Great analysis Sven! I started buying DG sub $80 per share and will continue DCA at lower prices. Also, would you mind doing an update on both WBA and WBD and where it would fit into your risk/reward graph?
Sven, thanks, now considering this a buy for myself. Just a small remark, the drop in Net Income seems to have been more impacted by the increase in operating costs (Selling, etc) than by the drop of cost margin. As revenue continues to increase and management could potentially trim down a part of their operating costs, I wouldn't be surprised if net income is back to the $2B level in a year or so and growing from there.
Thank you Sven. I got 300 shares of DG when it dipped to around $80. I think next earnings will be better because of the coming holiday season shopping
Hi Sven, What about DGs debt of 24billion usd, considering they only have 6,7 billion in equity, and they only make 1,6 billion in profit a year. Seems like with an interest rate of 4% they are paying a billion in interest a year. What are you thoughts about this, am I overseeing something perhaps?
I follow DG closely all I see is lack of investor sentiment. Right now every investor is focusing on technology. I don't own any share but there's potential here for long term holders.
Time to repay net debt is around 10 years with recent FCF numbers. On an EV basis it takes your 20 years to get your money back. I would never buy the whole company but at 10% FCF yield a 2x in the next 5 years is certainly possible. Especially when rates come down.
@@Value-Investing Ok but Buffett told me I should act as if I buy the whole company 🤔. Maybe I should instead just pick up some shares, hope for a double and let the next one with the debt.
Sven, I agree on the value of DG but am waiting for reports as I anticipate lower quarterly earning this year with the stock price taking a hit and lower cost basis. I have held and sold DG in the past and will continue as long as management continues making good decisions.
I find it helps to look at the sector charts from Trump’s first term surprise win in 2016. The patterns in movement seem to be the same: namely, Chinese stocks down significantly, any stock that relies on Chinese trade prices being low, but very little concern about Chinese exposures on the demand side - so Apple prices continue to climb even as the Chinese consumer weakens dramatically. The reality is that Chinese stocks actually climbed dramatically under Trump 1.0 after three or four months. So, I’m trying to capitalize on the Trump tariff fears right now.
Can someone explain to us non USA citizens, how the business model works? How can a small chain be competitive without the economies of scale against Walmart, Costco etc? Do they have some competitive advantage?
This is a quality and intresting question! You can study this, with this main question in head. Look up their vision, mission and is it in line with their enterprise strategy, find out strength/ weakness/ oppertunities/ Threats compared to their competitors. Product brands and productlifetime... There is much more to figure out for sure. All in all its a good approach to find out if its a worthy investment for long term compared to its competitors. But the market is fast and the approach that Sven Does is quick and sticks to its scope. Because the way I set it out now does not "really" fit for investing, because its more like business entrepreneurship, which helps the business but does not particually have to help and increase the price of its stock. In my opinion you are right, Dollar General doesn't really produce anything and they just sell. So as an investor you are better of to buy its bigger competitor. Also I really like that you asked a very important question for a qualitive study in this comment section, which isn't seen a lot here.
DG may still have a chance against WMT and am considering buying it a bit more. But, Sven, you can't believe what a CEO says on an earnings call (5:13), can you?...
Funny you make a video like this right after I opened a position in DG a few weeks ago at 80$! I was trying to decide between DG and DLTR and in the end i bought a little bit of both. DG has a little too much debt so it had to stop the buyback exactly at the wrong moment, i would prefer if they stop the dividend instead, and it seems they have also some personnel related problems that they're trying to solve. DLTR seems to be in a similar situation, with less debt and a problem with their Family Dollar branch. Pretty good ROIC with both of them but I think people are underestimating their earnings potential, if you take away their "Growth Spending" they will be a lot more profitable and the room for espansion in the US is pretty low, they will be everywhere in the US in a couple more years, all that growth capex will go away and they should improve their margins... On the contrary i'm still a little bit on the sideline with ULTA, they sell expensive items and in the last recession in the GFC they didn't do as well... I will wait probably a SUB 300 price for more margin of safety! Thank you for your work as always Sven! 💪
When the new Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) act salary requirements go into effect, DG will be required to pay exempt employees $58k vs the current minimum of $43k salary per year. I.E. Store managers who they consistently require to work 8-30 hours of unpaid overtime per week. $15,000 X 19,400 stores = Dollar General loses another 20% in gross profit per quarter.
Ciao Sven! What about The Italian Sea Group? It might have some issues with tariffs, with Trump's amministration. It has a low p/e like Sanlorenzo. Now has 7.5 nearly p/e
I actually added to my $DG position to a total of 100 shares yesterday. Sold a June 20, 2025 $105 covered call for a premium of $415. Easy money really.
If you look at the breakdown for discretionary vs consumables between Dollar General and Dollar Tree, Dollar General has a 53:47 and dollar general has a 19:81 split (Source CNBC Why dollar stores are sruggling). Tarrifs would hurt discretionary items more than consumables since consumables are food products generally produced in the USA or imported from nearby countries while discretionary are mainly Made-in-china products, so in my mind, tarriffs, if they do pass which I don't think the 10% overall would pass, would hurt dolalr tree more than dollar general so while dollar general might have lower revenues or earnings depending on whether they push costs onto consumers, DG could gain some market share over DT.
Dollar tree cut their guidance, profit is down…I bought Dollarama (Canada) not because their stock price is high, but because the growth is stable, the dividend is going up reasonably with profits, they are expanding into Mexico. Their stores are in better shape than their US counter parts. Their stores are often in the same mall as Walmart, who you would think is their largest competitor...
@@Value-Investing Warren never bought apple he had other people on his team make the decision for him since he was still using a flip phone until just a few years ago and does not understand the tech business but he just sold half of apple position yet it keeps going up so he is wrong again.
Did you watch CNBC (not the television youtube-channel, just CNBC) had a short document about dollar stores? There was interesting points about structural problems of the business model.
In Relation to Dollar tree its a very small amount of China garbage in the inventory.. watch the cnbc Video from About a Werk ago.. "why dollar are struggling" they give you the exact percentage
@@RonaldRendite it's not just chinese made goods that will get tariffs, things made in India, Thailand, mexico. how much of their inventory won't get hit with import tax?
I think it depends on your selection pool of stocks, if you compare it with energy, basic material producers, DG is not so interesting. Economic downturn hits hard on retail business, many chinese retail business went bankrupted this year, stores are hard hits.
Price doesn’t = value. The dollar stores in general are poorly ran & have saturated the market in the USA. They have 0 online capacity & lots of debt. Overtime good companies get cheap due to the market at no fault of their own. Mr Market does its thing. Daily videos ….. Need material ,I get it.
Sven get clued in not Dollar Store you want to buy Dollarama stock on the TSX in Canada. The Yuan will devalue at least 50 percent against the U.S. dollar and at least 45 percent against the Canadian dollar. If Canada isn't forced to slap 60 percent tariffs on goods coming into Canada from China profits at Dollarama will rise will the falling Yuan. The 60 percent tariffs on Chinese goods coming into America will lower profits at Dollar General but the falling Yuan will counteract some of those lower profits.
Not an issue for them with those cash flows. Look at the maturities, only 750M this year then nothing for several years and they have accumulated cash to pay off the maturity this year. It is why buybacks are on hold.
@danaphanous isn't cash 10% of their debt. so not much? also the signs of recession everywhere with so many places cutting jobs everyday and trump tarriffs coming. very unpredictable future.
@@Pizza-gb1ch Yep, that's why the buybacks are on hold. Was the stupidest thing ever to take on so much debt for expansion AND buy back at highs in 2022. Keep in mind that money also went towards growing the store fleet and expanding square footage a lot, investments, etc, but the mass of buybacks was a mistake. It is easily serviceable, and locked in at pretty low long term rates as I mentioned, but it was still very dumb to lever up the balance sheet more than needed for buybacks at high evals right as interest rates were starting to rise. My guess is management wanted a bunch of money cheap while the market still loved them, but then got a bit trigger happy when the cash pile was large. Anyway, they are not in danger with those cash flows, but a clear mistake from the past that has contributed to the buybacks being on hold and the stock decline.
The new tariffs will really affect this business. Any slight rise in prices has an outsized impact on their struggling customer base. That said, revenues will go down but people still have to eat
DG has huge problems not everything is in the balance sheet, they are in debt, salaries are shit and most "cheap products" are cheaper in wallmart and target. Americans slowly have less and less incentive to buy from them and they are no longer cheap they raised the prices also with Trump their business will suffer due to china sanctions (they import a lot of Chinese cheap inventory)
Dollar General could be viewed as a 'China stock' operating under the guise of a U.S. ISIN. It exemplifies the type of overhyped U.S. equities where the market is gradually realizing the hidden risks. With a significant portion of its inventory sourced from China, Dollar General is deeply tied to Chinese manufacturing and its cost advantages. Have you considered the implications of this dependency? If Trump, who has proposed universal tariffs of 20% and even higher rates of 60% on Chinese imports, returns to office, these policies could massively disrupt Dollar General’s supply chain and compress margins further. Is this truly a secure 'value investment,' or is it another U.S.-branded entity with an overlooked and potentially significant China exposure? 10% Return is way too low for a fake US Stock Seth Klarman also bought Intel. He is not an INVESTOR, he is a Daytrader who has no clue about semiconductors.
Tariffs are inflationary, so it's also possible that more people will be turning to discount retailers like DG to save money, especially if there is a recession.
@@thatpointinlife as a percantage of imported goods vs american made, it is mucher higher % of imported in DG, so their costs will rise more, and profitability will be effected in a more dramatic way. While more people might shop there to save, their original customers will have less to spend, so potentially a wash. DG does well in small towns without other options, in more suburban areas, there are many other stores with cheaper prices than DG.
It is incredibly important to remember that when analysts talk about risk they are referring to quarterly performance bonus risk and when they say long-term they mean the quarter after this quarter.
