The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 12, 2026 (estimated)

Dillard's, Inc.'s trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 0.2% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 9.6%. Where it stands out: free-cash-flow margin of 9.6% ranks 4 of 23 broadline retail companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$720 per share in the base case (~$550–$950 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow fell 17.6% while net income grew 18.4%: a 36pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 9.5% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Net cash. Cash exceeds long-term debt by $0.8bn.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Results due soon. Results are expected around 12 November; the share price can move sharply on the day.
  • Heavily shorted. 28.6% of the shares available to trade are sold short (4.8 days of average volume to cover).
  • Earnings expected to fall. The consensus expects earnings per share to fall 4% next year.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies cash flow shrinking about 0.6% a year for five years.That is close to the -0.1% a year revenue growth Dillard's has delivered.

  • Priced in-0.6%
  • Last 12 months0.2%
  • 3 years a year-1.7%
  • 5 years a year-0.1%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($629.83, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Dillard's, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($663M, FY2027 Q2 TTM), growing 1.3% and 1.9% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 2% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$550–~$950 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Dillard's, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $663M, FY2027 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Dillard's, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 9.6%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.04 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow to the firm (after stock pay, with after-tax interest added back), grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5% as the firm rate, less debt and other claims. ~$720 ~$550–$950 Primary model, counts double

Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. — Does not apply: return on equity above 40%: buybacks or intangibles make book value too small an anchor
