Dollar Tree Inc. (ISIN US2567461080) was trading at EUR 102.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 12:49 p.m. CEST, plus 0.49 percent versus the prior close of EUR 101.68. Loop Capital upgraded the retailer to Buy and raised its 12-month price target from USD 130.00 to USD 140.00 on October 1, 2026, according to CNBC.

Loop Capital raises the target

The analyst action gives Dollar Tree a fresh bullish signal after a difficult share-price stretch. Loop Capital cited the holiday selling season, the multi-price initiative and stepped-up shareholder returns, while the report said the stock had fallen more than 13.00 percent over the previous month on October 1, 2026.

The call is not unanimous. MarketBeat reported on September 30, 2026 that Evercore downgraded Dollar Tree from Strong Buy to Hold and cited an average analyst target of USD 131.45.

Second-quarter numbers set the test

Dollar Tree reported USD 4.89 billion in revenue for fiscal 2026 second quarter, up 7.00 percent from the comparable period, according to The Globe and Mail on August 27, 2026. GAAP earnings per share came to USD 2.70 versus USD 1.16 consensus, while operating margin reached 14.10 percent compared with 4.90 percent in the prior-year quarter.

The same report placed fiscal 2026 third-quarter GAAP earnings per share guidance at USD 0.88, below the analyst estimate by 36.20 percent. That contrast matters: sales and the latest reported margin improved, but the next-quarter earnings outlook remains the key counterweight to the new Buy rating.

Stock remains below its yearly high

On the Nasdaq, Dollar Tree closed at USD 114.43 on October 1, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT. The 52-week range was USD 84.71 to USD 142.40, leaving the stock 19.64 percent below its high based on the same currency and date.

The euro quotation therefore shows a modest daily gain, while the primary-market context still places the shares well below their yearly peak. For investors, the next comparison is between the USD 140.00 Loop Capital target and the company guidance for fiscal 2026 third-quarter earnings.
