more once those three agree.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the gap between them tells the story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 29 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member set to 100 at the start and the industry taking the middle value, so a price line pulling away from flat bars means the market is paying more for the same earnings. A bar turns grey when that figure is lower than the quarter before. The rules are fixed and the same everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover or tap any point to read both values and the gap.

How does each Specialty Retail stock score?

A score that ranks each company against the others in its industry. The four parts shown always add up to the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or old evidence affects only its own part, never as a hidden adjustment.

Five Below, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 85.3% evidence confidence.

How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

How have Specialty Retail share prices moved?

MarineMax, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Specialty Retail at +121.8%. ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. leads on relative strength against the S&P 500, at +52.3%. 14 of 28 companies we track are ahead of the index on that measure (3 have no relative-strength reading yet). Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 4 November 2026.

Price and relative strength

Price · same starting point: Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts: the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

RS vs S&P 500: How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.

RS vs sector: The same measure taken against Specialty Retail itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Which Specialty Retail companies have the most revenue, and which grow fastest?

4/8 recent comparable periodsPersistence
25/28 companies · 526 observationsCoverage

What this means: Best Buy Co., Inc. is the size to compare against; DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. is the one growing fastest. The faster grower has to keep that growth and turn it into margin and returns before it counts as more than a fast start.

This conclusion weakens if: Best Buy Co., Inc.'s growth falls below DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Revenue shows both size and speed. A large company can absorb shocks and pay for wide distribution; faster growth can mean market-share gains, new capacity or stronger demand. The best sign is usually growth that lasts without hurting margins and returns.

What to watch

Watch the next two reported quarters for growth persistence, margin conversion and whether the leader is gaining share without stretching working capital.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current margin change rather than reversing it.

Which Specialty Retail companies earn the most profit?

Best Buy Co., Inc. has the highest Net profit among the 28 Specialty Retail companies compared here, at $1,272 million. Ulta Beauty, Inc. is next at $1,210 million. Five Below, Inc. has the highest Profit growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Best Buy Co., Inc. earns the most, $1,272 million of profit over the last 12 months, 5.1% above Ulta Beauty, Inc. Five Below, Inc. shows at least 100% on the scoring scale (126.7% in full) growth from a profit base of $619 million.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current profit growth rather than reversing it.

Which Specialty Retail companies earn the best return on capital?

Winmark Corporation has the highest ROCE among the 28 Specialty Retail companies compared here, at 157.3%. Williams-Sonoma, Inc. is next at 39.6%. The same company also has the highest ROCE change, at +40.5 percentage points. 28 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026. Its ROCE series carries 19 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Winmark Corporation leads ROCE at 157.3%, 117.7 percentage points above Williams-Sonoma, Inc. A high return reported once may be one good year; a high return reported year after year shows a lasting business.

28/28 companies · 528 observationsCoverage

What this means: Winmark Corporation sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current roce change rather than reversing it.

How are Specialty Retail stocks valued against growth and quality?

Best Buy Co., Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 28 Specialty Retail companies compared here, at 0.35×. Bath & Body Works, Inc. is next at 0.36×. Olaplex Holdings, Inc. has the lowest P/E at −176.5×, so level and change sit with different companies. 16 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Best Buy Co., Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.35×, 2.8% below Bath & Body Works, Inc. That would need today's multiple, the company's own history and steady growth to agree.

Best Buy Co., Inc. · 0.35×Leader
2.8% versus #2 · Bath & Body Works, Inc.Gap
0/8 recent comparable periodsPersistence
16/28 companies · 66 observationsCoverage

What this means: A low valuation is a reason to look closer at the business, not a conclusion on its own.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is worked out the same way every time, as the P/E on the last 12 months of reported earnings divided by that growth rate, never on expected earnings. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current p/e rather than reversing it.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Specialty Retail comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 2 of the 28 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. A high growth rate can still come from a very small starting figure.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can come from a very small starting figure. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary, or look high because the capital base is small. It is best read beside margin, cash flow and how much is spent back on the business.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks published data only. Management quality, upcoming events and risks are not part of it.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
  • 2 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 28 Specialty Retail companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Sep 2026 and market data through 4 November 2026.

Market dataThrough 4 November 2026 · weekly price and relative-strength history
Derived metricsGrowth, changes and PEG are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and old evidence lowers confidence and pulls the 0 to 100 score toward the middle.

What else do people ask about Specialty Retail stocks?

These 22 answers restate the Specialty Retail comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 28 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Sep 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 4 November 2026. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Specialty Retail sector outperforming S&P 500?

Specialty Retail has done better than the S&P 500 by 4.2% over 52 weeks and by 5.9% over 13 weeks.

14 of 28 companies we track are beating the S&P 500 on relative strength (how a share price has done against the index over recent months) (3 have no relative-strength reading yet), and 12 of the 25 with a long enough price history are ahead of the industry itself.

Which Specialty Retail company is largest by revenue?

Best Buy Co., Inc. leads with revenue of $42,201 million, based on 25 of 28 comparable companies through Sep 2026.

Which Specialty Retail company is growing fastest?

DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at 53.5%, across 25 of 28 comparable companies.

Which Specialty Retail company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Five Below, Inc. ranks first at 73.1 out of 100, with 85.3% of the evidence available. The score ranks published data; it is not a recommendation.

Which Specialty Retail company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Best Buy Co., Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.35, among 16 of 28 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Specialty Retail comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Sep 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four parts add up directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or old evidence moves only that part toward the middle.

Which Specialty Retail company is the biggest?

Best Buy Co., Inc. is the largest, with revenue of $42,201 million over the last 12 months, ahead of DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. at $21,146 million. That covers 25 of 28 companies with comparable reporting through Sep 2026.

Which Specialty Retail company has the best profit margins?

Winmark Corporation has the highest operating margin at 56.6%, from 28 of 28 comparable companies. ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. shows the biggest improvement (+30.7 percentage points; the chart above shows the starting level). A high margin matters most when it is steady or rising, not when it is at a peak.

Which Specialty Retail company makes the most profit?

Best Buy Co., Inc. earns the most, at $1,272 million of net profit over the last 12 months, from 25 of 28 comparable companies.

Five Below, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at the 100% cap of the scoring scale, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Specialty Retail company earns the highest return on capital?

Winmark Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 157.3%, across 28 of 28 companies. A high return that repeats for years shows a lasting business, while a single high reading can come from a small capital base or one good year.

Which Specialty Retail stock has the lowest PEG ratio?

On PEG (where a lower number means a lower price for what the company earns), Best Buy Co., Inc. has the lowest at 0.35×.

Only 16 of 28 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a ranking of the whole industry. A low multiple is a reason to look closer at the business, not a conclusion on its own.

Is the Specialty Retail sector beating the market?

Specialty Retail has done better than the S&P 500 by 4.2% over the last 52 weeks and by 5.9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members.

Inside the sector, 14 of the 28 companies we track are beating the market on their own (3 have no relative-strength reading yet). Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Specialty Retail stock has the strongest price momentum?

ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against the S&P 500, meaning its share price has done best against the index. A price can move well before the business results back it up, and sometimes without them.

Which Specialty Retail company has the highest 4-Factor score?

Five Below, Inc. scores 73.1 out of 100, with 85.3% of the evidence available, from 32.1 points on growth and earnings, 15.1 on capital efficiency, 13.5 on valuation and 12.4 on relative strength. It ranks published data only; management quality, upcoming events and risks are not part of the score.

How many Specialty Retail companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

This comparison covers 28 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Sep 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list, nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Specialty Retail sector?

The 28 Specialty Retail companies on this page carry $201,957 million of combined market value. Williams-Sonoma, Inc. is the largest at $31,777 million, about 16% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 4 November 2026.

What is the Specialty Retail sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 28 Specialty Retail companies on this page is 20.9×, measured on the 24 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past.

Figures are as of 4 November 2026.

How is the Specialty Retail sector performing?

14 of the 28 Specialty Retail companies we track are doing better than the S&P 500 on relative strength (how a share price has done against the index over recent months) (3 have no relative-strength reading yet).

The sector itself is 4.2% ahead of S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members.

How many Specialty Retail stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 28 listed Specialty Retail companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Sep 2026. Membership is the full industry list, nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing figures are never estimated, copied forward or swapped for a similar-looking line, and a company with missing evidence has its score pulled toward the middle rather than scored as bad.

Is this advice?

No, every figure here is worked out by code from company filings and market data, for research. It does not account for your situation and is not a substitute for advice from a registered adviser.
