Dollar General - Double digit gains after earnings

Open account Download free app

Dollar General, one of the leading retailers in the USA, has published its results for the third quarter of 2025. Despite (or perhaps due to) the gloomy atmosphere in the job market and among consumers, the chain of stores reported very good results, which resulted in significant increases. By the end of the session, the company's stock rose by as much as 12%.

Revenue fell this quarter to $10.60 billion, which was in line with consensus. Year over year, the company still records noticeable growth.
Where the results shine the brightest is profitability, with EPS reaching $1.28, beating market expectations by over 30%.
LfL sales increased by 4%.
Gross margin rose to as much as 29.9%, representing a 1% year-over-year increase.
Nominally, net profit increased by as much as 43.8% year over year, amounting to $282.7 million.

The management boasted about opening 196 new stores, modernizing 1,100 existing ones, and announced a dividend of $0.59. The management stated that next year they want to maintain the pace and achieve net sales growth of 4.7-4.9 percent, which is an increase from the previous forecasted level of 4.3-4.8.

Investors in the unassuming company seem to be on the verge of euphoria. The company presented very good results and even better forecasts despite market concerns about the condition of the American consumer. Concerns about the job market and consumer or broadly defined recession may, however, start to work in favor of companies like Dollar General. The store belongs to the budget segment. In times of weak economic conditions, such stores do not lose customers or revenue because their customers have no reason to limit their consumption, but they gain new customers who, in better times, would dine in restaurants or buy better products in more expensive stores.
