Madison Investors Fund made the following comment about Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:

“The bottom five individual contributors for the quarter were U.S. Bancorp, Progressive, Analog Devices, Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR), and Danaher. Off-price retailer Dollar Tree’s margins disappointed this past quarter. Like much of the retail industry, they are contending with higher costs related to shrink as well as the mix of sales shifting away from higher margin areas towards lower margin categories like grocery. Despite the near-term disappointment, we remain optimistic that the company can improve its profit performance. New Chairman and CEO Richard Dreiling has completely overhauled the management team with an impressive roster of retail executives, and they are spearheading a great number of initiatives that should bear fruit over the coming years.”
