With the stock up sharply and Dollar Tree trading around US$133.78, but sitting above both the average analyst price target and an intrinsic value estimate, you have to ask: is there still upside here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?
With Dollar Tree closing at US$133.78 against a most-followed fair value estimate of US$117.78, the narrative leans toward a rich valuation and relies heavily on specific growth and margin assumptions.
The analysts have a consensus price target of $112.304 for Dollar Tree based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
