Dollar Tree Grapples With Volatile Trends, Cost Pressures, UBS Says

MT Newswires Live05-23 01:30

Dollar Tree (DLTR) is grappling with volatile trends as the retailer works to retain its appeal to budget-strained shoppers amid rising costs and mounting affordability pressures, UBS Securities said Thursday in a report.

UBS said the market widely expects fiscal Q1 comparable sales at or below the bottom end of the company's 3% to 4% full-year comp outlook, making the current 3.6% consensus appear too optimistic.

Dollar Tree will likely move its comparable-sales outlook to 1% to 3% for the year, which in turn would probably mean lowering its EPS forecast to $6.10 to $6.50 from the current $6.50 to $6.90 range, the report said.

The company will also need to account for higher fuel and transportation costs alongside a softer sales outlook, UBS said. Q1 results are due Thursday.

UBS lowered its price target on Dollar Tree stock to $132 from $138 and maintained its buy rating.
