Deutsche Bank on Family Dollar Stores (FDO); Disappointing Results; Gap Widens Versus Dollar General (DG)

Article Stock Quotes (3) Comments (0)

Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Hold' on Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE: FDO) price target of $66.00.

Deutsche analyst said investors were hoping Family Dollar's new COO hire would help close the gap versus Dollar General (NYSE: DG). However, it seems more like the J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) scenario, where expectations were too high. Couple that with Q3 earnings that missed estimates this morning, same-store sales that fell short and inventory levels up 22% year-over-year.

Deutsche Bank cuts Q4 EPS estimate from $0.80 to $0.76 and same-store sales from 6.5% to 6.0%
