Bargain giant Dollar Tree projects poor earnings as pressure builds on Americans’ budgets

Dollar Tree is predicting a tepid 2026 with fewer store openings and slower sales growth.

The bargain retailer, which sells many items for $1.25, projects sales of up to $20.7 billion this year - up 6.7 percent year-on-year but lagging behind 2025's 10.7 percent growth, according to the company’s fourth quarter and full year results Monday. The company plans to open 400 stores in 2026 - slightly down from 402 in 2025, and 525 locations in 2024.
