Dollar Tree: A Welcoming Destination During Recessions (Unlike Target)

Dollar Tree is a counter-cyclical name that has stronger appeal during recessions. Target’s recent earnings where consumers are trading down on goods suggests strength in DLTR products. Rising gas prices do serve to be a concern for certain customer demographics who are unable to visit discount retailers as often. Dollar Tree can be positioned as a macro hedge against uncertainty as a reasonable priced defensive name.
