Jim Cramer Notes “Dollar General (DG)’s Done a Remarkable Job at Keeping a Lid on Prices”

We recently published a list of Jim Cramer’s Game Plan: 9 Stocks in Focus. In this article, we are going to take a look at where ABC stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.

A busy shopping aisle filled with discounted items in a retail store.

Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) was mentioned during the episode, and here’s what Mad Money’s host had to say:

“Tuesday is the kind of day that explains the pain of this moment. We hear from Dollar General in the morning, and Dollar General’s done a remarkable job at keeping a lid on prices, but how much longer can they do that? We gotta listen… I think all three chains will have good quarters because they were able to bring in a lot of merchandise before the tariffs hit. It’s the guidance I’m worried about because the tariff regime means that either they need to raise prices substantially or accept a much lower level of profitability. Their stocks could be terrible. I wish they could be as adept as Costco, which reported this outstanding number.

But then Costco focuses on a relatively small number of items that it buys in extreme bulk, and it can always swap this stuff out if its suppliers get too greedy. Nobody else has that capability. My hope is that the dollar stores can raise prices once and then keep them there until they find cheaper sources. That might be tough, though, when the White House seems to want everything made here, and anything made here will be more expensive than made there.”

Dollar General (NYSE:DG) is a discount retailer that offers a wide range of everyday products, including household essentials, food and beverages, personal care items, seasonal goods, home supplies, and clothing for all ages.
