Dollar General (DG) Looks Good: Stock Adds 6.5% in Session
Dollar General Corporation (DG - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise above 6% on the day. The upside was driven by improved results for the first-quarter 2017. Also, this led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend for the company as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $70.21 to $73.99 in the past one-month time frame.
The company has seen no positive or negative estimate revision in the past 30 days. Also, its Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the same timeframe. Yesterday’s price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
Dollar General currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.
