The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Because I stopped there, so I didn't get to - in the case of DG - look at that debt level and maturity... I changed my mind while I was writing that to not be lazy, and looked in https://investor.dollargeneral.com/download/compan... and page 119 worries me a bit with near term debt maturity ($1.5B in <1 yr?), their current rating, and cost of refinancing."

That near term debt was now refinanced on the below terms:

"Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) has priced $500M of 5.200% senior notes due July 5, 2028 and $1B of 5.450% senior notes due July 5, 2033."

seekingalpha.com - Dollar general raises 15b through two series of senior notes offering

Seems pretty routine to me, though Mr. Market is still sour, with a low under 154 this morning.

I've started a decent sized position.
