Dollar General is expected to stabilize EBITDA in the second half of 2025 and resume margin growth in fiscal 2026 on the back of simplified execution, increasing trade-in behavior, and store remodels as key factors supporting comparable sales and margin recovery. The retailer's financial strategy remains defensive, focusing on debt repayment with no share buybacks planned until leverage approaches three times EBITDA.
