AI Summary
Dollar General has evolved into a credible cash-generative recovery story as traffic, margins, and cash flow improve together, but with shares near consensus value, investors should await proof that growth and margins persist after the $0.25 tariff-refund EPS benefit fadesâespecially through sustained traffic gains and measurable RELEX inventory improvements.
