- Thursday, April 25, 12:59 PM Grocery store stocks suffer after Safeway's Q1 report indicates a weakening sales and volume trend into the end of the quarter. The lackluster quarter adds weight to the opinion that the dollar store group (DG, DLTR, FDO) and Wal-Mart are taking more grocery market share. Decliners: SWY -16.8%, WFM -1.0%, TFM -1%, SVY -2.5%, NGVC -2.0%, KR -2.0%, WMK -1.3%, HTSI -1.4%, FWM -1.3%. 7 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 10, 11:04 AM Heard during Family Dollar's (FDO -0.4%) earnings call: 1) The retailer leans on the typical excuses of higher gas prices and payroll tax hikes in explaining somewhat lean consumer spending trends. Sales of consumables and food were better than the home and apparel categories. 2) Execs note inventories are "clean" as the company heads into the spring and summer selling season. 3) A long-term goal of 5%-7% growth in square footage is set as Family Dollar remains on track to open 500 new stores in FY13. 4) The biggest takeaway could be that FDO expects consumers to remain constrained with discretionary spending this year. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 10, 8:08 AM Shares of Family Dollar Stores (FDO) fall 4.8% premarket after the retailer misses estimates and cuts guidance. Analyst Rahul Sharma finds the company's 17% increase in inventory compared to a 3% gain in comparable sales alarming. Peers: DG -1.2%, DLTR -1.3%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 3, 10:55 AM The dollar store group (DLTR, DG, FDO) outperforms broad market averages after Dollar Tree lands an upgrade to Outperform from Morgan Stanley. A survey by the investment firm showed the payroll tax hike isn't impacting consumer shopping decisions. What to watch: Dollar stores aren't seeing the same pressure as Wal-Mart as in-store pricing and promotions have helped to protect margins, but will the retailing giant's move to a smaller-store format turn the tables? Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 20, 10:57 AM A number of discounter stocks are catching a tailwind today as investors seem to be shifting their attitudes toward the outlook for discretionary spending or shifting from topped-out sectors. Advancers include the dollar store group - Family Dollar Stores (FDO +2.9%), Dollar General (DG +2.5%), and Dollar Tree (DLTR +2.9%) - while Five Below (FIVE +1.3%) and Fred's (FRED +2%) are also outperforming. Even retail giants Target (TGT +1.5%) and Wal-Mart (WMT +0.7%) aren't getting left behind. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 27, 9:50 AM Dollar General (DG +4.5%) and Family Dollar (FDO +3.4%) move higher after peer Dollar Tree (DLTR +8.9%) posts a better-than-expected quarterly profit. Expectations for the discounter group were set lower when Wal-Mart warned on February sales, but stability from Dollar Tree appears to be tipping sentiment back in the other direction. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, February 15, 2:55 PM Discounters are falling harder than other retail stocks after Wal-Mart's leaked internal warning on February sales creates a large ripple effect. The verdict was out on how hard higher payroll taxes would hit the sector, but if Wal-Mart's hurting then Family Dollar Stores (FDO -1.1%), Dollar General (DG -1%), Five Below (FIVE -1.3%), and Dollar Tree (DLTR +2.9%) may also have issues with consumers tightening beyond just mid- to higher-end items..

Losers: MLNX -18%. ALLT -10%. FDO -10%. KERX -6%. BIIB -6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, January 3, 8:32 AM Shares of Family Dollar (FDO) fall 8.5% premarket after the retailer puts in a dismal quarter and slides its estimates for FQ2 lower. An emphasis by the company on lower margin items such as cigarettes and soft drinks put a serious crimp on its ability to turn a profit. Peers premarket: DG -3.8%, DLTR -2.9%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 3, 7:24 AM More on Family Dollar's (FDO) FQ1: The retailer cites increased gross margin pressure and higher insurance expenses as negative factors on earnings during the quarter which offset a brisk 6.6% gain in comparable store sales. Execs noted the holiday season was "more challenging" than expected. SG&E expenses as a percentage of sales fell 30 bps to 28.9%. The company sees FQ2 EPS of $1.18-$1.28 vs. consensus of $1.39. Shares -4.9% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 1:51 PM Discounters take a beating with chatter picking up steam tipping off that companies in the sector are talking down holiday sales at an industry event and hedge funds are beginning to increase the pace they trim holdings of sector names. Dollar General (DG -3.9%) leads the charge lower, with Family Dollar (FDO -3.1%) and Dollar Tree (DLTR -1%) also showing weakness. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 11, 2012, 12:14 PM A downwardly revised forecast from Dollar Tree for earnings spills over to taint other discounting names as the sector starts to get a harder look from investors. Decliners: FDO -2.0%, DG -2.4%, FIVE -1.1%. (DLTR webcast) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, October 5, 2012, 12:39 PM Dollar Tree (DLTR +3.4%) rallies after receiving an upgrade to Outperform from Credit Suisse. Rival Family Dollar (FDO +0.4%) has also been upgraded by CS, but isn't quite as fortunate. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- 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]
- 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]
