Timothy I. McGuire will resign from Dollar General Corporation’s Board of Directors effective December 3, 2026, for personal reasons, with no disagreement over operations, policies or practices.
FTC and various states sued Dollar General Corporation on October 26, 2026, alleging FTC Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and state-law violations and seeking injunctive relief, monetary judgment, and civil penalties. An unsuccessful defense could materially affect its consolidated financial statements.
Useful current figures from the complete screener profile.
* Q4 derived as the full year minus Q1 to Q3.
TL;DR. Dollar General delivered strong Q2 sales, operating profit, and EPS growth, raised fiscal 2026 guidance, generated $1.5 billion of year-to-date operating cash flow, and plans up to $700 million of second-half share repurchases alongside a $0.59 quarterly dividend. The outlook remains exposed to consumer strain, elevated field and transportation costs, the absence of a material second-half tariff-refund benefit, store closures, and a higher effective tax rate.
