Dollar General (DG) earnings Q2 2024
SHARE

Dollar General, a popular discount retailer known for catering to lower-income customers in rural areas, faced a significant setback as its shares plummeted by 25% following a revised sales and profit forecast for the full year. The company cited economic struggles among its core customer base as a key factor influencing the downward trend in sales.

According to the revised guidance, Dollar General now expects a modest increase in same-store sales of 1.0% to 1.6% for fiscal year 2024, down from the initial projection of 2% to 2.7%. Earnings per share are also expected to be lower, with a revised range of $5.50 to $6.20 compared to the previous forecast of $6.80 to $7.55 per share.

CEO Todd Vasos acknowledged the challenges faced by the company, stating, “While we believe the softer sales trends are partially attributable to a core customer who feels financially constrained, we know the importance of controlling what we can control.” He emphasized the need for Dollar General to focus on improving store operations and inventory management to mitigate losses.

In the second fiscal quarter, Dollar General reported earnings per share of $1.70, falling short of analysts’ expectations of $1.79. Revenue also missed estimates, totaling $10.21 billion compared to the anticipated $10.37 billion. Net income for the quarter was $374 million, or $1.70 per share, down from $469 million, or $2.13 per share, in the previous year. Despite the challenges, sales saw a modest increase of 4.2%, reaching $10.21 billion compared to $9.80 billion in the same period last year.

The negative impact on Dollar General’s performance also affected its competitor, Dollar Tree, which experienced a more than 7% decline in early trading. The news sent ripple effects through the retail sector, highlighting the challenges faced by companies catering to lower-income consumers in a volatile economic environment.

As Dollar General works to address the underlying issues affecting its business, investors and analysts will be closely monitoring the company’s efforts to improve sales and profitability in the coming quarters. The retailer’s ability to adapt to changing consumer behaviors and economic conditions will be crucial in determining its long-term success in the retail industry.
