Dollar Tree Inc. (DLTR) has a Lemma Quality Score of 6.1 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which reads as solid quality. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Set against 71 Consumer Staples companies, Dollar Tree Inc. lands at the 60th percentile, in the upper half of the group, short of the top quarter. The median across the group is 5.8, and the top quarter begins at 6.8, so Dollar Tree Inc. is in line with the typical company here.
Dollar Tree Inc.’s profitability score is 8.1 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 4.7 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well above the group and the 83rd percentile. A reading this strong says the business earns well on what it sells and on the capital it uses, the kind of margin profile competitors find hard to copy.
Solvency scores 7.9 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 65 Consumer Staples companies is 6.9, so Dollar Tree Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 74th percentile. A high solvency score means leverage is modest relative to earnings and cash flow, which gives management room to act in a bad year.
On growth, Dollar Tree Inc. scores 3.5, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 67 Consumer Staples companies, which places it below them, at the 34th percentile. When growth is this low the question is whether it is a pause or a trend, and the history behind the filings is the place to look.
Efficiency scores 6.2 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 68 Consumer Staples companies is 6.7, so Dollar Tree Inc. is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 35th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Predictability scores 4.2 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 71 Consumer Staples companies is 6.1, so Dollar Tree Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 23rd percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
This is a lopsided profile. Profitability scores 8.1 but growth only 3.5, a gap of 4.6 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. Leading with profitability is the most valuable kind of strength, because margins and returns are what the other pillars ultimately feed. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.
Closing the gap on predictability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Consumer Staples companies, 6.1, Dollar Tree Inc. would score about 6.5 instead of 6.1. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
