My misguided expectation was offset by the company's success in solving a problem that came to a head late in 2022.
Dollar General's (NYSE: DG) stock price dipped 3% on March 16 after it posted its latest earnings report. For the full year Dollar General's net sales rose 10.6% to $37.8 billion, its same-store sales improved 4.3%, and its diluted EPS grew 5% to $10.68. All three of those growth rates accelerated from fiscal 2021, when it faced tough comparisons to its pandemic-induced growth spurt in fiscal 2020.
Dollar General CEO said, "Customers and income brackets above our core customers [are] shopping with us at an increasing rate."
