Allan Tong’s Discover Picks
DG shares have been declining since its peak last October at $260, perhaps bottoming in late March around $200 and now trending 10% higher. Though its last quarter was in-line, DG noted that higher-than-expected construction costs to build out its distribution network and more labour costs hampered its operating leverage.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 16/22, Down 6%)
US dollar stores sell more consumables, and margins are lower on consumables than general merchandise. Over-indexes to a more rural and lower median income, which should be an advantage in a difficult economic environment. Great organic growth. Internal issues, supply chain and labour shortages. Couple of missed quarters. Long-term value creation is still there.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly During periods of high inflationary concerns and general economic uncertainty, discount retailers (such as DG) are safe havens. It trades at 24x earnings compared to peers at 34x. It recently reported earnings that beat analyst expectations and supported a ROE of 37%. Management raised guidance, expecting sales to rise 11% and EPS to grow by a similar amount. The company is expanding its offerings to now include on-demand health care services, along with adding fresh produce to its outlets -- all things that will aid consumers and distinguish itself from other retailers. We recommend placing a stop loss at $205, looking to achieve $283 -- upside potential over 16%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $267.46)
