BUY
More economically sensitive, so when the economy's doing well people spend a bit more money.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Doesn't own because prefers others. It has been a good stock. A big percentage of the population shops there. Buy but be price conscious when buying.
COMMENT
She owns Dollar Tree instead, because it has multiple price points of products in its store. DOL dominates Canada and has introduced those price points, but has backed off on $5. Inflationary and shipping pressures may impact them, but are handling them well, like packaging items smaller to keep their prices low. She prefers Dollar Tree.
WAIT
A great company. Owned it in the past. Sold it with the notion that the windfall from last year was not going to return. It was deemed an essential retailer when everything was closed. Same store sales comparisons are struggling due to last year. Has checked back a little. A slow and steady grower in retail. It is a good thing but it incurs opportunity cost for other, cheaper cyclical players. Will revisit later in the cycle.
BUY
Dollar Tree and DOL outlooks These stores did well during the lockdown. Soft share prices lately are due to return-to-work. DT is a little cheaper at 14x PE with a recent earnings beat and recently had an earnings beat. But DT has weak price momentum. DOL has outperformed, offers a good PE and had a good earnings beat. DOL has better price momentum. DOL isn't cheap at 30x PE, but it's okay; low volatility. Both stocks are similar overall.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 11/20, Up 13%) He sold. Still likes the company, but he had better ideas in the near-term. Windfall last year, as it was an essential retailer. This year, comparisons will lag and some aisles are off-limits as non-essential.
TOP PICK
Held in very well during the pandemic. Also a very strong re-opening play. Guiding opening for 50-60 stores. Made a big acquisition in South America. Earnings up 23% YoY. Expects earnings to grow by 21% 2021-2023. Trading at 20x 2023. A name that works on price to growth, even in inflation. M&A and SA growth is positive. (Analysts’ price target is $62.00)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
They reported earnings in March, good numbers, and shares moved up, but since then shares have pulled back. Puzzling. Investors are looking for reopening stocks like hotels and cinemas. DOL is a steady eddy in earnings and revenues growth, and continues to do well. It's on his radar and he'd buy on a pullback.
PARTIAL BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Dollarama sells cheap stuff and has enjoyed a near-monopoly on selling household goods during these lockdowns. No argument that DOL has done very well. It peaked December 9 at $54.58 November 1, just shy of its all-time high. DOL stock has since peeled back 10%. It continues to enjoy a strong brand in Canada and the ubiquity of its locations. Its last quarter in December reported sales up 14% and earnings 23%, blowing past street expectations. DOL stock is expected to grow 15% this year. Given the winter lockdown, it’s safe to say that DOL stock will report another strong quarter or two. In fact, DOL has beaten three of its last four quarters. Read
Consumer Products
PARTIAL SELL
Good name in the TSX. One of the better growth names. 15% growth rate going forward. 24x forward PE. He's not into consumer staples at this point, favours cyclicals.
TOP PICK

They're making money with a 3.8% free cash flow yield or $610 million FCF. In their December quarterly report, sales were up 14% and earnings 23% (15% above the street's expectations). Earnings are expected to grow 15% in 2021 + 17% in 2022. High ROE of 11%. (Analysts’ price target is $59.93)
