Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree operates discount stores across the United States and Canada, with over 8,600 shops under its namesake banner and nearly 7,800 under Family Dollar. About 47% of Dollar Tree's sales in fiscal 2023 were composed of consumables (including food, health and beauty, and cleaning products), around 45% from variety items (including toys and homewares), and over 5% from seasonal items. The Dollar Tree banner sells most of its merchandise at the $1.25 price point and positions its stores in well-populated suburban markets. Conversely, Family Dollar primarily sells consumable merchandise (80% of the banner's sales) at prices below $10. About two-thirds of Family Dollar's stores are located in urban and suburban markets, with the remaining one-third located in rural areas.

Walmart&#8217;s CFO, John David Rainey, recently said that if President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs take effect, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42085839/us-retail-giant-walmarts-growth-is-fueled-by-75-of-its-customers-earning-in-six-figures-ceo-doug-mcmillon-explains">Walmart</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) will need to raise prices on certain items.
Speaking with CNBC, Rainey explained, "We never want to raise prices. Our model is everyday low prices. But there probably will be cases where prices will go up for consumers."&nbsp;

</ul>
These proposed tariffs include a 10-20% tax on all imports and could go as high as 60-100% on products from China. Retailers like Walmart, AutoZone, Lowe's and others are already speaking out about how these potential changes could make everyday goods more expensive for customers.
The majority of goods Walmart sells are not at risk of tariffs, as about two-thirds of the items sold by Walmart are made, grown or assembled in the U.S. However, tariffs may have a major effect on the remaining one-third of imported goods. In recent years, Walmart has been expanding its supply chain by sourcing from other countries to lessen its reliance on China.
Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison also expressed concern, saying they're talking to suppliers to understand how the tariffs might affect prices.

Other companies are also taking measures to deal with the tariffs. AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) CEO Philip Daniele, for example, has recently stated that if tariffs are imposed, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42027079/we-will-pass-those-tariff-costs-back-to-the-consumer-says-ceo-of-autozone-heres-a-look-at-other-companies-raising-prices">they will pass those costs onto the consumers</a>. Because AutoZone anticipates the impact on their margins, they even plan to hike prices before the tariffs go into effect. Similarly, Steve Madden intends to shift some of its production to Vietnam, Cambodia and Mexico to lessen its dependency on Chinese production, though price increases are still possible.

The National Retail Federation also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">predicted price rises for commonplace goods</a> like apparel, shoes and furniture, warning that these tariffs essentially tax the American people. They anticipate that a $100 coat may increase by up to $21, while a $90 pair of sneakers might cost between $106 and $116.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/10/41451898/what-analysts-are-saying-about-dollar-tree-stock">Dollar Tree</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), which imports many of its products from China, may have to rethink its fixed-price-point model of $1.25 per item if tariffs push costs too high. This could jeopardize the retailer&#8217;s value-focused business strategy by forcing it to either absorb the additional expense or pass it on to customers.

Walmart CFO Says They Don't Want To Raise Prices, But 'Prices Will Go Up For Consumers' Due To Upcoming Tariffs

Dollar Tree's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NYSE">DLTR</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.59% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 12.05 million shares sold short, which is 6.8% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.42 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Dollar Tree Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732210212_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Dollar Tree has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Dollar Tree's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Dollar Tree's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.08%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs have already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41871407/trumps-tariffs-deportations-and-tax-cuts-may-push-prices-higher-experts-say-its-pretty-clear">begun to upend businesses</a> in several industries and many are taking action to safeguard their profits.

Philip Daniele, the CEO of AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>), has stated unequivocally that if these tariffs are imposed, consumers will bear the expense. On a recent earnings call, Daniele said, &#8220;If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer.&#8221; The company expects to raise prices even before the tariffs take effect, anticipating how these new policies will impact its margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Else Is Raising Prices?</h2>
Many other businesses, particularly those that depend significantly on foreign suppliers, are also preparing for possible price increases, so AutoZone is not the only company preparing for these changes.&nbsp;
Steve Madden (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOO#NASDAQ">SHOO</a>) is one of the first companies to make a move. The shoe retailer, which sources 70% of its products from China, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41862692/steve-madden-announces-plans-to-move-production-to-avoid-trump-tariffs-but-theres-a-catch">announced that it will cut its reliance</a> on Chinese production by half, moving to places like Vietnam, Cambodia and Mexico.

Columbia Sportswear (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>) also raised concerns about how tariffs would make it more difficult to maintain the affordability of its products.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">National Retail Federation</a> expressed similar views, describing the tariffs as &#8220;a tax on American families&#8221; and warning that the cost of daily goods like furniture, shoes and clothes might rise sharply.
According to their research, a $90 pair of sneakers might cost $106-116 and a $100 coat could cost up to $21 more. Footwear companies, in particular, are worried – since nearly 99% of all shoes sold in the U.S. are made abroad, it will be tough to move production to the U.S. anytime soon.

According to CEO Donald Allan Jr., the company has been considering several options, but manufacturing their goods in the United States isn&#8217;t considered practical because of financial difficulties. Rather, they will probably pass on any higher expenses to customers. &#8220;And obviously, coming out of the gate, there would be price increases associated with tariffs that we put into the market,&#8221; Allan stated.
Even dollar stores aren&#8217;t immune. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/10/41451898/what-analysts-are-saying-about-dollar-tree-stock">Dollar Tree</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), which imports many of its items from China, might have to rethink its fixed-price-point model of $1.25 per item if tariffs increase costs too much. Like other importers, the company faces a difficult choice – absorb higher costs, which would hit profits or raise prices, which could challenge its value-focused business model.
For now, many companies are waiting to see what will actually happen with the proposed tariffs, but one thing is clear – if they do go into effect, the cost of imports will rise and those increases will most likely reach consumers.

This Edison International Analyst Begins Coverage On A Bullish Note; Here Are Top 5 Initiations For Thursday

Keybanc analyst Bradley Thomas downgrades Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) from Overweight to Sector Weight.

Keybanc Downgrades Dollar Tree to Sector Weight

The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to record levels on Wednesday after Donald Trump was elected as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the 47th U.S. president.</a>
In Congress, Republicans clinched a majority in the Senate, while the House race remains close. As of Wednesday morning&#8217;s tabulations, Republicans held 198 seats versus 180 for Democrats.
The S&amp;P 500 index, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), climbed 2% to 5,900 points, while the Dow soared over 3% to 43,500 points. The blue-chip index, monitored through the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), marked its biggest single-day gain since November 2022.
The financials and industrials sectors were the top performers, up 5.2% and 3%, respectively.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 witnessed smaller gains, up 1.8%, while small-cap stocks skyrocketed, with the Russell 2000 index spiking over 5%. 
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often called the &#8220;fear gauge,&#8221; plummeted 22%, indicating waning investor concerns amid post-election optimism.
Investors are responding positively to the prospect of more lenient tax policies under the upcoming Trump administration, though inflation risks and potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy highlighted by economists seem to be largely overlooked by the market for now.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Implications Of A Trump Presidency, Goldman Sachs Weighs In</h3>
&#8220;If Republicans secure a narrow House majority, this would likely enable a full extension of the 2017 tax cuts, set to expire in 2025, potentially with some reinstated business investment incentives,&#8221; wrote Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sachs&#8217; chief economist.
A Republican-controlled Congress may also drive increased federal spending, particularly on defense, Goldman Sachs indicated.
"We would expect Trump to impose additional tariffs averaging 20% on imports from China," Hatzius added, highlighting that this policy could provide a &#8220;one-time boost to core PCE inflation&#8221; and &#8220;a modest drag on GDP.&#8221;
Goldman Sachs projects that the incoming Trump administration would likely pursue a more relaxed approach to regulation, especially in energy, financial services, and labor. 
However, while antitrust oversight may soften somewhat, scrutiny of the tech sector is expected to persist.

The most oversold stocks in the consumer staples sector presents an opportunity to buy into undervalued companies.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered oversold when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi">RSI is below 30</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Here's the latest list of major oversold players in this sector, having an RSI near or below 30.

Top 3 Defensive Stocks You'll Regret Missing In October

A week before the U.S. presidential election, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reiterated her arguments for the strength of the U.S. economy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/10/41589659/trump-vs-harris-state-by-state-2024-election-betting-odds-which-candidate-is-favored-to-wi">under the Biden administration.</a> 
&#8220;When President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, thousands of Americans were dying each day from COVID-19. The unemployment rate was 50 percent higher than it is now,&#8221; Yellen said at the American Bankers Association event.  
&#8220;Today, by contrast, the U.S. economy is strong,&#8221; she added. &#8220;We've seen robust economic growth, bolstered by solid consumer spending and business investment, even while inflation has come down significantly from its peak.&#8221;

Higher Cost of Living: While the cost of living has increased, wages are rising faster than the cost of goods, Yellen explained.
"The typical American <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/03/37899126/consumers-in-great-shape-despite-or-because-of-higher-interest-rates-those-with-cash-are-rewarded">can afford more goods</a> and services than before the pandemic. And Americans are starting new businesses at a record rate, reflecting optimism about the economy,&#8221; she said.
American voters in so-called battleground states <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40301432/kamala-harris-surges-ahead-of-trump-in-key-states-young-americans-bank-on-harris-for-economic-reviva">do not appear as optimistic</a> and lean toward Republican Donald Trump, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41312782/trumps-economic-policies-expected-to-drive-inflation-and-deficits-higher-than-harris-economists-say">despite economists&#8217; warnings</a>. 
A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that 61% of voters in battleground states say the economy is on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40861372/trump-says-no-federal-rates-cuts-before-2024-election-republican-congress-members-say-the-time-i">wrong track</a>. About 68% say the same about the cost of living. 
As the cost of living rises, American consumers have become increasingly focused on value and affordability. Mega-retailers, Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Target Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>), are aggressively lowering prices on groceries and household necessities and drawing more mid- and high-income customers than ever before. 
Dollar stores, including Dollar General Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) and Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), are reeling from the increased competition in the discount and affordable goods space. Both companies have reported a drop in foot-traffic and sales as the larger stores' focus on value has eroded their customer bases. 
Election Day Approaches: As the close of voting approaches, Yellen&#8217;s statements serve to reinforce the Biden administration&#8217;s economic narrative of recovery, growth and the importance of maintaining current policies for continued economic stability.
The Treasury Secretary warned that &#8220;deviating from our current course could jeopardize our economic trajectory."&nbsp;
Voters will express their views on the state of the economy and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41593510/economist-justin-wolfers-challenges-jd-vances-inflation-promise-couldnt-find-a-single-economist-who"> other issues</a> when ballots are counted in the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5.

Janet Yellen Touts 'Robust' Economic Growth As Election Nears, Polls Show Voters Disagree

Dollar Tree's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NYSE">DLTR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.35% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 11.77 million shares sold short, which is 6.64% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.68 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Dollar Tree has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Dollar Tree's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Dollar Tree's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.29%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
