Loop Capital upgraded Dollar Tree stock from Hold to Buy and raised its 12-month price target from USD 130.00 to USD 140.00 on October 1, 2026, as CNBC reported. The revision gives the stock a fresh analyst catalyst, while the latest operating figures show why the rating changed.
Three milestones shape the case
On July 2, 2026, Dollar Tree authorized a USD 2.50 billion share-repurchase program that could cover up to 10.70 percent of outstanding shares, according to MarketBeat.
On August 27, 2026, Dollar Tree reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of USD 4.89 billion and earnings per share of USD 2.70. Revenue increased 7.00 percent year over year, while earnings per share exceeded the USD 1.15 consensus estimate by USD 1.55, according to MarketBeat.
On October 1, 2026, Loop Capital became the third dated milestone by moving its rating to Buy and lifting the target from USD 130.00 to USD 140.00. The sequence links capital returns, stronger sales and a more constructive analyst view without treating the target as a guaranteed outcome.
What does the target change mean?
The latest quarterly comparison is the key answer. Revenue reached USD 4.89 billion against USD 4.86 billion of consensus, while the USD 2.70 earnings-per-share result stood USD 1.55 above the USD 1.15 estimate, according to MarketBeat. The counterweight is guidance: fiscal third-quarter earnings-per-share guidance was set at USD 0.80 to USD 0.95, while full-year fiscal 2026 guidance stood at USD 7.70 to USD 8.05.
Next report date is December 2
The next quarterly report is scheduled for December 2, 2026, before the open, with consensus earnings per share of USD 0.92 and revenue of USD 5.00 billion, according to FundSpec. That date will test whether the sales growth and earnings upside from the fiscal second quarter can continue into the next reporting period.
