Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star joryko, succinctly summed up the Dollar Tree bull case for our community:
Best in class with a substantial growth runway still remaining. 5-10% yearly storefront expansion expected and a [PEG ratio] of 0.9. 32% reduction in shares over the last decade and the best cash to debt ratio in the dollar store industry.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Dollar Tree may not be your top choice.
