Movement Alert｜Dollar Tree falls 5.44% in Regular Trading after target price cut and weak Q3 guidance overhang

Market Focus10-24

On October 24, Dollar Tree fell 5.44% in Regular Trading, trading at $123.86 per share, with turnover of $119 million.

The clearest recent catalyst in the available information is a target price cut to $100 from $120 on October 10, while sentiment also remained pressured by the company’s previously issued third-quarter adjusted EPS outlook of $0.80 to $0.95, below the $1.40 analyst expectation cited in the news flow.

That softer near-term outlook stood in contrast to a stronger fiscal second quarter reported on August 27, when Dollar Tree posted adjusted EPS of $1.39 versus a $1.14 estimate, revenue of $4.887 billion versus $4.859 billion expected, comparable-store sales growth of 3.7%, and raised fiscal adjusted EPS guidance to $7.70 to $8.05. Even so, the weaker quarterly outlook appears to have continued to cap investor risk appetite despite the better full-year forecast.
