Fundamental analysis of Dollar Tree, Inc.

DLTR · Nasdaq · Consumer

Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

62

out of 100

Dollar Tree, Inc. earns a fundamental-quality score of 62 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 0.81× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue -4.8%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Dollar Tree is the everything-for-a-dollar chain (now slightly more): thousands of stores where the fixed low price is the hook. Its purchase of Family Dollar, the sister chain for low-income neighborhoods, turned out to be a decade of indigestion it is still purging.

What will shape its future

  • The squeezed consumer: inflation brings new customers, but its core shopper suffers most.
  • Flexible pricing: breaking the single dollar earns margin and risks the brand promise.
  • Resolving the Family Dollar problem, the drag defining its recent history.
