Discount retailer Dollar Tree Inc (NASDAQ:DLTR) could highlight changing consumer spending habits and the impact of tariffs on consumers when the company reports first-quarter financial results before market open Wednesday.

Here are the analyst estimates, what they’re saying ahead of the report and key items to watch.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Dollar Tree to report first-quarter sales of $4.54 billion, down from $7.63 billion in last year’s first quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company has beaten analyst estimates for sales in two straight quarters and seven of the last 10 quarters overall. Lower sales figures are due to the exclusion of the Family Dollar business, which is being sold off.

Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $1.20 in the first quarter, down from $1.43 in the same period last year.

The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in two straight quarters and six of the last 10 quarters overall.

Guidance from the company calls for first-quarter adjusted EPS to be in a range of $1.10 to $1.25.

What Analysts Are Saying: Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane gave Dollar Tree a Buy rating and $86 price target ahead of the earnings report after positive commentary from management on the impact of tariffs.

McShane said Dollar Tree management said tariffs typically take three to four months, or more than a quarter, to impact inventory, which could provide a buffer before tariffs impact financial results.

She added that Dollar Tree’s pricing and cost strategies could help offset tariff impact and maintain the company’s value offerings.

McShane said Dollar Tree showed strength in the fourth quarter and that could continue into the first quarter results. She said the company’s sale of Family Dollar could improve free cash flow.

Citi Research analyst Paul Lejuez upgraded Dollar Tree stock ahead of the earnings report, raising it from a Neutral rating to a Buy rating and a $103 price target.

The analyst said Dollar Tree could be one of the “silent beneficiaries’ of the tariff trade.

Lejuez said higher tariffs could enable Dollar Tree to raise its prices from its $1.25 standard price to $1.50 or even $1.75, which would boost margins. While it would help offset some higher costs, he said, it would allow the company to raise prices without as much blowback as doing this in a non-tariff impacted time.

Here are other recent analyst ratings on Dollar Tree and their price targets:

• Wells Fargo: Maintained Overweight rating, raised price target from $90 to $105
• Truist: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $89 to $100
• UBS: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $95 to $108
• Telsey: Maintained Market Perform rating, raised price target from $82 to $95

Key Items to Watch: Dollar Tree’s financial results come a day after rival Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) reported quarterly results and guidance.

Dollar General beat analyst estimates for sales and earnings per share and saw strength in same-store sales during the quarter.

Perhaps more importantly, Dollar General’s guidance was higher than before, with the company cautious on tariffs but showing updated expectations after the first-quarter outperformance. The company raised its full-year sales growth range from 3.4% to 4.4% to a new range of 3.7% to 4.7%. The company also raised its full-year earnings per share range from $5.10 to $5.80 to a new range of $5.20 to $5.80.

A strong quarter for Dollar General could be good news for Dollar Tree, assuming it did not lose market share and that discount retailers took share from big-box retailers.

A Placer.ai report showed Dollar General’s visitor growth of 1.9% in the first quarter, compared to Dollar Tree’s +4.8 %.

Dollar Tree’s growth in each of the first three quarters of the year outperformed Dollar General for visitor growth in the Placer.ai report.

For the month of April, the report showed Dollar General visitors up 6.5% year-over-year, compared to Dollar Tree, which saw a 21.2% increase, a number that could factor into Dollar Tree’s guidance.

Another key item to watch is Dollar Tree’s sale of the Family Dollar business for $1 billion and how it will impact the company’s future financials.

“In the fourth quarter, our team was focused on successfully closing out the year, bringing the strategic review to a favorable conclusion, and setting Dollar Tree on a path to realize its full potential to create long-term value for our associates, customers, and shareholders,” said CEO Mike Creedon.

The company provided updated full-year guidance based on the sale of Dollar Tree with sales estimates set at a range of $18.5 billion and $19.1 billion and earnings per share of $5.00 to $5.50.

Analysts and investors will be closely watching to see if guidance has changed going forward.

Tariffs will be another key topic that analysts and investors are watching as Dollar Tree was one of the first retailers to speak out about potential higher prices for consumers as a result.

The company also said at the time that it could change product specs and pack sizes and stop selling unprofitable items to offset tariffs.

Dollar General’s earnings report showed strength and a potential lower than expected impact from tariffs. Dollar Tree may highlight how it is getting around tariffs and commentary that could impress investors and analysts.

DLTR Price Action: Dollar Tree stock is up 3.5% to $94.41 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $60.49 to $121.96. Dollar Tree stock is up 23.4% year-to-date in 2025, while shares are down 22% over the last year.

For comparison, Dollar General stock was up 12.5% to $109.35 on Tuesday, following the company’s financial results. Dollar General stock is up 44.6% year-to-date in 2025, but shares are down 22% over the last year.

Applied Digital Corp (NASDAQ:APLD) shares are trading higher again on Tuesday on what appears to be continued momentum following the company’s deal with CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:CRWV). Multiple analysts lifted price targets on the stock following the announcement.

What Happened: Applied Digital signed two approximately 15-year lease agreements with AI hyperscaler CoreWeave on Monday to provide 250 megawatts (MW) of critical IT load at its data center site in North Dakota.

CoreWeave holds an option to expand capacity by an additional 150 MW, bringing the total potential load to 400 MW. Applied Digital said it expects to generate approximately $7 billion in revenue over the contract period.

Applied Digital expects the first 100 MW data center to be ready for service in the fourth quarter of 2025. The second 150 MW data center facility is currently under construction and is expected to be ready for service in mid-2026. A third optional 150 MW data center is in the planning stages and would be ready for service in 2027. Applied Digital noted that it could expand the campus to up to one gigawatt of total power capacity to support additional infrastructure development.

“We believe these leases solidify Applied Digital’s position as an emerging provider of infrastructure critical to the next generation of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing,” said Wes Cummins, chairman and CEO of Applied Digital.

Applied Digital shares closed Monday up 48.5% at $10.14, according to Benzinga Pro. The stock is continuing to move higher on Tuesday. Needham maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $10 to $12, and HC Wainwright & Co. maintained a Buy and lifted its price target from $7 to $12.

It’s also worth noting that Applied Digital filed a mixed securities shelf registration and secondary offering related to the resale from time to time of up to 39.7 million shares by selling stockholders following the strong surge in shares.

APLD Price Action: Applied Digital shares were up 8.29% Tuesday, trading at $10.97 at the time of publication. Applied Digital has a 52-week high of $12.48 and a 52-week low of $3.01, according to Benzinga Pro.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the “Greed” zone on Monday.

U.S. stocks settled higher on Monday, with the Nasdaq Composite gaining more than 100 points during the session.

Wall Street closed on a positive note last month, with the S&P 500 gaining more than 6.2% in May and the Nasdaq jumping 9.6%. Both indices recorded their strongest months since November 2023. The Dow surged 3.9% for the month.

President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that tariffs on steel and aluminum imports will be doubled to 50% starting June 4, reigniting trade tensions with China. Beijing responded by accusing Washington of seriously violating trade agreements and pledged to take strong measures to defend its interests. The renewed dispute ignited a rally in precious and industrial metals.

Campbell’s Co. (NASDAQ:CPB) posted better-than-expected third-quarter results. Lyra Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:LYRA) shares jumped over 310% on Monday after the company announced its ENLIGHTEN 2 Phase 3 trial of LYR-210 met its primary endpoint.

On the economic data front, the ISM manufacturing PMI declined to 48.5 in May compared to 48.7 in April, also missing market estimates of 49.5. U.S. construction spending declined by 0.4% month-over-month to an annual rate of $2,152.4 billion in April following a revised 0.8% fall in March.

Most sectors on the S&P 500 closed on a positive note, with energy, communication services and information technology stocks recording the biggest gains on Monday. However, industrial stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.

The Dow Jones closed higher by around 35 points to 42,305.48 on Monday. The S&P 500 gained 0.41% to 5,935.94, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.67% at 19,242.61 during Monday’s session.

Investors are awaiting earnings results from Dollar General Corp. (NYSE:DG), Signet Jewelers Ltd. (NYSE:SIG) and Ferguson Enterprises Inc. (NYSE:FERG) today.

What is CNN Business Fear & Greed Index?

At a current reading of 62.3, the index remained in the “Greed” zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 61.6.

The Fear & Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Shanghai-based NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO) will likely provide a glimpse at the electric vehicle sector and new car brands when it releases its first-quarter financial results on Tuesday before the market opens.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect first-quarter revenue of $1.73 billion—up from $1.37 billion in last year’s first quarter.

According to Benzinga Pro, NIO missed analyst estimates for revenue in four straight quarters and six of the last seven quarters overall,

Analysts also anticipate a loss of 37 cents per share, compared to a loss of 33 cents per share in last year’s first quarter, as reported by GuruFocus. The company has beaten analyst earnings per share in four of the last six quarters overall.

Guidance from the company calls for revenue to be in a range of $1.694 billion to $1.762 billion.

Key Items to Watch: NIO delivered 89,225 vehicles year-to-date, a figure that is up 34.7% from last year.

For May, the EV company reported:

• I23,231 vehicles delivered, up 13.1% year-over-year.
• 13,270 Nio brand deliveries,
• 6,281 ONVO deliveries
• 3,680 FIREFLY deliveries.

In April, the company reported 23,900 deliveries, which is up 53% compared to last year. ONVO deliveries were 4,400, and FIREFLY had begun the initial deliveries.

ONVO and FIREFLY, the company’s family-oriented and smaller high-end vehicles, respectively, are contributing to its strong delivery growth.

These new brands allow Nio to target more consumers and come after the company led the way as the top electric vehicle company in China for vehicles priced over RMB300,000.

ONVO brand, targeting the mainstream mass market, will concentrate on increasing its sales volume and enriching its product portfolio. Firefly’s model will be officially launched and begin deliveries in April, serving as a key driver for our future international expansion,” Nio CEO William Bin Li said after fourth-quarter results.

With deliveries already reported for April and May, investors and analysts will likely focus on the company’s guidance for the rest of the fiscal year and any commentary on tariffs.

Chinese stocks like Nio have been highly volatile due to tariffs placed on imports into the U.S. A recent pause to higher tariffs on Chinese imports has helped boost Chinese stocks temporarily.

NIO Price Action: Nio stock was down 0.71% to $3.52 at last check on Monday, compared to a 52-week trading range of $3.02 to $7.71. It is down 23.2% year-to-date in 2025.

When discount retailer Dollar General (NYSE:DG) reports its first-quarter financial results Tuesday before the market opens, it could provide a look at consumer spending trends and overall tariff impacts.

Here are the analyst estimates for the quarter, analyst commentary ahead of the report and key items to watch.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Dollar General to report first-quarter revenue of $10.31 billion. That’s up from $9.91 billion in last year’s first quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company has beaten analyst revenue estimates for two straight quarters and in five of the last six quarters.

Analysts expect Dollar General to report first-quarter earnings per share of $1.48, down from $1.65 in last year’s first quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in only four of the last 10 quarters overall.

What Analysts Are Saying: Bank of America Securities analyst Robert F. Ohmes said in a recent note that Dollar General could report a surprising acceleration in the quarter.

The analyst reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $100 to $115.

Ohmes expects Dollar General to report comp sales up 1% year over year, with a real-time data acceleration.

Items like store remodel costs, higher labor costs, and store closure costs could affect the quarter’s earnings per share results.

According to Ohmes, digital expansion, a DoorDash Inc partnership and first-party offerings could support sales momentum in the quarter.

Here are other recent analyst ratings on Dollar General and their price targets:

• UBS: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $90 to $125
• Telsey: Maintained Market Perform rating, raised price target from $85 to $100
• Goldman Sachs: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $85 to $96
• Morgan Stanley: Maintained Equal Weight rating, raised price target from $80 to $85

Key Items to Watch: Like many other recent quarterly reports from retailers, investors and analysts will be looking for commentary on tariffs. Whether there is an impact on financial results remains to be seen.

Dollar General will likely highlight what it’s doing to help offset the impact of tariffs and maintain current prices.

Dollar General saw same-store sales up 1.2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, helped by an increase in the average transaction amount.

A Placer.ai report showed that Dollar General saw visits up 1.9% year-over-year. This included a 6.6% increase in January and 1.0% increase in March with a -1.5% drop in visits in February. The monthly data was lower than Dollar Tree visits, which could be an item to watch for potential market share loss.

Guidance will also be key with some retailers pulling guidance due to tariffs and macroeconomic concerns. The Placer.ai report showed Dollar General April visits up 6.5% year-over-year.

Dollar General’s quarterly results will come one day before rival Dollar Tree Inc (NASDAQ:DLTR) reports its own results. Investors will have two reports from discount retailers to help gauge the impact of tariffs.

Dollar Tree — known for items priced $1, or $1.25 now thanks to recent inflation — warned consumers about higher prices due to tariffs.

Other retailers, like Walmart, have alerted customers of rising prices, drawing the ire of President Donald Trump.

DG Price Action: Dollar General stock is down 0.09% to $97.16 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $66.43 to $141.24. Dollar General stock is up 29.6% year-to-date in 2025.

U.S. stock futures fell on Monday after a mixed close on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading lower in premarket.

After the Federal appeals court temporarily reinstated Donald Trump‘s tariffs, he accused China of violating an agreement with the U.S. to ease tariffs in his Truth Social post.

However, Trump did not specify the details of this violation. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday clarified that China was withholding critical minerals it agreed to release in a trade deal the country signed with U.S. negotiators last month in Geneva.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.44% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 98.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:

According to Bob Elliott, the CIO of Unlimited Funds, there was a “consensus” among the market participants that TACO trade or Trump Always Chickens Out’ trade is priced in, meaning investors anticipate Trump’s tariff retreats, especially now that he is embroiled in the legal battle over the validation of his levied tariffs.

He implied that TACO could pave the way for a “Run It Hot” economic environment, characterized by growth-oriented policies and sustained stimulus, further fueling market optimism.

Elliott’s post signaled a widespread belief that Trump’s possible tariff rollbacks or extensions are not only predictable but also conducive to a pro-growth economic stance.

TACO and Run It Hot are consensus at this point.

— Bob Elliott (@BobEUnlimited) June 1, 2025

Meanwhile, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, Tom Lee, stated that a “new bull market” has emerged following the spike in the volatility gauge in April. –

“I think we had what was a miniature bear market, but has essentially rebirthed the new bull market,” he told CNBC as he expects “pretty shallow” dips from here, advising investors to consider small-cap stocks other than the Magnificent 7

“As I look at the second half, I think the small caps really have a strong case to be made, because as long as we move towards a tariff resolution, or the markets feel that way, then I think investors can actually start putting flows back into stocks other than the Mag Seven,” Lee said.
