Dollar General's Outlook Assumes Continued Uncertainty, Impact from Winter Storms -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-12 21:41

0941 ET - Dollar General is weaker in early trading after the discount retailer's full-year outlook called for growth to slow. Finance chief Donny Lau says on a call with analysts that the outlook aims to weigh the company's growth initiatives and efforts to mitigate cost inflation with the likelihood for continued uncertainty, particularly around the consumer. The outlook also accounts for winter storms last month, which resulted in temporary store closures and dented sales. "Since that time, we've been pleased with the solid rebound in top-line performance," Lau says. "With all of that in mind, we expect 1Q comp sales to be in the low 2% range." Dollar General is off 7%. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
