No group that day
A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of WMT, COST, TGT and DG that day, the largest companies in DLTR’s SEC industry; “moved with DLTR” means the same direction and at least half the size.
What’s next · results
Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did
Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). DLTR reports before the open, so day 1 is that day’s close. Each time, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected late November to early DecemberEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Aug 27 report: +4.36%. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is DLTR’s close against its close before the filing, on licensed end-of-day closes. What happened after each report, not a forecast; a move on the day is not a cause.
Same industry
DLTR against four retail peers, a year at 100
DLTR is up 30.4% in a year. Target is up 78.8% and Dollar General 39.1%. Of these four, Walmart (+25.9%) and Costco (+13.4%) did less. Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
End-of-day closes (Databento EOD), the last close of each week. The four peers are the largest US-listed companies by market value in DLTR’s SEC industry (Retail-Variety Stores) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
