Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $6.18 billion, down 2.78% from the prior-year quarter.
DLTR's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $5.45 per share and revenue of $22.81 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +12.14% and +2.54%, respectively.

Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
