Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Dollar Tree stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Dollar Tree has been doing well on the back of its long-term strategies and growth initiatives including store expansion and productivity enhancement, tapping of new markets and incorporating innovative sales channels to serve its patrons better. It remains well positioned to benefit from the synergies generated from the Family Dollar integration. Moreover, the company’s strategic investments in technological advancements and acquisitions reflect promise. However, the company's shares are underperforming the broader industry in the last one year. Also, its recently cut fiscal 2016 sales view and narrowed earnings guidance range is a concern. The increased costs and cannibalization effects will continue to hurt results throughout the integration and re-banner process. Nonetheless, Dollar Tree's splendid comps record remains noteworthy. Estimates have been stable lately, ahead of its fourth quarter earnings." (2/28/2017)
• 2. Buckingham Research analysts commented, "We are reiterating our BUY rating on shares of Dollar Tree (DLTR) and $101 PT (representing 26% upside) ahead of fourth quarter results. DLTR shares have dropped about 11% since 3QFY16 was reported as investors fretted the possible implementation of the border tax and reacted to weak traffic reported by other retailers. We do believe that the Holiday season was challenging but we see expectations for DLTR as achievable (details below). We expect a conservative outlook but believe investors will accept this as long as the core Dollar Tree business is generating positive comps and Family Dollar remains on an improving trajectory, thereby preserving the belief in better sales and margins down the road. We see 47%/22% upside/downside in our best/worst case scenarios." (2/27/2017)
• 3. UBS AG analysts commented, "Against a difficult environment in 4Q, we think DLTR's core business performed well. We model a 1% overall comp (vs. the 1.8% cons.) as it continued to benefit from its merchandising activities. Plus, mgmt. noted the Q started off well with its 3Q release, putting it on a good trajectory. As far as FDO, our expectations are more muted. We lowered our comp estimate to 0% (from 2%), which is below the cons. While our sense is FDO stores have executed better, they're still feeling the burden of supply chain pressures. This was compounded by the drags from SNAP & deflation. Plus, bringing in a new exec to oversee the biz only adds to our sense of NT caution. That said, we remain convinced FDO is fixable. It might take a big longer to achieve its potential than originally thought. We think that will create a significant amount of shareholder value." (2/24/2017)
• 4. Deutsche Bank AG analysts commented, "DLTR has a strong management team led by CEO Bob Sasser with an impressive execution record, and until demonstrated otherwise, we think investors will assume steady improvement at Family Dollar ahead," analyst Paul Trussell wrote in a note.Trussell noted Family Dollar's "three straight quarters of positive comps and an impressive positive margin surprise in 1Q."The analyst expects an EBIT margin of 6.2 percent for Family Dollar in FY18, as there is potential for Dollar Tree "to exceed guidance for at least $300 million in synergies by the end of year three."Related Link: Deutsche Goes Shopping For Discount Retailer Stocks"We think DLTR can achieve consistent ~3 percent comps over the next few years, and see GPM upside through sourcing, improving DC costs, reducing shrink, and leveraging occupancy costs," (8/1/2016)
