DG valuation questions
- What is Dollar General worth per share?
- Our discounted-cash-flow model of Dollar General's free cash flow after stock-based pay puts its value at ~$150 per share in the base case, with a range of ~$110–$200 across lower- and higher-growth cases. Model values under stated assumptions, not a price target or recommendation.
- What could Dollar General be worth by 2031?
- If our base case plays out, the model's value per share would be about ~$160 by 2031 (~$110–$230 across our lower- and higher-growth cases). This is where the model's value would be, not a forecast of the share price, which can stay above or below value for long periods.
- How does Fundamentalytics value Dollar General?
- We value Dollar General's normalised cash flow after stock-based pay using a ten-year discounted-cash-flow model. Near-term growth can incorporate forecasts and guidance; growth then fades to the long-run rate. The equity bridge adds cash and subtracts debt and other claims. The calculator shows the company data and assumptions you can adjust.
