Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T) is recognized as a well-managed company with solid long-term growth prospects, particularly as economic conditions encourage consumers to seek value. However, many experts express concerns regarding the stock's high valuation, indicating a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio that hovers around 30-40x, which some consider excessive given its growth rate. While the retail giant has successfully expanded internationally, particularly in Australia and Latin America, this growth is perceived as insufficient to justify its current price. There's a consensus that despite the company being seen as a reliable haven during economic downturns, the stock's price point may not offer an attractive entry for long-term investors at present. Experts recommend caution and suggest potentially waiting for a more favorable valuation before investing further.

DON'T BUY
Multiple is pretty high at near 20 times. Still have expansion space in Canada. Has had a good run and there may not be that much left in the stock.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Sep 16/10, Up 42.20%) Kicking himself because it went higher. Very good earnings and some money has downshifted to dollar stores. A little over bought at this point.
DON'T BUY
Good company and great management. In the right space but no longer has a good valuation at 15.5X earnings. There are so many good stocks out there.
BUY
Thinks there is good money to be made in the Dollar stores. Modest dividend of about 1% on a payout ratio of about 18%. Good value.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 12/10. Up 34.64%.)
TOP PICK
The dominant dollar store brand in Canada. Increased their sales to include $1.50 and $2 in addition to $1, which has boosted same store sales. Also brought in scanning and taking debit cards. Generating so much cash that they could easily start paying dividends.

TOP PICK
Dollarama Stores. Increase of prices from $1 to up to $2 has given them a very big boost in the items they can sell. Brought in point-of-sale scanning equipment to help in stocking. Also started accepting debit cards. Will get back to the 3%-3.5% sales growth it has had in the last decade. US competition coming in should not be a problem as there is lots of room.
TOP PICK
One of the best growth stories in the Canadian retailing space. 600 locations. Will be introducing point of sales scanning next quarter which will result in better margins, inventory control, etc. Long-term growth is forecast at 15%.
TOP PICK
Dollarama Canadian stores. Non-resource growth company. Not a lot of competition. Their core is in Ontario and Quebec and are working on growing out West.
TOP PICK
Very successful retail story in Canada. Have ability to expand customer base by moving their price point from $2 to $4 or $6. Increasing their floor base by almost 10% per year and same store sales growth is 5%-10% per year.
COMMENT
Doing very well. Most of their goods they purchase are from overseas so with a high Cdn$ they have an advantage. He is more geared towards the higher end of consumer discretionary stores.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Tremendous company. US chain contains Milk and Dairy, but Canada doesn’t, but that is the higher margin way to operarate. Buy on weakness.
TOP PICK
Discount retailer where you can buy anything under $10. Growing their store base by about 10% and same-store sales.
