Is Dollar General Corporation under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Dollar General Corporation P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Dollar General Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Dollar General Corporation's shares trade at around 18x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Dollar General Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7986. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Dollar General Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dollar General Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $2.9 billion (£2.2 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of Dollar General Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 2.54% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 2.54% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 46.18% of net profits

Dollar General Corporation has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.54% of its share value annually.

Dollar General Corporation has paid out, on average, around 46.18% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 2.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dollar General Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about 2.36 per share.

While Dollar General Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Dollar General Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 21 April 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 7 April 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dollar General Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Dollar General Corporation's share price.
