Dollarama stock (ISIN CA25675T1075) was last at CAD 186.03 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 1.58 percent from the prior close. The company also lifted its fiscal 2027 Canadian store-opening guidance to 65-75 locations from 60-70, giving the latest market move a concrete operating backdrop.

Guidance rises with sales

According to PR Newswire on September 16, 2026, Dollarama reported fiscal 2027 second-quarter sales of CAD 2,026.6 million for the period ended August 2, 2026, an increase of 17.6 percent from CAD 1,723.8 million. Diluted net earnings per share rose 11.2 percent to CAD 1.29 from CAD 1.16.

The guidance change was equally specific: Canadian comparable-store sales guidance moved to 4.0-4.5 percent from 3.0-4.0 percent, while gross-margin guidance stayed at 45.0-45.5 percent. The revised store target points to continued expansion, but the margin figures show that revenue growth is not translating into higher consolidated profitability at the same pace.

Margins temper the growth

Dollarama reported EBITDA of CAD 653.0 million in the quarter, up 11.0 percent, while EBITDA margin declined to 32.2 percent from 34.1 percent. Operating income increased 7.0 percent to CAD 517.3 million, but the operating margin fell to 25.5 percent from 28.0 percent.

The pressure reflects the inclusion of a full quarter of Australian operations rather than the 13-day comparison period used in the prior-year quarter. PR Newswire also reported that the Australian segment remained loss-making in the fiscal 2027 outlook, making integration and international execution important counterweights to Canadian demand.

Analysts see further room

According to MarketScreener, the consensus was Outperform among 17 analysts, with an average target of CAD 207.47. That target stands 11.5 percent above the CAD 186.03 price, while the 52-week range of CAD 163.25 to CAD 209.96 places the stock 11.4 percent below its yearly high.

RBC Capital raised its target to CAD 225 from CAD 223 on September 17, 2026, while retaining an Outperform rating, according to Markets Insider. The contrast between the CAD 225 individual target and the broader CAD 207.47 consensus highlights both continued confidence in the value-retail model and the higher execution bar now embedded in expectations.

Stock remains below yearly high

Dollarama stock carried a market capitalization of CAD 50.4 billion on October 6, 2026, with trading volume of 611,866 shares. The next scheduled shareholder checkpoint is October 9, 2026, the ex-dividend date for the CAD 0.1200 quarterly dividend.
