Today’s video takes a closer look at the discount store segment of the retail world, a segment which has been on fire as of late.
This industry actually has a top 13% rank so it is looking to keep up its momentum heading into a new stretch of earnings reports. And with a host of retail names offering up good reports, the expectations are likely high for this group too.
However, a better economy could actually have a negative impact on companies in this segment as consumers trade up for higher quality items. And with a multi-year run at their backs, there has to be concerns about a cool-off period and overvaluation. We will know for sure by the end of the week though, so let’s take a preview of a few of the important names in this group ahead of their reports…
Dollar General is riding a nice streak when it comes to beating expectations, while the company has a great fundamental score of ‘A’ too. Unfortunately, DG just fell to Zacks Rank #3 (hold) territory from buy level within the past week, while earnings estimates have been choppy lately. The stock is near multi-year highs though, so growth rates and the outlook will definitely have to deliver.
Dollar Tree is also running up to multi-year highs, but its shares have seen a much shakier trend when it comes to beating estimates. The stock does have a nice fundamental grade though, while it does possess a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) as well. Add this to a positive earnings ESP and there are fewer hurdles to continued gains in this name for the coming earnings season, even with the choppier history.
