Q2 FY27 earnings call · Aug 27, 2026
Q2 FY27

TL;DR. Dollar Tree posted Q2 comp sales of 3.7% with positive traffic earlier than expected and raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $7.70-$8.05 (including ~$0.60 of net tariff refund benefit), while flagging that gross margin is expected to be down in Q4 due to higher fuel/freight costs and inflation.

Bullish
  • + Diluted EPS of $2.70 beat the outlook, with $1.31 from tariff refunds/reinvestments/duties and $1.39 underlying.
  • + Raised fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $7.70-$8.05 from prior range.
  • + Returned $605M to shareholders via buybacks in Q2 and reduced share count ~8% over the last 12 months.
  • + Multi-price penetration rose ~400 bps YoY to 17% of sales and consumables posted a 5.8% comp.
Bearish
  • − Gross margin guided to be down YoY in Q4 due to higher freight/fuel costs and inflation.
  • − Helium shortages cut Q2 sales by ~$15M (30 bps comp) with no assumed near-term recovery in back half.
  • − TSA income guidance lowered by $5M as transition services roll off.
  • − Q3 EPS outlook of $0.80-$0.95 includes a ~$0.50 negative impact from tariff refund reinvestments.
