Dollar Tree reported second-quarter results that beat Wall Street's revenue expectations, with sales up 7% year over year to $4.89 billion, while GAAP earnings of $2.70 per share significantly exceeded analyst consensus. The company's operating margin expanded to 14.1% from 4.9% a year ago, driven by better sourcing, supply chain efficiencies, and disciplined expense management, even as same-store sales growth slowed to 3.7% from 6.5% in the prior-year quarter. Management reaffirmed full-year revenue guidance of $20.6 billion at the midpoint, but guided third-quarter EPS to $0.88, missing estimates by 36.2% due to higher labor and remodeling costs. CEO Michael Creedon noted that customer visits continued to rise, though at a moderated pace, while the company accelerates its multi-price point strategy and supply chain automation to offset inflationary pressures.
