The firm sees upside to company's 2%-3% same-store-sales growth outlook for fiscal 2026 given its exposure to the employed low-income consumer and higher level of middle income consumers trading down. Following a meeting with management, JPMorgan says Dollar General is "back on offense." The stock in premarket trading is up 3%, or $3.79, to $137.00.
