Did the management address macroeconomic risks (e.g., consumer spending slowdown, interest rate environment) that could affect the business?

Based on the information provided in the news release, the only details disclosed are the timing of the second‑quarter 2025 earnings release (Thursday, August 21, 2025 at ~4 p.m. ET) and the associated conference‑call webcast (starting at 4:15 p.m. ET). The summary does not contain any excerpts or commentary from Ross Stores’ management about the company’s outlook, strategic priorities, or the macro‑economic environment.

Therefore, from the material you shared we cannot determine whether the management addressed macro‑economic risks such as a slowdown in consumer spending, the prevailing interest‑rate environment, or any other external factors that could impact the business. To know if those topics were covered, you would need to review the full earnings release, the transcript or recording of the conference call, or any accompanying management commentary that typically appears in the earnings press release or the subsequent call transcript.
