Dollar Tree, Inc. (DLTR)

In the past six months, Dollar Tree's stock reached a 52-week high of $109.74 on July 18, 2025. On July 7, 2025, Dollar Tree completed the sale of its Family Dollar business to Brigade Capital Management and Macellum Capital Management for approximately $1 billion. In June 2025, Dollar Tree's Board of Directors replenished its share repurchase program to $2.5 billion. The company also reported its first-quarter fiscal 2025 results on June 4, 2025, exceeding revenue expectations with sales of $4.64 billion. Following these results, UBS, Bernstein SocGen Group and JPMorgan Chase & Co. raised its price target for Dollar Tree.

Dollar Tree's working capital requirements peak in September and October due to seasonal goods like Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. Easter is a significant driver of discretionary demand, representing about 1% of annual sales. Adverse weather or an early Easter can negatively impact demand for seasonal and non-Easter discretionary categories. The company's product offerings change with the seasons, aligning with holidays or the beginning of school years.

Dollar Tree, Inc. is an American discount retailer in the Consumer Defensive sector, offering diverse products at competitive prices through Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores. While Dollar Tree traditionally focused on a single price point, they have expanded to include additional price points above $1.25, with some items priced up to $5 in Dollar Tree Plus! sections. The company also offers bulk sales through its DollarTree.com website and provides same-day local delivery from many store locations.

As of February 3, 2024, Dollar Tree, Inc. operated 16,774 retail discount stores across 48 contiguous U.S. states and five Canadian provinces, including 8,415 Dollar Tree and Dollar Tree Canada stores and 8,359 Family Dollar stores. The company's operations are supported by a nationwide logistics network, with 25 distribution centers in the United States and two in Canada.

In the past year, Dollar Tree's brand reputation has been influenced by a loss of $1.71 billion for its latest quarter and the announcement of the closure of nearly 1,000 stores. Additionally, a tornado destroyed Dollar Tree's distribution center in Marietta, Oklahoma, leading to its closure and the layoff of almost all staff. Despite these challenges, Dollar Tree continues to emphasize its commitment to providing value and a "thrill-of-the-hunt" shopping experience.

Dollar Tree, Inc.'s ownership structure includes institutional, retail, and individual investors. Top institutional holders include Vanguard Group Inc., BlackRock, Inc., Mantle Ridge LP, T.
