Dollar Tree (DLTR-Q) has recently reported a strong quarter, showcasing its ability to evolve and capture a wider customer base. Like Walmart, the company is beginning to target a higher-end demographic, indicating a strategic shift that could enhance its market position. On the other hand, it retains its core appeal to lower-income consumers looking for affordable options, which helps maintain its relevance. The decision to spin off the underperforming Family Dollar brand is viewed positively and is expected to improve overall profitability. With projected earnings growth of 15% in 2026 at a price-to-earnings ratio of 15x, the company's financial prospects look promising as it successfully navigates economic challenges in the retail sector.
Chris BlumasSell Costco to buy DLTR? Costco is very well run, but their challenge is always growth. And their forward PE is 35x, which is high. Whereas DLTR trades at 17x, driven by growth and expansion. Long-term, DLTR has earnings growth and multiple expansion and a better total return over 5-7 years than Costco.

Christine PooleChris Blumas(A Top Pick Dec 12/19, Up 16%) She would buy it again. They are reformatting some of the stores and this improves basket size. It trades at a discount to Dollar General and Dollarama.
Christine PoolePlays well into what's happening with the pandemic and changes in consumer behaviour. Prefers Dollar General, as it's in rural areas, with no Walmarts or Costcos. DLTR has lots of competition in the city and its latest acquisition hasn't worked out well. 9% earnings growth rate, while Dollar General has 13-14% earnings growth rate.

Premium contentStockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly DLTR has seen its fair share of volatility lately, but the market fundamentals are once again moving in its favour. As the economy is about to face another wave of the pandemic folks will be likely be tempered in their spending and this benefits the company. Ahead of the season's demand rush, the company has hired 25,000 employees showing their outlook for sales ahead. Moody's just upgraded their credit rating based on their ability to boost cash flow during the pandemic and double-digit same store sales growth. It is also relatively cheap compared to DG, who has a PE of 20 versus 15 for DLTR. We would trade this with a $73 stop-loss. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $108.17)

Chris BlumasDOL vs Dollar Tree vs. Dollar General He likes Dollar General for its location and execution. Doesn't like Dollar Tree because their locations are in urban centres where there's too much competition. He prefers Dollarama over Dollar General, but likes DOL, but many DOL stores are inside malls, which is a problem now (malls are closed). He prefers DOL to Dollar Tree because they execute better; and Dollar General over Dollar Tree.
They are more insulated from online competition like Amazon. They have addressed some short term issues and it is well positioned regardless of the economic environment. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $88.05)

Has 15,000 stores in two brands. New managers will remodel stores, introduce multiple price points and new combo stores. This strategy under a new CEO will raise same-store sales growth, benefit EPS and improve margins over 3-5 years. DOL's multi-price strategy worked, so it should work for DLTR. He sees 30% upside.
