Dollar General DG

Dollar General Corporation is reporting strong financial performance with a significant 109.3% increase in stock price over the past year and a 4.6% rise in net sales, reaching $10.6 billion. As the company approaches its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results, it anticipates a year-over-year sales growth of 4.8% despite a projected earnings per share (EPS) decline of 5.4%. Investor confidence is bolstered by Guggenheim raising its price target from $140 to $165 and ambitious plans for strategic real estate expansion involving nearly 4,885 new projects and capital expenditures of $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion. This comes on the heels of previous concerns regarding stagnating growth, a past stock slump of over 8%, and increased scrutiny from investors amid competitive pressures from Target.
