Shares of discount retailer Dollar General (NYSE:DG)
jumped 13% in the morning session after the company reported impressive first-quarter 2025 results, which blew past analysts' sales, operating profit, and EPS expectations. What really made the difference was people spending more during each visit, which pushed sales up and helped make up for the modest decline in traffic.
Guidance was also encouraging. Revenue projections for the full year edged higher, and the EPS range saw a slight lift at the low end. However, management also expressed concern over tariff-driven cost increases and their potential impact on consumer spending. Still, we think this was a solid quarter with some key areas of upside.

Quantum confirmed it has not changed its name to unbuzzd and is not involved in an RTO transaction. The confusion followed a May 29, 2025, release. While Quantum is unbuzzd’s largest shareholder and debt holder, the two entities remain separate. Quantum currently holds 200 million shares of unbuzzd, a 7% royalty agreement on revenue up to $250 million, and a warrant to expand its stake to 25%.
