Dollar General reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.83 and revenue of $9.86 billion, surpassing analyst estimates. Despite this beat, the company issued a soft outlook for fiscal year 2026, forecasting flat to 1% comparable sales growth and adjusted EPS between $6.30 and $6.80, which is below market expectations. The improved Q4 performance was attributed to a higher average ticket and increased customer traffic.
