“Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR) – DLTR was a top performer after it reached an agreement in March to sell its underperforming Family Dollar business, a decade-long drag on growth and margins. This divestiture has driven a stock re-rating, reflecting a higher-quality company focused on value creation at the Dollar Tree banner. The recent elimination of the de minimis exemption has yielded positive sentiment towards retailers like DLTR. We remain attracted to its pricing flexibility and margin enhancement opportunity.
