Dollar General (DG) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Dollar General (DG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dollar General reported total sales growth of 4.5%, reaching $10.3 billion, with comparable store sales increasing by 1.2%, showcasing a stable demand for their value-oriented product offerings. The retailer has seen a notable increase in penetration among middle and upper-income consumers, which is expected to support continued sales momentum into the following quarters. Additionally, the expansion of their partnership with DoorDash, which increased same-day delivery service from 75 to 400 stores, reflects a strategic enhancement in their operational capacity, further reinforcing the firm’s growth outlook.
Bears say
Dollar General has projected a decline in operating margins by 18 basis points, lowering expectations to 4.6%, which indicates ongoing profitability challenges. Furthermore, the company has revised its earnings per share (EPS) estimates downward, anticipating significant EBIT dollar declines of 12% to $510 million and lowering its 2025 EPS projection to $6.03 from $6.23. Contributing to this negative outlook are concerns regarding sluggish comparable store sales growth, an increasingly competitive retail environment, and external pressures that may disproportionately affect their lower-income customer base.
