Current thesis
DG delivered a clean company-source Q1 EPS and operating-profit beat, with 2.0% comps, 1.4% traffic growth, 65 bps of gross-margin expansion, and EPS of $2.00 [#SEC-8K-2026-06-02]. Post-print analyst reaction was mixed but not negative across the board: Telsey reportedly reiterated Market Perform with a $140 target, and Guggenheim reportedly raised its FY26 EPS estimate to about $7.40 while still flagging margin concerns.
