Dollar Tree shares slip despite Q4 earnings beat as outlook underwhelmsMarch 16, 2026 10:07 AM
IH Market News
Shares of Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR) moved lower in premarket trading Monday even after the retailer reported fourth-quarter results that topped Wall Street forecasts, as investors reacted negatively to the company’s guidance for fiscal 2026.The stock was down about 3% before the market open. For the quarter ended January 31, the discount retailer reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.56, exceeding analyst expectations of $2.53 by $0.03. Revenue totaled $5.5 billion, ahead of the $5.46 billion consensus estimate and up 9% from the same period a year earlier.Comparable store net sales increased 5% during the quarter, supported by a 6.3% rise in the average customer transaction, although this was partly offset by a 1.2% drop in store traffic.Despite the stronger-than-expected quarterly results, Dollar Tree’s forecast for fiscal 2026 disappointed investors. The company projected adjusted EPS between $6.50 and $6.90, with a midpoint of $6.70—below the analyst consensus of $6.74. It also expects annual revenue in the range of $20.5 billion to $20.7 billion, with the midpoint of $20.6 billion slightly under the $20.69 billion market forecast.For the first quarter, Dollar Tree anticipates adjusted EPS of $1.45 to $1.60 and comparable store net sales growth of between 3% and 4%.“Our strong results this quarter show that Dollar Tree remains America’s retail destination for value, convenience, and discovery – underscored by our 20th consecutive year of positive same store sales,” said Mike Creedon, Chief Executive Officer.Gross profit margin improved by 150 basis points to 39.1% in the quarter, mainly due to better pricing strategies and reduced freight costs, though these gains were partly offset by higher tariff-related expenses. Operating income rose 30.2% year over year to $695 million.For the full fiscal year 2025, Dollar Tree reported net sales of $19.4 billion, representing a 10.4% increase compared with the previous year, while comparable store sales grew 5.3%.Dollar Tree stock price

Fourth Quarter Results


Results for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2026 are reported on a continuing operations basis and reflect the Family Dollar segment as discontinued operations. Continuing operations reflect the results of the Dollar Tree segment and corporate, support and other.


Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are to the prior year’s fourth quarter, ended February 1, 2025 for the results of continuing operations.


Net sales increased 9.0% to $5.45 billion. Same-store net sales increased 5.0%, driven by a 6.3% increase in average ticket, partially offset by a 1.2% decline in traffic.


Gross profit increased 13.3% and gross profit margin increased 150 basis points to 39.1%. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by improved mark-on from pricing initiatives and lower domestic and import freight costs. These benefits were partially offset primarily by higher tariff costs.


Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 10 basis points to 26.9% of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to prior-year software impairments and contract termination costs, and lower stock compensation, partially offset by higher store payroll in support of pricing initiatives, higher general liability claims, and higher incentive compensation.


On an adjusted basis, which does not include strategic review costs, software impairments and termination costs, and the prior-year accelerated vesting of certain stock awards, the selling, general and administrative expense rate increased 170 basis points to 26.8% of total revenue.

DOLLAR TREE, INC.




Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures




(In millions, except per share data)




(Unaudited)







 


From time-to-time, the Company discloses certain financial measures not derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, or considered in isolation, for the purposes of analyzing operating performance, financial position, liquidity, or cash flows. The non-GAAP financial measures we have disclosed include adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses inclusive and exclusive of transition services agreement income, net; adjusted selling, general and administrative expense rate inclusive and exclusive of transition services agreement income, net; adjusted operating income (loss); adjusted operating income (loss) margin; adjusted income from continuing operations; adjusted diluted earnings per share; and adjusted effective tax rate, in each case with respect to our continuing operations. The Company believes providing additional information in these non-GAAP measures that exclude the unusual expenses described below is beneficial to the users of its financial statements in evaluating the Company's current operating results in relation to past periods. In addition, the Company's debt covenants exclude the impact of certain unusual expenses. The Company has included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in the following tables.







 


1.)
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we announced that we had initiated a comprehensive store portfolio optimization review which involved identifying stores for closure, relocation or re-bannering based on an evaluation of current market conditions and individual store performance, among other factors. In connection with this portfolio optimization review, we incurred $2.3 million of consulting, severance, and other related costs in fiscal 2024.







 


2.)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Family Dollar business after completing a strategic review of alternatives for the banner in fiscal 2024. The sale was completed on July 5, 2025. We incurred consulting, legal and other expenses totaling $4.8 million and $15.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2025 year-to-date, respectively, related to the sale and ongoing separation activities, including costs associated with optimizing the remaining Dollar Tree business post-divestiture. Costs associated with these activities incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2024 year-to-date totaled $9.1 million and $10.3 million, respectively.







 


3.)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, a tornado destroyed our Dollar Tree distribution center in Marietta, Oklahoma ("DC 8"). As a result of the destruction, we have incurred losses totaling $129.0 million, consisting of $70.0 million related to damaged inventory and $59.0 million related to property and equipment. These losses are fully insured and therefore not contemplated in the non-GAAP adjustments below. Since the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we have received insurance proceeds totaling $120.0 million related to damaged inventory, and $100 million related to damage property, including $70.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we recorded a gain of $29.7 million for excess insurance proceeds received over the losses incurred. We recorded an additional gain in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 totaling $61.8 million for excess insurance proceeds received over the losses incurred. In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we accrued $2.2 million of severance-related costs for employees at DC 8, and reduced our final severance accrual in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 by $0.2 million.







 


4.)
In connection with the decision to sell the Family Dollar business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded software impairments and related contract termination costs of approximately $58.0 million related to dual-banner merchandising and store system projects that were not fully implemented and were cancelled. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we recorded changes to the estimated software termination costs, as those were no longer considered required.







 


5.)
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Richard W. Dreiling, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer resigned from the Company. As a result, $27.1 million of expense was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 related to the accelerated vesting of an additional number of options pursuant to the terms of his Executive Agreement with the Company effective March 19, 2022, as amended January 25, 2023.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures




(In millions, except per share data)




(Unaudited)







 


In addition, the Company discloses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate from our business operations. Free cash flow may not represent the amount of cash flow available for general discretionary use, because it excludes non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt repayments and required settlements of recorded and/or contingent liabilities not reflected in cash flow from operations. The Company has included a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measures in the following tables.






 


A reconciliation of the projected adjusted diluted EPS, which is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as litigation reserves; restructuring charges; goodwill and intangible asset impairments; natural disasters; our store portfolio optimization review and strategic review and pending sale of Family Dollar, and the tax effect of all such items. Historically, the company has excluded these items from non-GAAP financial measures. The company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures and may also exclude other items that may arise (collectively, “non-GAAP adjustments”). The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments, such as a decision to exit part of the business or reaching settlement of a legal dispute, are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
