Dollar General updated its fiscal year 2025 guidance to reflect first quarter results and tariff uncertainty. Its updated guidance “assumes the company will be able to mitigate a significant portion of the potential impact to its cost of goods sold from tariffs at currently implemented rates, but that consumer spending could be pressured by tariff-related price increases.” As a result of these moving parts, net sales growth for fiscal 2025 is targeted in the range of 3.7%-4.7%, up from prior expectations of 3.4%-4.4%. Same-store sales growth for the year is targeted at 1.5%-2.5% compared to prior expectations of 1.2%-2.2%. Diluted earnings per share is expected in the range of $5.20-$5.80 compared to its prior expectation in the range of $5.10-$5.80. Shares yield 2.4% at the time of this writing.
