- Reaffirms Third-Quarter and Fiscal 2025 Outlook
- Fiscal 2026-2028 Earnings per Share (EPS) Expected to Grow at a 12 to 15 Percent Compounded Annual Growth Rate, Built Upon an Underlying Long-Term Annual EPS Growth Algorithm Target of 8 to 10 Percent Plus the Benefit of Certain Discrete Cost Items
- Fiscal 2026 EPS Expected to Grow in the High Teens Percent, as a Result of Higher Discrete Cost Benefits in 2026
Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR) today will host its 2025 Investor Day at the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City to outline its operational strategy and financial outlook for the years ahead.
The event will feature presentations by Dollar Tree’s Chief Executive Officer Mike Creedon and key members of his executive team, followed by a Q&A session. The group will discuss the Company’s products, customers, stores, supply chain, and people and highlight a vision for profitable growth of Dollar Tree as a standalone banner separate from Family Dollar.
The executive team’s presentations will cover the following:
- A New Era for Dollar Tree
- Building an Ever-Changing, More Relevant Assortment
- Creating a More Connected Customer Experience in Stores
- Evolving the Supply Chain for Store Growth
- Building It to Last with Disciplined Growth and Returns
The session will present a three-year outlook for the Company that yields a 12 to 15 percent compounded annual growth rate in EPS for fiscal years 2026–2028. This is based upon underlying annual EPS growth of 8 to 10 percent, increased by the absence of recent discrete cost items tied to tariff mitigation, multi-price store conversions, lost distribution capacity, and the sale of Family Dollar. EPS is expected to grow by a high-teens percentage in fiscal year 2026 due to the timing of certain discrete cost benefits.
“We are excited about this new chapter in Dollar Tree’s history. We are enhancing our value and customer focus as a multi-price, technology-enabled retailer that can compete and win in today’s market. Our ability to offer merchandise at a range of prices frees us to optimize our assortment,” said Creedon. “Our refreshed leadership team is energized, aligned, and committed. Our strategy is clear, and our ambition is bold – to build Dollar Tree for the next 40 years and beyond as a company that wins with customers, empowers associates, strengthens communities, and delivers exceptional long-term returns for shareholders.”
In conjunction with today’s event, Dollar Tree is reaffirming its third-quarter and fiscal 2025 outlook, originally provided on September 3, 2025, and providing the following business updates for the third quarter fiscal 2025:
- Comparable same-stores sales growth of 3.8 percent quarter-to-date
- Repurchased 2.8 million shares for $271 million quarter-to-date
- Our EPS outlook for third quarter and fiscal year 2025 has not been adjusted for the benefit of our third quarter 2025 share repurchases
