Recently, Dollar General (DG) has witnessed both ups and downs in its stock market performance. Due to its stock price plunging over 30%, resulting from customers not having sufficient funds for shopping, DG's shares have outperformed competitors on strong trading days. Both Vontobel Holding Ltd. and Wedge Capital Management have purchased substantial DG shares, while Swedbank AB has increased its stake in DG. Notwithstanding that, analysis of DG remains sceptic, with most analysts giving an average 'Hold' recommendation.
Several asserted DG as the cheapest retail stock to invest in, given its long-term potential, despite underperformance on particular trading days. However, there were analysts such as Jim Cramer who had a bearish view on DG. The recent holiday season had DG unveiling added savings on toys as part of their holiday strategies.
The problematic financial situation of its customers took a toll on DG, resulting in paradoxically high footfall, but less buying. The overall share price decline turned DG into a bargain for investors seeking 'buy-the-dip' opportunities. Notwithstanding reduced Q2 earnings, DG is optimistically seen as a turnaround stock by some.
