Walmart Gains And Dollar Tree Adapts While Dollar General Faces Challenges: KeyBanc Analysis
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
KeyBanc analyst Bradley B. Thomas analyzed customer shopping behavior and loyalty shifts within Dollar Tree Inc (DLTR) and Dollar General Corp (DG). He noted that DLTR's management changes should yield positive results, but there's risk from increasing competition and price investments, particularly from Walmart Inc (WMT). DG may respond with additional efforts to improve traffic. Walmart is best positioned in the near term and sees long-term growth opportunities. DLTR's investments in Family Dollar are driving better performance. Walmart's gains can continue to pressure nearly all other retailers.
