Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR) is a well-known discount retail chain in the United States, offering a wide range of products at a fixed price point. The company operates under the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar brands, providing affordable options for consumers. As Dollar Tree prepares to release its quarterly earnings on December 4, 2024, analysts are estimating an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.07 and a revenue of approximately $7.45 billion.
Despite these projections, Dollar Tree’s stock has faced significant challenges. The stock has dropped by about 60% from its peak in 2022, reducing its market capitalization from over $47 billion to around $16 billion. This decline is partly due to store closures and rising selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses. Additionally, the company is under pressure from increased competition, particularly from retail giant Walmart, as highlighted by Seeking Alpha.
Dollar Tree’s financial metrics reveal further insights into its current situation. The company has a price-to-sales ratio is approximately 0.51, suggesting the stock is valued at about half of its sales per share. The enterprise value to sales ratio is around 0.84, reflecting the company’s valuation in relation to its sales.
The company’s debt-to-equity ratio stands at approximately 0.71, indicating a moderate level of debt compared to its equity. The current ratio is about 1.02, suggesting that Dollar Tree has slightly more current assets than current liabilities, which points to a reasonable level of short-term financial health. However, the recent departure of Dollar Tree’s CEO and potential tariffs under the Trump administration add uncertainty to the company’s outlook.
