Shares of discount store stocks are trading higher after Five Below raised its Q1 outlook.

Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) and Dollar General Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) shares may be breaking out. This action suggests a continued move higher.
This is why our technical analysis team has picked them as our Stocks of the Day.
Stocks trend higher due to an imbalance in supply and demand. If there are more shares to be bought than for sale, buyers need to outbid each other. They know sellers will go to whoever wants to pay the highest price. This action forces the shares into an uptrend.
At resistance levels, there are as many or possibly even more shares for sale than there are to be bought. This is why rallies end or pause when they reach these levels.
Sometimes, stocks roll over and trend lower after they reach resistance. This happens when some traders and investors who created the resistance with their sell orders become anxious.

They know buyers will go to whoever sells them shares at the lowest price. These anxious sellers don't want to miss out on the trade, so they reduce the prices they are willing to sell their shares.
Other anxious sellers see this and do the same thing. This can force the stock into a downtrend.
But sometimes, when a stock reaches a resistance level, buyers overpower the sellers and push the price higher. When this happens, traders say that it is a breakout.
As you can see on the charts of Dollar General and Dollar Tree, they may be breaking out.
Breakouts tend to be bullish. They show that the investors and traders who created the resistance with their sell orders have finished or canceled their orders.
With this large amount of supply taken out of the market, the stage could be set for a move higher. Those who wish to buy will be forced to outbid each other again to draw the sellers back in.
This could result in another bidding war that forces the price even higher. It may be about to happen with both of these stocks.

Stocks Of The Day: Will Dollar Tree, Dollar General Breakout?

After years of struggling, discount retailing giant Dollar Tree Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) could be crafting a genuine comeback story. What's more, it's not just empty words. Serious money is flowing into DLTR stock, both in the open market as well as in the options arena, implying that the rally still has legs.
The most conspicuous clue that the turnaround may be genuine comes courtesy of Stewart Glendinning, Dollar Tree's chief financial officer. Recently, the executive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DLTR/insider-trades">bought 17,000 shares of DLTR stock</a> at a per-share price of $72.75, a transaction size totaling $1.24 million. Glendinning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/03/44474568/top-wall-street-forecasters-revamp-dollar-tree-price-expectations-ahead-of-q4-earnings">succeeded</a> former CFO Jeff Davis on March 30, who previously announced plans to step down. Fundamentally, the move is a quick way to ingratiate oneself into a new role or environment.
In addition, the transaction makes for unambiguous optics. Sure, the selling of one's own company doesn't necessarily inspire confidence. At the same time, people sell securities for all kinds of reasons, many of them mundane, such as for tax purposes. It's difficult to read into these sales without deeper context.
For insider buys? It's a straightforward interpretation: the security in question is perceived to eventually rise in value.
Even better, the insider buy doesn't appear to be mere grandstanding. Amid pressure from the Trump administration's trade war, retailers have been under the gun. Nevertheless, Dollar Tree could be ideally positioned, relatively speaking.
First, management stated that tariffs typically take three to four months to impact store inventory, providing a financial buffer. Second, the company's pricing and cost strategies can help maintain strong value offerings, according to Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane.
Combined with occupying practically the lowest rung of the trade-down effect — or the purchase of less expensive product alternatives — enthusiasm for Dollar Tree may be fundamentally justified.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unusual Options Activity Sweeps into DLTR Stock</h2>
While it's always nice to see strong insider buys, it's even more encouraging when the transactions align with outside trading activity. Earlier on Thursday, Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/04/44867614/spotlight-on-dollar-tree-analyzing-the-surge-in-options-activity">options scanner</a> identified several bullish transactions, particularly call options with an $80 strike price. Since the market tends to gravitate toward round numbers — acting as psychological magnets for various order levels — the technical pull could be stronger than normal.
Of course, every day, calls and puts are being sold for major securities. Two factors, though, bring significant intrigue into the above equation. First, one of the $80 calls — which expires on May 2 — was a sweep transaction. Sweeps represent large trades that split across multiple exchanges simultaneously. Primarily, the takeaway here is speed over price. It's basically the institutional version of a market order.
Second, the volume of the sweep calls greatly exceeded the open interest reading. While it's not 100% for certain, generally speaking, a higher volume count relative to open interest suggests that new positions are being opened. In other words, there appears to be real demand undergirding these DLTR stock call options, rather than just hedging noise.
Moreover, as a sweep transaction prioritizing speed, the premium paid for the $80 calls — the ask price of $1.44 — must be reflected into the equation. Because buying calls represents a debit transaction, at expiration, DLTR stock must be worth $81.44 to break even. It's possible, then, that DLTR could pop even higher than $80.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Setting Up a Bullish Dollar Tree Options Strategy</h2>
For traders looking for a quick score, the 78/80 bull call spread expiring May 2 could be an interesting proposition. This transaction involves buying the $78 call (at a time-of-writing ask of $365) and simultaneously selling the $80 call (at a bid of $240), resulting in a net debit paid of $125. Should DLTR stock hit the $80 short strike at expiration, the maximum reward is $75, or a 60% payout.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17152303/DLTR-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-877591" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17152303/DLTR-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17152303/DLTR-stock-probability-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17152303/DLTR-stock-probability-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17152303/DLTR-stock-probability-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Statistically, DLTR stock enjoys a slight upward bias for a baseline three-week hold; that is, for any given three-week period, the odds of profitability favor the bulls. It's also worth mentioning that DLTR has thrived on prior momentum. Whenever the prior week saw a return of 5% to 10%, the subsequent eight weeks forward have seen a noticeable lift in long-side odds.
That said, while the likelihood of a positive price action appears elevated, investors shouldn't expect dramatic price gains. As such, the most aggressive short leg strike price for the May 2 expiration date should be $81.

Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane today puts forward insights from meetings with the management teams of Dollar Tree Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) and Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), along with an analysis of valuations, inventory turns and SG&amp;A ratios for the covered companies.
The note also explores the potential impact of China tariffs on profitability for Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) and Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>).
The analyst has rated the shares of Dollar Tree with Buy rating and a price forecast of $86.
Dollar Tree management said tariffs typically take three to four months to impact store inventory, providing some buffer before affecting financial results.
While near-term margins may fluctuate, they expect pricing and cost strategies to help maintain strong value offerings. They also mentioned reports of ships idling offshore, awaiting possible tariff developments, said the analyst.
Dollar Tree reports ongoing financial strain among middle- and lower-income shoppers, while upper-income spending remains strong.
A successful holiday season boosted fourth-quarter results, with continued momentum into first quarter, especially in seasonal goods.

The loss of the Marietta, Oklahoma, distribution center continues to weigh on costs but is expected to reverse once it reopens. Family Dollar's sale is projected to improve free cash flow, noted the analyst.
The analyst gave Home Depot stock a Buy rating and a price forecast of $421.
Home Depot stated most of its imported goods are seasonal, and spring merchandise is already in hand. The next major imports are scheduled for the second half of the year.
Home Depot remains cautious about housing activity in a potential downturn. Management believes buyers have already been sidelined and noted past increases in activity when mortgage rates hover around 6%-6.5%.
Management says their experienced cost teams can assess tariff implications down to the SKU level and will deploy mitigation tactics accordingly. In 2018, Home Depot absorbed two-thirds of a $2 billion tariff impact without price hikes by sourcing alternatives or adjusting operations.
The SRS acquisition has exceeded expectations, adding $1 billion in 2024 revenue. It has enhanced Home Depot's PRO offerings and helped streamline complex project sales and order management systems, including &#8220;bill upon delivery&#8221; capabilities, said the analyst.
The analyst evaluated tariff impacts on Best Buy and Target under various mitigation and SG&amp;A reduction scenarios.
Without cost cuts, Best Buy would need to raise prices by zero to 5% and Target by 1%-11% to maintain profitability. To match FY2025 earnings estimates, Best Buy must raise prices by 3%-9% and Target by 6%-17%. With a 2% SG&amp;A reduction, those figures ease slightly, noted the analyst.
The analyst is Buy rated on Best Buy and Target with a price forecast of $101 and $142, respectively.

Ross Stores To Rally More Than 17%? Here Are 10 Top Analyst Forecasts For Tuesday

B of A Securities analyst Robert Ohmes maintains Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) with a Underperform and lowers the price target from $75 to $70.

B of A Securities Maintains Underperform on Dollar Tree, Lowers Price Target to $70

Discount retailer Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) was riding high on Monday, ending the day up 7.8% following a surprise upgrade by Citi Research, which calls it one of the &#8216;silent beneficiaries&#8217; of the widespread trade tariffs imposed by the U.S. Government over the past week.
What Happened: In a somewhat surprising move, Citigroup analysts upgraded Dollar Tree to a &#8216;Buy&#8217; from their earlier &#8216;Neutral&#8217; stance. With a new price target of $103, which represents a 41% upside following its rally on Monday.
The move is surprising because, on the face of it, Dollar Tree seems one of the most exposed to the downsides of the tariffs. Especially, the mammoth 34% reciprocal rates imposed on China, from where it imports an estimated 40% of its merchandise, according to a recent analysis by KeyBanc Capital Markets.

The management itself <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">commented late last year</a> that it would have to change product specs, pack sizes, and even phase out certain items if the tariffs were reimposed by the new administration.
However, Citi analysts led by Paul Lejuez believe that the higher tariff regime could provide the company with much-needed cover to increase its prices from the standard $1.25 to $1.50 or even $1.75, significantly boosting margins, and without any blowback since it comes at a time when everyone else will be raising prices.
Why It Matters: The Analysts further believe that the tariffs will hit the company&#8217;s rivals much harder, particularly the likes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780039/amazons-chinese-rivals-temu-and-shein-got-hit-hard-by-tariffs-in-this-country-is-it-a-sign-of-things-to-come-under-trump">Temu and Shein</a>, and a recession in the coming months should make Dollar Tree&#8217;s value credentials a lot more attractive among consumers. 
Besides this, the company&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44505050/dollar-tree-sells-family-dollar-for-1-billion-truly-addition-by-subtraction-analyst-says">sell its Family Dollar segment for $1 billion</a> less than 2 weeks ago led to a broad bullish consensus among most analysts. The sale of the segment that was referred to by Evercore ISI analysts as &#8216;truly addition by subtraction.&#8217;
The average price consensus for the stock now stands at $82.85, with Citi at the high point of $103, which is rather impressive considering current market conditions.

Apple To $250? Here Are 10 Top Analyst Forecasts For Monday

A chaotic and volatile session kicked off the new week on Wall Street, with a start that offers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">little reason for optimism.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 opened with a gap below 4,900 points, then fiercely rebounded in the first hour of trading before the gains swiftly evaporated. Sentiment further deteriorated after Donald Trump adopted a more aggressive tone toward China.
On Truth Social, Trump stated that China had imposed retaliatory tariffs of 34%, on top of what he described as already record-setting tariffs, despite prior warnings that such measures would be met with significantly higher U.S. tariffs. He added that if China did not reverse the 34% hike by April 8, the United States would respond with additional tariffs of 50%, effective the following day.
He also indicated that all discussions with China regarding their requested meetings would be terminated, while negotiations with other countries that had expressed interest in talks would begin immediately.
The European Union signaled openness to implementing a zero-for-zero tariff agreement on industrial goods with the United States.
By 12:40 p.m. ET, the S&amp;P 500 was down 0.8%, the Nasdaq 100 fell 0.2%, and the Dow dropped 1.4%. Every sector remained in the red, with real estate and materials leading the losses.
In commodities, gold slipped 1.2%, heading for its third consecutive session of declines, while oil prices fell 2.3% to $60 a barrel, now down 16% from last week&#8217;s highs.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which had been spared from last week&#8217;s global market rout, joined the bloodbath over the weekend, dropping 6.4% on Sunday and holding at $78,000 on Monday.
