At $2.00 per diluted share, quarterly earnings cleared the $1.89 analyst consensus tracked by The Wall Street Journal, representing a 12.4% improvement over the $1.78 reported in the same quarter a year ago.

Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, the company lifted its full-year diluted EPS target to $7.20–$7.45 from the prior $7.10–$7.35 range, while leaving its top-line projections unchanged at net sales growth of 3.7%–4.2% and same-store sales growth of 2.2%–2.7%. Any benefits that might eventually flow from tariff refund payments were excluded from that revised outlook.

If they can earn $7.50 this year, at a PE of 20x would get them to a $150 level, of course they might also stay stuck in the 15x range would would imply a valuation at current levels...

Here is a historical view of PE ratio for DG. (data not verified, this came from Google Gemini)
