- Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 7:13 AM More on Family Dollar Stores (FDO): Saw both customer traffic and average customer transaction value increase during the quarter. Increased sales of lower-margin consumables and improved inventory shrinkage was offset in part by higher markups, lower markdowns and lower freight expense. SG&A expenses flat, with lower store labor costs offset by higher marketing expenses. Expects FY13 EPS of $4.10-$4.40. For FQ1, sees comparable store sales growth of 4%-6% and EPS to fall in a range of $0.69-$0.78. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings]
- Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 7:06 AM Family Dollar Stores (FDO): FQ4 EPS of $0.75 in-line. Revenue of $2.36B (+10% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]

- Monday, October 1, 2012, 8:48 AM Discounting retailers are on watch after Gordman Stores (GMAN) guides its sales forecast for H2 lower. Caution has been the overriding theme in the sector with the space seemingly crowded with bulk stores, closeout stores, deal sites, and even supermarket chains fighting for every square inch of market share with promotions on top of promotions. FRED, FDO, FIVE, DLTR, DG, {{BIG]]. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, September 14, 2012, 12:29 PM More on Retail Sales: Discount stores continued to show a disturbing trend in August with the sub-sector showing negative Y/Y growth as it decelerated even further since the beginning of the year, according to data dug out by (RetailGeeks). Some analysts are pointing to the dual threat of an over-saturated market and mobile shopping as pesky threats to DG, FDO, DLTR, and FIVE. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, September 10, 2012, 7:59 AM Jefferies maintains its Hold rating on Family Dollar Stores (FDO) as it clips its forecast for the firm's comparable-store sales down to 4%-5%. The analyst take falls in line with a general theme on discount retailers that says valuation is stretched as consumers trade up from the sector a bit more than expected. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 9:52 AM Family Dollar Stores (FDO) declares $0.21/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.32%. For shareholders of record Sep 14. Payable Oct 15. Ex-div date Sep 12. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Friday, August 31, 2012, 10:32 AM Is the low-price retail space getting a bit too crowded with consumers starting to broaden out their spending? Shares of Gordmans Stores (GMAN -19.4%) are getting crushed after the retailer guided estimates for Q3 revenue and EPS to below the consensus mark of analysts, while yesterday it was Fred's (FRED) that was the value-oriented name that disappointed with its August sales report. On watch: Dollar General (DG), Family Dollar Stores (FDO), Five Below (FIVE), Dollar Tree (DLTR). Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 4:59 PM Bill Ackman's Pershing Square owned 90.3M shares of Procter & Gamble (PG) at the end of Q2 - that translates into a 3.3% stake in the consumer goods giant, which Ackman has made an activist target of. Perhaps to make room for its P&G investment, Pershing dissolved its stakes in Kraft (KFT), Family Dollar (FDO), Burger King (BKC), and Fortune Brands (FBHS), and lowered its stake in Citigroup (C) (13-F) 3 Comments [Consumer, Financials]
- Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 3:22 PM Family Dollar (FDO -2.1%) trades lower after hosting an investor meeting this afternoon. Highlights: A forecast of 5%-7% annual sales growth. Growth remains a focus, with 27 stores opened YTD in California. Says its digital business is only a "small piece" of the overall pie at the moment. (presentation slides) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 1:30 PM Forecasts for June retail sales tip off that sales growth for the sector could come in at the lowest level since August 2009, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters. After Nike (NKE) and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) set the tone with disheartening guidance, the whole sector is on on watch to determine the effects on revenue of a jittery U.S. consumer. Even if a company's numbers are solid, the question of how management is using discounting and promotions to pump up sales will remain in focus. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, July 2, 2012, 11:10 AM Family Dollar (FDO +2.2%) trades higher as Johnson Rice upgrades shares to Overweight from Underweight. The discounter trade is back on in light of a fresh wave of discouraging economic data, with Dollar General (DG +0.7%), Big Lots (BIG +0.9%), Fred's (FRED +0.9%), and TJX (TJX +0.4%) all poking out gains. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, June 28, 2012, 1:49 PM The narrow miss by Family Dollar (FDO -3.4%) with its FQ3 report isn't scaring off a bevy of bulls who see a lot of opportunity in the the hopper. The company's shelves will soon be stocked with high-margin private brands, tobacco products, and Pepsi - while it continues to try to steal market share from superstores. Also, a deal with Coinstar to place Redbox kiosks in Dollar General stores is seen as a revenue driver. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]

Losers: ANTH -63%. SNTA -25%. VRTX -13%. BCS -12%. RBS -11%. FDO -7%. DB -5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, June 28, 2012, 8:00 AM Shares of Family Dollar (FDO) fall 6.6% premarket after the company misses earnings estimates by a penny in FQ3 and reports in-line revenue. The company only hit the low end of its ambitious same-store sale guidance, but the 5% growth mark is one many retailers would take in a heartbeat. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]

Family Dollar (FDO) is a longterm winner. Dividend of 4.71% looks nice. http://bit.ly/GPeRDu - View all 0 replies
