Jim Cramer on Dollar General: “We See If It’s as Good as Dollar Tree”

Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) was among the stocks Jim Cramer was focused on, as he discussed Mad Money’s latest game plan for the week. With the company reporting on Tuesday, Cramer expects DG to report earnings similar to Dollar Tree’s. The Mad Money host said:

Now that same morning, we see Dollar General. We see if it’s as good as Dollar Tree, which reported a blowout quarter yesterday morning. Dollar Tree has sensational numbers and a bright forecast despite its core clientele being weighed down by higher fuel costs and inflation. I expect the same thing to happen with Dollar General.
