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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Dollar Tree raised its fiscal 2017 view after posting strong numbers for the second quarter. Further, Dollar Tree has been gaining from its integration of Family Dollar, which is contributing significantly to the company’s results. This has helped the stock to surpass the industry year to date. It also helped Dollar Tree to achieve comps growth for the 38th straight time in the second quarter, wherein both the top and bottom line grew year over year and topped the Zacks Consensus mark. Apart from solid performance at stores, growth of the company’s online business – Dollar Tree Direct also fueled results. Moreover, reduced merchandise and freight costs, as well as lower markdowns boosted margins. Based on these results and expected benefits from Family Dollar, management remains confident of the second half. However, volatile consumer behavior remains a concern for Dollar Tree. Also, significant global exposure may pose threats." (8/29/2017)
• 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)
