On March 24, 2026, Joseph Feldman from Telsey Advisory set a price target of $140 for Dollar General. At that time, the stock was priced at $117.89, suggesting a potential increase of about 18.75%. This optimistic outlook comes amid a leadership transition, with Jerry Fleeman set to take over as CEO in 2027.
Jerry Fleeman, a seasoned executive with 35 years in the grocery industry, will succeed Todd Vasos as CEO. Fleeman's experience at Ahold Delhaize's U.S. operations positions him well to lead Dollar General. Vasos, who led the company for nearly 11 years, will remain in an advisory role until April 2027, ensuring a smooth transition.
Under Vasos's leadership, Dollar General achieved significant milestones. The launch of the DG Media Network generated around $170 million in retail media volume in 2025. Additionally, Vasos expanded the company's fresh produce offerings and initiated Dollar General's expansion into Mexico, setting a strong foundation for Fleeman.
Currently, Dollar General's stock is priced at $117.89, experiencing a decrease of $7.22, or approximately 5.77%. The stock's trading range for the day was between $117.09 and $122.81.
