The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I've added a bit, not a lot. My view of intrinsic value has gone down, but not as much as the stock price.

There are some good thoughts posted on the DG board, and dpla3 passed along what I find to be a good take on the issue:

eaglepointcapital.substack.com - Whats going on at dollar general

I'd recommend both the article and the comments, and clicking through to the 2021 piece.

I think it's clear that the firm is having significant labour issues, and is also finding competition to be a bit stiffer than normal (via two different streams, Family Dollar + WMT/TGT ). If Q2 was a 'kitchen sink' quarter, the possibility of which is raised in the above, the stock is looking quite cheap. That's a big if, though.

As it stands I think DG is the worst performing or second worse performing stock in the S & P 500, year to date.
