May 28, 2026 — Dollar Tree announced a partnership with DoorDash to provide on-demand access to Dollar Tree assortments and promotional offers for new consumers. August 6, 2026 — the company scheduled its second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings conference call for August 27, 2026.
Technical Analysis
ADX reads 27.13, indicating a strong trend environment; trend strength supports near-term directional conviction but does not assign direction by itself.
DI+ sits at 27.75 with a peak-and-reversal pattern, which signals a bearish shift in the plus-directional series; DI- at 16.63 also shows a peak-and-reversal pattern that signals a bullish shift in the negative-directional series. The paired peaks imply recent churn between buyers and sellers and increase the odds of range-bound swings around current levels.
MACD equals 2.57 with a signal line at 2.47 and a peak-and-reversal trend. The peak-and-reversal reads as bearish momentum, yet the MACD currently sits just above its signal line, which registers as a recent bullish crossover signal; the combination suggests momentum has cooled after a peak but retains a short-lived bullish bias.
MRO at 25.03 (peak-and-reversal) remains positive, indicating the market price sits above the model target and that mean reversion pressure exists — expect a propensity for price concession from premium levels rather than immediate runaway strength.
RSI at 59.61 with a dip-and-reversal trend indicates recovery from a short-term pullback and supports near-term upside attempts, though the level stops short of overbought territory.
Price sits above the 20-day ($130.61), 50-day ($124.64) and 200-day ($116.10) averages, and the 12-day EMA (price 12-day EMA 131.30, trend increasing) confirms upward-sloping short- and medium-term averages; this alignment favors bullish posture provided those averages hold as support. Price trades modestly above the 1x Bollinger upper band ($133.33), suggesting a slight extension versus recent volatility rather than an extreme breakout.
Volume today (~2.62M) exceeds the 10-day average (~2.06M), indicating above-average participation on the recent move, while longer-term volume averages remain higher; the uplift in short-term activity gives the current move higher statistical weight but not a definitive trend continuation signal.
Fundamental Analysis
Earnings per share printed $1.74 versus an estimate of $1.54, producing an EPS surprise of approximately 12.99%. Forward EPS sits at $1.935 and forward P/E at about 57.72x; the trailing P/E measures roughly 58.85x, indicating elevated multiples relative to absolute earnings today.
Margins show mixed dynamics: gross margin runs near 36.87%, operating margin about 9.51% and EBIT margin roughly 9.62%. EBIT margin changed QoQ by -24.50% but registered essentially flat YoY (+0.14%), signaling compression quarter-to-quarter with near-stable year-over-year profitability. Gross margin improved YoY by 3.52% (YoY gross margin +3.52%), while operating metrics tightened sequentially.
Revenue metrics portray contraction: revenue growth reads -8.71% on the provided metric and a deeper reported year-over-year figure at -95.48% in the dataset labels; the dataset shows severe sequential declines as well (revenue growth QoQ -159.16%). Operating cash flow reached $644,000,000 with free cash flow of $391,100,000 and a free cash flow yield of about 1.98%. Cash conversion ratio stands at 9.68 and the company ended the period with $1,007,300,000 in cash and short-term investments.
Leverage remains elevated: total debt $7,593,300,000, net debt ~$1,925,300,000, debt-to-equity ~216.52%, and debt to EBITDA ~11.58x. Interest coverage at ~29.37x alleviates immediate solvency concerns but the absolute leverage measures imply constrained financial flexibility versus lower-leverage peers. Current ratio ~1.16 and quick ratio ~0.39 show modest near-term liquidity.
Operational efficiency and returns: asset turnover ~0.36 (slightly below the industry peer mean of ~0.38), return on equity ~9.90% (above the industry peer mean of ~7.13%), and return on assets ~2.55% (near peer mean). These data indicate solid capital returns despite lower turnover and higher leverage.
Valuation: WMDST values the stock as under-valued. The valuation judgment sits alongside high P/E multiples and modest free cash flow yield, implying WMDST’s model attributes intrinsic upside relative to current market pricing despite stretched multiples and elevated leverage.
