My 'Sell' view on Dollar General has been accurate so far, as the stock has underperformed the S&P 500. Recent revenue delivery in Q3 FY25 has been adequate, posting a mild surprise vs consensus expectations. But the core consumer is still facing an affordability crisis. Dollar General's usage of promotions to sustain business with consumers is impairing gross and EBIT margins. This trend is expected to continue so long as the consumer's budget remains weak.

The better part of 2024 has been particularly challenging for dollar store chains like Dollar General (DG -1.89%) and Dollar Tree (DLTR -1.04%), the latter of which also owns Family Dollar. Whereas higher-earning households have comfortably curbed costs by shopping at Walmart (WMT 0.39%) more often than they have in the past, Dollar Tree's and Dollar General's core customers don't have a comparable downgrade option.

I am neutral on Dollar General due to concerns about balancing growth and profitability in an elevated promotional environment. DG's 3Q24 results showed 5% y/y net sales growth, but margin compression led to a 29% y/y decline in EPS to $0.89. While low-single-digit SSSG is achievable, the promotional environment may mute earnings growth, impacting DG's valuation multiple.

The uncertain macroeconomic landscape has caused consumers to rein in their spending and search for value. This has been a boon for off-price retailers in the consumer discretionary sector like The TJX Companies Inc. NYSE: TJX and Ross Stores Inc.
