Market Focus
Aug 27

On August 27, Dollar Tree fell 8.06% in regular trading, trading at $127.02/share, with turnover of $112 million.

The company reported fiscal Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.39, beating the consensus estimate of $1.14 by 21.93% and representing an 80.52% year-over-year increase. Revenue of $4.887 billion also exceeded the $4.859 billion estimate, with comparable store net sales rising 3.7%. The company raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $7.70-$8.05, well above the prior range of $6.70-$7.10 and the FactSet consensus of $7.07.

However, the stock declined sharply as the company's fiscal Q3 guidance significantly disappointed investors. Dollar Tree expects Q3 adjusted EPS of only $0.80-$0.95, far below the analyst consensus of $1.40. This weak near-term outlook became the core driver of selling pressure, overshadowing the strong Q2 performance and elevated full-year guidance. Within the Hypermarkets & Super Centers sector, Dollar General rose 6.2%, while Wal-Mart fell 1.1%, Costco fell 0.81%, Target fell 0.06%, and BJ's Wholesale fell 1.21%.
