03:00 PM EDT, 03/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Dollar General ( DG ) is likely to initiate 2025 guidance below expectations due to a host of factors, Oppenheimer said in a note Tuesday.

According to the firm, the guidance will come in below estimates due to ongoing wage pressures and macro and competitive challenges which could weigh on the discount store chain's top-line growth.

The company is due to report Q4 results on Thursday and Oppenheimer said it expects earnings to come in-line with management's implied guidance of $1.26 to $1.66 per share. The firm expects $1.43 per share, within the company's range, but below the consensus of $1.50.

"From here, we are closely watching company efforts to drive a turnaround, which we believe thus far have been masked by both macro and competitive headwinds," Oppenheimer said.

The firm has a perform rating on the stock.
