Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T) has been a topic of mixed reviews among experts in recent discussions. While many experts commend the company's operational efficiency and growth prospects, especially as consumers seek value in tougher economic times, concerns about its high valuation persist. The stock's price-to-earnings ratio has been cited as particularly high, with figures ranging from the mid-30s to 40x, leading some analysts to scale back exposure despite the company's solid business model and future growth potential. Additionally, the international expansion into Latin America and Australia has been recognized as a potential growth driver, but its impact on profits remains limited thus far. Overall, there is a consensus that although Dollarama is a well-managed and successful retail operation, its current valuation may not justify a long-term investment without a significant pullback.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Stock price is up 43% YTD. Company offers internationally exposure and is a quality business. Is a good long term investment. Share price is high right now. Wait to buy shares on a pullback.
HOLD
Great price momentum. Very stable stock in terms of volatility. Not the cheapest at 34x earnings. Quality of earnings is high, balance sheet is great, in the right sector. If we see a rise in unemployment, will benefit. In the sweet spot for a recession.
BUY
Very high quality Canadian company. Consistent performer throughout the years. Proven track record of execution. Mature business in Canada. Gains will come fro Latin America growth. Price point is fantastic with multiple entry points ($1, $2, $5). Share price is not cheap and has expensive multiples. Waiting for shares to pullback before buying (below $70).
TOP PICK
Great short, medium, and long-term investment. Very well managed. Great balance sheet. Good long-term, predictable growth. Foot traffic is up, as is basket size. Same store sales growth is quite robust. Great purchasing power and scale. 3% annualized earnings growth for next 3 years. Lots of free cash. Majority ownership in South America's Dollar City is growing significantly faster than Canadian segment. Yield is 0.29%. (Analysts’ price target is $79.31)
BUY
Earl: In this type of market, you need to be concerned about your return of cash, in addition to return on cash. Rotation into value retailers. Great free cashflow, great growth profile.
SELL
Recent increase in share price is a cause for concern (lots of room for downside). Concerned about margins on products with inflation & supply chain issues. Does not own shares in company. Would sell shares.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 21/21, Up 32%) Thought that as Covid-19 subsided, more customers would be shopping in physical stores. Ability to raise prices. Inflation turning customers to cheaper options. Trading multiples still have room for growth. Will continue to hold.
BUY

HOLD
All-time highs. Earnings beat, dividend raise. Solid company and management. Strong price trend, not expensive, very high ROE. 33x earnings looks quite rich, but it's actually reasonable in light of other metrics. High quality earnings and cashflow.
BUY
More economically sensitive, so when the economy's doing well people spend a bit more money.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Doesn't own because prefers others. It has been a good stock. A big percentage of the population shops there. Buy but be price conscious when buying.
COMMENT
She owns Dollar Tree instead, because it has multiple price points of products in its store. DOL dominates Canada and has introduced those price points, but has backed off on $5. Inflationary and shipping pressures may impact them, but are handling them well, like packaging items smaller to keep their prices low. She prefers Dollar Tree.
WAIT
A great company. Owned it in the past. Sold it with the notion that the windfall from last year was not going to return. It was deemed an essential retailer when everything was closed. Same store sales comparisons are struggling due to last year. Has checked back a little. A slow and steady grower in retail. It is a good thing but it incurs opportunity cost for other, cheaper cyclical players. Will revisit later in the cycle.
BUY
Dollar Tree and DOL outlooks These stores did well during the lockdown. Soft share prices lately are due to return-to-work. DT is a little cheaper at 14x PE with a recent earnings beat and recently had an earnings beat. But DT has weak price momentum. DOL has outperformed, offers a good PE and had a good earnings beat. DOL has better price momentum. DOL isn't cheap at 30x PE, but it's okay; low volatility. Both stocks are similar overall.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 11/20, Up 13%) He sold. Still likes the company, but he had better ideas in the near-term. Windfall last year, as it was an essential retailer. This year, comparisons will lag and some aisles are off-limits as non-essential.
