In December, Dollar Tree, Inc. reported financial results for its third quarter 2025, which ended Nov. 1.
Net sales increased 9.4% to $4.7 billion, and same-store net sales increased by 4.2%, driven by a 4.5% increase in average ticket and a 0.3% decline in traffic.
Gross profit increased 10.8% to $1.7 billion and gross margin increased 40 basis points to 35.8%. The expansion in gross margin was primarily driven by improved mark-on from pricing initiatives, lower domestic and import freight costs, favorable sales mix, partially offset by higher tariff costs, markdowns, and shrink.
The company also opened 106 new Dollar Tree stores.
