Dollar General Corp. (NYSE: DG) stock is holding on to gains of about 6% after the discount retailer reported earnings on March 13, 2025. The company scored a slight beat on revenue, with its $10.30 billion in revenue nudging above the $10.26 billion projected by analysts.
That revenue number reflected a 1.4% year-over-year (YOY) increase in same-store sales, which was attributed to a 1.1% increase in customer traffic and a 0.3% increase in average transaction amount. However, the positive revenue numbers were tempered by a 42% miss on the bottom line. The company’s 95 cents of earnings per share (EPS) were far below the $1.51 EPS forecast by analysts.
