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.

Walmart,WMT

TOP PICK

Held in very well during the pandemic. Also a very strong re-opening play. Guiding opening for 50-60 stores. Made a big acquisition in South America. Earnings up 23% YoY. Expects earnings to grow by 21% 2021-2023. Trading at 20x 2023. A name that works on price to growth, even in inflation. M&A and SA growth is positive. (Analysts’ price target is $62.00)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They reported earnings in March, good numbers, and shares moved up, but since then shares have pulled back. Puzzling. Investors are looking for reopening stocks like hotels and cinemas. DOL is a steady eddy in earnings and revenues growth, and continues to do well. It's on his radar and he'd buy on a pullback.

PARTIAL BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Dollarama sells cheap stuff and has enjoyed a near-monopoly on selling household goods during these lockdowns. No argument that DOL has done very well. It peaked December 9 at $54.58 November 1, just shy of its all-time high. DOL stock has since peeled back 10%. It continues to enjoy a strong brand in Canada and the ubiquity of its locations. Its last quarter in December reported sales up 14% and earnings 23%, blowing past street expectations. DOL stock is expected to grow 15% this year. Given the winter lockdown, it’s safe to say that DOL stock will report another strong quarter or two. In fact, DOL has beaten three of its last four quarters. Read

PARTIAL SELL

Good name in the TSX. One of the better growth names. 15% growth rate going forward. 24x forward PE. He's not into consumer staples at this point, favours cyclicals.

TOP PICK

They're making money with a 3.8% free cash flow yield or $610 million FCF. In their December quarterly report, sales were up 14% and earnings 23% (15% above the street's expectations). Earnings are expected to grow 15% in 2021 + 17% in 2022. High ROE of 11%. (Analysts’ price target is $59.93)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He trimmed his holding. It's a safe-haven retailer during the pandemic. It's fully priced now. Wait for the low-$40s to enter.

HOLD

This segment will likely come out of this doing well. They will benefit from increased consumer thriftiness. He has others out there he prefers in this market segment, where growth opportunities are better.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The stock has been rallying into earnings. They have a unique position in Canada as a value retailer and they have growth levers in Canada along with Latin America. They have an opportunity as other retailers may drop out. It trades at 27 times earnings -- a little rich. A long term winner. He owns it, but would add at lower levels.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 13/19, Up 13%) People are buying more on each trip. DOL-T is an essential service. Results yesterday were better than expected, even if down year over year. Same-store growth was positive. Earnings were under pressure because of cost pressures to deal with COVID-19. They are a strong retailer and the biggest dollar store in the country. This stock will be a beauty over the long term.

TOP PICK

It is a very long term growth story. They have well telegraphed plans to increase to 1700 stores. They are experts at procurement and merchandising. They create a compelling value proposition for shoppers. They may benefit from a lot of retailers not surviving the pandemic. (Analysts’ price target is $50.31)

BUY

DOL vs Dollar Tree vs. Dollar General He likes Dollar General for its location and execution. Doesn't like Dollar Tree because their locations are 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.
