Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T) has been recognized as a strong growth story, particularly as consumers tend to trade down during tough economic times, which bodes well for dollar stores like DOL. Despite its impressive growth and expansion into international markets such as Latin America and Australia, a significant concern remains the high valuation, with many analysts noting a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio that approaches or exceeds 40x. Expert reviews highlight mixed feelings regarding the company's future growth potential, particularly as the Canadian market shows signs of saturation. Although there are arguments for its robust business model and consistent earnings growth, valuation concerns often overshadow these positives, leading many to advise caution or to wait for a more favorable buying opportunity. Overall, while DOL is viewed as a well-managed and valued brand in the retail sector, its high valuation and potential slowing growth in Canada create a nuanced investment outlook.

WMT

HOLD

He's not following consumer discretionary, but if the economy weakens, look at this as a hedge. Otherwise, wait.

WEAK BUY

Great story. They're great at price increases and sourcing new products. Last year has been a bit slower. Rebalancing their products. Expansion in South America is smart. Great dividend, own for a long time. Reasonable valuation at these levels.

TOP PICK

Best operator in the tough retail space with 1,250 Canadian stores with the aim of growing to 1,700. They're very good at price sharply and build traffic and basket size. They buyback shares and recently struck a deal to buy a majority in Dollar City in Latin America; this accelerates their growth in faster-growing geographies. Great secular growth. (Analysts’ price target is $50.77)

WATCH

He is not sure it is going to have as much growth as other publicly traded stores of this kind. They are considering an ownership position in a Latin American chain. He would not consider it until they do this.

BUY

He bought it around 37-38$. It's come back to a reasonable level. It is still expensive, but it has a nice growth rate. They are opening up stores in South America, and there is still growth in Canada. It can be a good place to enter here.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's pulled back since the summer. Was once a top pick. It's been a rollercoaster with talk of competition. It's one of the best recession-proof stocks around. He won't add to it until there is a pullback.

COMMENT

Likes the space. Will do well in a slowdown. Instead he owns Dollar General, which has performed extremely well. Broke above 200-day in April of this year. Has floated down recently because of profit taking. Not cheap, but has moved well compared to the TSX. Recession resilient.

HOLD

A brilliantly run business but the PE is too high for him. It is one of the few retailers that does not compete with AMZN-Q. Growth is slowing because they can't keep opening more stores. He has total respect for the company but it is rather expensive.

COMMENT

Trading so high above its fundamental value. DOL doesn't really have a real balance sheet, no real equity. $15.86 is his target price, 66% below the current price. But this should be in a long-term portfolio, because people will pay anything for growth and he sees growth here.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 24/18, Up 14%) A core holding. Very well-run. They tripped with weak same-store sales last year, but the valuation became attractive. They exercised their option to buy Dollar City (in Latin America) which the market overlooked. This will add to growth. They can continue to grow in Canada, too, and buy back shares. One of the best retailers in Canada.

BUY

It has a lot of growth potential. They haven’t been growing by inflation, though they missed their last quarter. They are doing fine with same store growth, and it’s a nice high growth name. It trades at 22 times which is pricey. With this kind of growth, you can still buy into it. In a recession, you want this in your portfolio.

COMMENT

They saturated Canada with stores, but are now adding higher-value goods in the store with prices up to $5. The glory days of growth are over and this will be a cyclical retailer. It's okay to hold it, but not as a core holding. He prefers Aritzia.

PARTIAL SELL

Some other companies have successfully moved into central America. DOL-T has a formula that has worked for them. He would take some profit along the way here. It has always looked rather expensive.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 29/19, Up 15%) He still likes it, but it's getting pricey so he may lighten up on it. Definitely want to own this going into a recession, more so than say Canadian Tire.

BUY

It has done well and if the position is too large, trim it back. It has done a phenomenal job because they are one of the few that does not compete with AMZN-Q. The issue they are facing is that it is getting tougher to find more locations to open new stores. They made an acquisition elsewhere and will find out if they can execute that well. It is probably a recession proof stock in Canada. They have strong management.
