Dollar General Corp (NYSE:DG) shares surged after reporting a smaller than expected FY23 sales decline of 3.4% to $9.858 billion, beating estimates. Despite a decrease in net sales due to one less week of sales compared to the previous year, same-store sales grew by 0.7%. The company saw a decrease in gross profit margin and operating income, but EPS of $1.83 exceeded expectations. Dollar General announced a quarterly dividend and provided an optimistic outlook for FY24, including net sales growth and same-store sales growth projections, along with plans for new store openings and remodels.
