DG Trading Setup: Capitalizing on RangeDollar General has experienced a stabilization phase following its Q1 2025 results, with same-store sales increasing 2.4% and revenue growing 5.3% to $10.4 billion. The company has regained traction in the discount retail space, mitigating previous challenges related to shrink and operational inefficiencies. Institutional Flow & Market Positioning Recent institutional flow highlights large orders in DG’s 115 call and 110 put, signaling either: - A range-bound setup, where smart money expects the stock to stay between $110-$115 in the near term. - Potential volatility, with institutions hedging both directions ahead of an unexpected move. Considering the ATR (18) and standard deviation (7.353), this aligns with a low-breakout probability, making range-based strategies the optimal play. The absence of earnings between now and July further supports sideways movement expectations. Options Trade Setup: Iron Condor To capitalize on premium decay and IV contraction, I’m structuring an iron condor: - Sell 115 Call / Buy 120 Call - Sell 110 Put / Buy 105 Put This strategy ensures limited risk while collecting premium in a high-probability range trade.

DG Developing Impulse [LONG]1. The Big Picture: Wave Structure Down-trend Completion A five-wave decline (labelled “5” at the bottom, ≈ $69.56) finishes in early March 2025. Complex Correction (W-X-Y) From December 2024 into March 2025 the market chops out a W-X-Y sideways correction between roughly $70–83. New Uptrend (Impulse) Wave 1 up to $84.53 Wave 2 pullback into the 0.5–0.707 zone ($77.05 | 75.28 | 73.95) Wave 3 powerful thrust into the high-90s Wave 4 shallow retrace into the mid-$80s Wave 5 of 3 (current leg) pushing into the low-$100s 2. Current Position: Subwave 5 of Wave 3 Price now: $101.39 We appear to be in the 5th subwave of the larger Wave 3. That means one more small thrust higher is likely before Wave 3 completes. 3. Target Zone for Wave 3 The 1.618 × Wave 1→3 extension sits at 104.18. The grey box (~$103–$106) marks our Wave 3 target. Traders often look to take partial profits as price enters this zone. 4. Key Support / Invalidation Levels Short-term bump: 23.6% of Wave 4→5, at ≈ $100.00 Primary support: old Wave 4 high / 38.2% retracement, at ≈ $97.50 Invalidation: a clear break below $97.50 would argue that the Wave 5 advance is failing (and could reopen a deeper correction). 5. What Happens After Wave 3? Once Wave 3 tops out (~104–106), expect a Wave 4 correction of that entire impulse. Typical Wave 4 depth is 38.2% of Wave 3: that would put a pullback into roughly $90–92. After Wave 4 completes, a final Wave 5 higher would target new all-time highs. 6. Trading Plan Ideas Long exposure: add on small dips down to $100–$100.50, keep stops under $97.50. Partial profit: begin scaling out as price enters $103–$106. Watch for reversal signals (e.g. bearish divergence, high-volume down days) once inside the grey box—this will mark the end of the impulsive Wave 3. Bottom line: DG is in the late stages of a textbook Elliott-Wave 3, with one last run higher into the $104–$106 zone likely, then a healthy multi-week pullback (Wave 4) should follow. Keep your stops under $97.50 and look to lock in profits as you approach that extension target.

Bullish Spike on DG: Consumer Staples playI think that people might hate this pick... but I love "hated" tickers. NYSE:DG came up on my 30m Spike scan this morning amid a sea of red and tanking "risk on" stocks. This indicates some interesting opening price action this morning as a "hey, come look at me!" This action is happening in the context of a clear rotation into "safe" stocks like Consumer Staples and Utilities; DG is renowned for being a Consumer Staple. The logic is that people will still need to buy basic good, no matter what, and Dollar General's brand is to sell these at low costs to Consumers. Dollar General experienced a meteoric rise (and fall) due to what analysts attribute as a rapid OVER-expansion. Anecdotally, I recall a newly built location in rural Georgia that I pass by frequently on trips to see family that opened, closed, and in just recent weeks was renovated and re-opened. Either way, I like a stock that everyone thinks is dead that more importantly has come to a decadal low, matching with Volume Profile support, that was also the technical Support that launched the prior rally. Furthermore, on the Daily there is a clear path for a good Ichimoku Breakout that taking the stock now lets one get the jump on. A full Daily breakout would reverse the bear trend since last April.

Dollar General ($DG) Plunges 29% on Economic Pressures Dollar General shares (NYSE: NYSE:DG ) took a dramatic 29% nosedive on Thursday, following a dismal earnings report that highlighted both external challenges and internal missteps. The discount retailer, which serves primarily rural and low-income communities, slashed its full-year sales and profit forecasts, underscoring the struggles of its core customer base in a tightening economic environment. But the challenges facing Dollar General are not solely external; a series of internal issues has also contributed to the retailer’s steep decline. Earnings Miss: A Dual Struggle with Customer Hardship and Operational Challenges Dollar General’s latest earnings report showed a disappointing performance, missing Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines. For the second fiscal quarter, the company reported earnings per share of $1.70, falling short of the $1.79 anticipated by analysts. Revenue came in at $10.21 billion, also missing expectations of $10.37 billion. The company’s net income dropped to $374 million, or $1.70 per share, down from $469 million, or $2.13 per share, a year earlier, despite a 4.2% increase in sales year-over-year. CEO Todd Vasos acknowledged the impact of economic conditions on Dollar General's core customers, stating, “While we believe the softer sales trends are partially attributable to a core customer who feels financially constrained, we know the importance of controlling what we can control.” Yet, he admitted that the company must do more to improve its stores and manage its inventory better. Guidance Slashed: A Bleak Forecast for Fiscal 2024 The retailer’s outlook for fiscal 2024 reflects a cautious approach to the uncertain economic landscape. Dollar General now expects same-store sales to increase between just 1.0% and 1.6%, down from its previous estimate of 2% to 2.7%. The company also slashed its earnings per share forecast to a range of $5.50 to $6.20, from a prior range of $6.80 to $7.55. These cuts signal the company’s concerns over continued weakness in consumer spending and its ability to navigate the competitive pressures. The retailer's challenges are compounded by stiff competition from giants like Walmart and Target, which have been aggressively cutting prices and winning over budget-conscious shoppers. Even online platforms like Temu, run by China’s PDD Holdings, are offering low-cost alternatives to the non-essential items that have traditionally driven sales at Dollar General. Operational Shortcomings and Market Share Loss Beyond the macroeconomic pressures, Dollar General (NYSE: NYSE:DG ) is grappling with internal problems that have exacerbated its struggles. The company has acknowledged the need for better inventory management and store improvements to curb losses and boost customer experience. Analysts point to a lack of strategic agility in an increasingly competitive discount retail environment, where rivals like Dollar Tree, Walmart, and Target are capturing more of the price-sensitive market. Michael Montani, an analyst at Evercore ISI, highlighted the challenge Dollar General (NYSE: NYSE:DG ) faces in maintaining market share. "Dollar General's results show the challenge of maintaining market share with Walmart winning in a slower growth environment," Montani noted. Walmart and Target have recently raised their full-year profit forecasts, benefiting from price cuts that have attracted more customers. The Path Forward: Can Dollar General Turn It Around? While Dollar General’s situation appears grim, it’s not without hope. The company still managed to advance some of its operational goals and saw positive traffic growth, indicating that there is potential for recovery if the retailer can address its weaknesses. However, analysts remain cautious about the short-term outlook, especially given the current economic pressures on lower-income consumers and the intensifying competition. The retailer’s future depends heavily on its ability to execute a more refined strategy that includes better inventory management, store enhancements, and possibly more competitive pricing. Dollar General must find a way to regain its footing and convince both customers and investors that it can adapt to the shifting landscape. A Critical Moment for Dollar General Dollar General’s sharp decline reflects a broader story of economic strain and operational missteps. As its core customers feel the pinch of a challenging economy, and as competition heats up, the company finds itself at a critical crossroads. The path to recovery will not be easy, but with strategic adjustments and a focus on operational improvements, Dollar General (NYSE: NYSE:DG ) may yet find a way to bounce back in the fiercely competitive discount retail market. The coming months will be pivotal in determining whether the retailer can overcome its current challenges or if further difficulties lie ahead.

Dollar General | DG | Long at $90.00Dollar General NYSE:DG took a massive hit this morning after revising their future earnings guidance. The economy is showing many signs of a recession, and this is a clear warning. From a technical analysis perspective, it has retouched my "crash" simple moving average and may dip further into the $80's in the near-term. But, like many overall strong companies that suddenly plummet, I view this as a future opportunity given the strength of NYSE:DG as a business (holistically). Dollar General is the only grocery and home goods store around in many rural locations. So, while there is doom and gloom in the near-term, Dollar General is in a personal buy zone at $90.00. I view this as a starter position, though, with the potential for future declines/opportunities for additional share accumulation in the near-term. Target #1 = $100.00 Target #2 = $122.00 Target #3 = $200.00+ (very-long term outlook...)

Dollar General $DG - Cash Secured Put Trade IdeaOn Wed Nov 22 2023 I entered a cash secured put trade on NYSE:DG I did this for several reasons: Price closed above the 50MA on daily candles. Price broke out of the horizontal support. Price closed above a medium/long term diaginal support. Moving averages are crossing over and sloping upwards. Price is oversold as the stock has fallen by approximately -62% from its October 2022 high. The stock volatility was at 94% giving th edge to option sellers, yet we are still 15 days away from NYSE:DG earnings. Earnings are another example why I think the price of my put will expire OTM and I will get to keep this inflated premium. You see the bar for NYSE:DG earnings as set by the analysts is pretty low, with the estimates of EPS: $1.197 and Revenue: $9.648B, both I believe could be low targets for NYSE:DG based on their historic and last quarter results. There is also an unfilled bullish gap from a technical perspective above the current price at around the $138.44-$157.60 level. I sold a DEC 15 $115 PUT for a premium of $2.95 per contract. My thoughts are that the contracts will expire worthless and that I will be able to keep the premium. If the volatility drops from the current levels I will realize my profits faster. Depending on how much profit gets captured from the option I might exit early before earnings and lock in profits without increasing my risk due to the upcoming earnings, as we know during earnings its a coin toss and anything can happen. This is my first post idea on TradingView, hope this was helpful for the readers. If so, follow me for more ideas on stock and option trading. Enjoy the weekend and good luck next week!

DG Daily Levels Match Up Almost Perfectly with Fibonacci LevelsDG Replay of DG's Price Movement & Volume -13 October 2023 Dollar General (DG) gapped up and was up 9.16% on the day. DG's volume was nearly 3 x's the amount it was over the last 2.5 weeks. Daily Levels & Fibonacci Levels *The .38 retracement level on the daily is in confluence with the 116 daily level on the chart. The .50 fibonacci retracement level aligns with the 120 daily level. Also, the .618 (the reversal fib retracement level), is in confluence with the 124.85 daily level. I like when I see levels line up nearly perfectly with fib retracement levels 😃

Dollar General (DG) | Short-term OpportunityHi, A leading American discount retailer, Dollar General operates over 19,000 stores in 47 states, selling branded and private-label products across a wide variety of categories. In fiscal 2022, 80% of net sales came from consumables (including paper and cleaning products, packaged and perishable food, tobacco, and health and beauty items), 11% from seasonal merchandise (such as toys, greeting cards, decorations, and gardening supplies), 6% from home products (for example, kitchen supplies, small appliances, and cookware), and 3% from apparel. Stores average roughly 7,500 square feet, and about 75% of Dollar General locations are in towns of 20,000 or fewer people. The firm emphasizes value, with most of its items sold at everyday low prices of $5 or less. Technically speaking it has reached inside an interesting area. A few criteria matching with each other and probably it is worth to take a shot, from the shown box - $90 to $119, should be technically okay. Criteria are simple: 1. The long trendline 2. All-time Fibo level 62% 3. The round number, psychological number, $100 Target around $140 - $150 Good luck, Vaido

Dollar General has more downside and reversal zone identifiedThis idea is based on Wyckoff's method for determining price objectives using the Point & Figure count of the distribution ranges. We can see a complex distribution range existing of 2 different types of distribution patterns at the top. The yellow range is based on Wyckoff's distribution schematic 1 and the white range is showing a type 2 distribution schematic. If we take count the ranges separately, this yields a potential reversal zone between 108.50 and 89.50 dollar per share. All other information is on the chart. Good luck, NQDecipher

Dollar General/ DG GREAT BUY Surprisingly enough this company is stellar when you look at the financials. Its Cash Cycle is under 30 days with absolutely NO ACCOUNTS RECIEVABLE!!! its been growing its revenue around 10% each year, management has been buying back shares to increase shareholder equity, its dividends are squat :( , but they are gunning for Five and Below/ FIVE s market by opening POP Shelfs in the 'Burbs. If the POP Shelfs are able to take hold then I could see this company keeping par with its 10% revenue growth rate for the next 10 years. For the past decade the GPM has not dipped below 30%. the Return on Equity (for the value investors like myself) has been steadily growing with the last years being 25.5% with a 10 year average of 20%. And with COVID-19 still keeping people out of work and unemployment moderate to high I can see more households stretching the dollar which will grow this company's Revenue. As the families effected will be looking for the bargain stores to save their capital. The Company has ZERO short term debt, but they have no treasury shares. :( so, they have no equity out of the market and i think this particular reason is why i think its more of a "B+" investment rather than a A+ investment. If you're a conservative investor the D/E Ratio for the past year was .43, so that's not bad! with only 4% of their operating income going toward paying off interest on long term debt as compared to the moderate 15%. :) so when they buy their shares back its possible they might be retiring them. the Current Ratio has been a strong 1.5-1.7 for the past decade with a few exceptions, and their retained earnings pool has been steadily growing. Currently its trading under value with a fair market value of 196.xx with Ben Grahams formula putting it around 294.xx. I would love to see the price drop below 185.xx before buying so that way one can maximize their return on investment. If you're a growth investor or value investor this is a great company a solid B+ or A- to build a portfolio on. I would love to see this ABCD pattern complete as a great entry.

DG: What Next?I expect this next week for Dollar General to be an overall green one, but with very little movement. DG has been struggling to maintain its price above the 200 MA, currently resting above it by a thin margin, and last week found resistance at the 50 MA, which ironically was at our $205 price target for last week. Worst case scenario, DG falls to test its proven support around ~$191~. Either way, I expect a retry to surpass the $205 mark in the coming weeks. Only time will tell. **NFA
