Dollar Tree (DLTR-Q) has faced challenges due to Covid, higher interest rates, and a slowing economy, resulting in less traffic and fewer discretionary purchases affecting margins. The company is reassessing the number of Family Dollar stores and has been hit by retail shrinkage in the US. Despite implementing successful strategies, the company's poor quarter and margin erosion have led to a slump in shares. However, there is potential for growth as the company introduces more price points and right-sizes stores.

Introducing multiple price points, which increases basket size. Its turnaround story was hit by Covid, higher interest rates, and the slowing economy. Less traffic. Fewer discretionary purchases, which hit margins. Reassessing number of Family Dollar stores, which could be reduced. Strategies gaining traction.

COMMENT
Dollar Tree

The question was on his preference between Dollar General and Dollar Tree in the U.S. Dollar General has cratered so it looks like a buying opportunity but actually isn't since it benefited from the pandemic and may just be returning to normal levels. This also causes him to be cautious on Dollar Tree.

Disappointing. Latest results showed topline traction, but margins were hit. Repositioning. Lower income households have been hit by interest rates, so discretionary spending is down. Retail shrinkage a big US problem. She's holding for now.

In the early innings of implementing the successful strategy of DOL. Increasing price points and right-sizing stores. Doing well in this environment of a weakening consumer.

Dollar General question

DG has executed very well but they've been dealing with cost inflation, consumers buying lower-margin consumables vs. discretionary and "shrink" (theft). Owns Dollar Tree, which suffers similar problems, but DT has been introducing more price points as the new CEO restructure, so she sees more potential here.

Delivered a poor quarter and blamed theft, but they also suffer from margin erosion and a store transformation that keeps taking longer. Guidance was poor. Shares have slumped.

Dollar Tree bought Family Dollar in 2015. The latter enjoyed a pop during the pandemic, but historically has not delivered consistent profitable growth. The street has mixed feelings about DT with seven buys, five holds and two sells. Read The dollar wars for our full analysis.

Has done. They continue to open new stores with some international presence. Inflation and a possible recession could drive more foot traffic. Highly defensive. She owns Dollar Tree in the US instead which offers more upside as they raise prices and add products. DOL also trades at a premium to peers.

Likes entire discount sector as economy heads into a recession. Company is well positioned and has new management in place. New pricing strategy giving flexibility on $1 cost for items. Higher income shoppers also starting to frequent store. Increasing products and SKU list with more shelving etc.

(A Top Pick Oct 25/21, Up 51%) High inflation making shoppers more price weary. $1 price point has been moved up ($1.25), which has created opportunities. Strong business that continues to perform well. New management team is executing well. Has sold shares to take advantage of other opportunities.

TOP PICK
Dollar Tree

During economic uncertainty and weakness, traffic to these stores rises. They're attracting customers from households with incomes around $80,000. They're introducing $1.25 and $3-5 price points which benefit basket size. They're adding more products to mix consumables with discretionary items; as an economy weakens, consumables outperform discretionary. DLTR trades at a lower PE than Dollarama and Dollar General. (Analysts’ price target is $169.16)

(A Top Pick Jun 22/21, Up 42%) New management team has embraced multiple price point strategy. Has since sold shares as company has hit price target. Very healthy company. Would look at buying again if the share price falls to ~$110-$120.

(A Top Pick Jul 12/21, Up 61%) He just sold all shares to buy SBUX. Last summer, DLTR was strongly hit by supply chain problems, but they raised prices from $1 and integrated products from Family Dollar that they bought. An activist accelerated these moves.
