Dollar General (DG) and Dollar Tree (DLTR) both exceeded sales expectations in their latest quarterly results, driven by consumer demand for lower-priced essentials amid economic uncertainty. Both retailers benefited from tariff refunds, which supported their higher full-year profit targets.
Dollar General raised its fiscal 2026 same-store sales growth forecast from 2.2%-2.7% to 2.5%-2.9% and now expects fiscal 2026 earnings per share (EPS) of approximately $7.80-$8.00. The company also announced plans for share repurchases of up to $700 million. Dollar Tree also lifted its full-year EPS forecast to $7.70-$8.05. Raymond James raised its price target on Dollar General to $150 from $145 and on Dollar Tree to $145 from $140. Hedge fund interest in both companies increased in Q2 2026.
