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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Dollar Tree has outperformed the industry in the last one month. The company has been doing well on the back of its long-term strategies and growth initiatives like store expansion and productivity enhancement, tapping of new markets and adding innovative sales channels to serve its patrons better. Also, the company's idea of increasing consumables mix, rolling out freezers/coolers at stores, along with multi-price point expansion bode well. The company is also on track with Family Dollar's integration, which is expected to generate synergies in the long run. Estimates have been stable ahead of second quarter earnings. However, sales in the company's last reported quarter were somewhat dented by delayed tax refunds and SNAP benefit reductions. Well, Trump’s suggestion of reducing food stamps, and lower SNAP benefits could also hurt future performance. Additionally, management's lowered fiscal 2017 view raises concerns." (8/8/2017)
• 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)
