DLTR Stock Recent News

CHESAPEAKE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR), today announced its stores will host a National Hiring Week taking place Sept. 14 - 20, where it plans to hire thousands of associates across more than 9,000 stores nationwide. Open positions include a variety of part-time and full-time roles, including store managers, assistant store managers, and customer service associates. "At Dollar Tree, every associate plays a critical role in our success,” said Steve Schumacher, Chief P.

Both retailers are executing well lately, but one stock looks better than the other for the long term.

Dollar Tree's turnaround is gaining traction, with Q2 revenue up 12.3% and improved margins post-Family Dollar spinoff. Raised full-year guidance reflects strong comp sales and operational improvements, but near-term tariff headwinds remain a concern. The fixed $1.25 price model, cost discipline, and expanding store base drive customer loyalty and steady growth.

Dollar Tree, Inc.'s recent -10% drop is justified due to weak earnings and revenue growth, not a buying opportunity. Long-term earnings growth has stalled, with real earnings growth negative after inflation, and recent EPS inflated by buybacks. The company no longer demonstrates the ability to outpace inflation, a key trait I require for high-quality, long-term investments.

Jobs data is softening, making a September Fed rate cut highly likely, but inflation remains stubbornly high, creating tension for markets. Gold and silver are surging as investors seek inflation hedges, while most equities struggle and stock picking becomes more important.

Dollar Tree is currently in Phase 9 of its 18-phase Adhishthana cycle on the monthly charts. Typically, Phase 9 is characterized by powerful breakouts and the onset of a significant rally.

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Joseph Feldman reaffirmed his Outperform rating and $130 price target on Dollar Tree Inc. DLTR after the discount retailer posted stronger-than-expected second-quarter results.

Piper Sandler analyst Peter Keith lowered the firm's price target on Dollar Tree to $108 from $112 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares following Q2 earnings. Q2 was solid with a 6.5% comp that was balanced across both ticket/traffic and consumables/discretionary growth. However, the strong EPS beat wasn't completely flowed through to 2025 guidance, as the second half of the year has some incremental headwinds related to tariffs and general liability claims, the firm notes.

JPMorgan raised the firm's price target on Dollar Tree to $140 from $138 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The company reported a "beat and raise" fiscal Q2 but reduced its fiscal 2025 margin outlook, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Despite crushing Q2 earnings expectations, Dollar Tree (DLTR) stock dipped 8% on Wednesday but is still up more than +35% year to date.
