Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Defensive / Household Products. Price $131.42, market value $24.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 16.1×** (5-yr avg 20.6×, 3-yr avg 18.9×). Dollar Tree Inc. trades at 16.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 20.6×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 16.6×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.12**. A PEG of 0.12 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.2×.
- **Price / book: 7.2×**. The shares trade at 7.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.0%** (5-yr avg 3.8%). Free cash flow equals 8.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 3.8%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 6.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 6.2% of the price is earned each year.

- **Net margin: 6.6%**. 6.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 34.2%**. 34.2% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.

- **Return on assets: 12.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 12.0% of profit.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 144.3%** (3-yr -4.8%/yr, 5-yr 1.9%/yr). Earnings per share rose 144.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 2.7%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 2.7% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
