<Can we flip the discussion: Why should it trade at 10 times projected 2023 earnings? I'm having trouble understanding why it would, particularly given that it continues to grow revenue at a decent clip despite the recent setbacks, and given that it continues to show it is able to generate profits even in less than ideal circumstances.>

I should say I am not sure about DG since I haven't shopped there. I bought foot locker about 5 years ago, it went up and down a few times, fortunately I sold it break even or event made a profit. All I can say is retail is hard and unpredictable. How many famous retailers had gone out of business in the past few decades? It's almost like restaurants, there're many choices.
