Highlights

The presenter is short shares of Dollar General (DG), expecting pressures on the top line from improvements at competitors and a lack of further margin improvement opportunities. Macroeconomic headwinds might see DG face “more pressure than people appreciate,” and DG could see rapid multiple contraction if investors see weaker than expected performance.
