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)
