Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane has reiterated their bullish stance on DLTR stock, giving a Buy rating yesterday.
Kate McShane’s rating is based on a comprehensive analysis of Dollar Tree’s current performance and future prospects. Despite the company’s fourth-quarter earnings miss and the market’s concerns regarding the ability to achieve the long-term earnings per share target amid challenges such as shrink and mix, McShane sees these issues as temporary. She believes that the adverse market reaction to the earnings report may be an overreaction, noting that her estimates only see a modest decline. McShane is optimistic that the existing headwinds could normalize, suggesting that the company’s current low stock valuation presents a buying opportunity.
Furthermore, McShane emphasizes the positive indicators of Dollar Tree’s strategic initiatives, which are demonstrating solid traffic growth and market share gains, indicating the effectiveness of the turnaround efforts. The decision to accelerate store closures allows for a reallocation of investment funds, which is expected to contribute to improved long-term profitability. Additionally, she points out the company’s advantageous position in not requiring incremental investments in labor or pricing strategies, which aligns with investor concerns about profitability. Based on these insights, McShane reiterates her Buy rating and sets a 12-month price target of $152 for Dollar Tree’s stock.
In another report released yesterday, Wells Fargo also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $180.00 price target.
