Discount retailers are in focus after Dollar General (DG) and Dollar Tree (DLTR) announced quarterly results this week. Forrester Research retail analyst Sucharita Kodali joins Wealth host Brad Smith to compare the bargain retail companies and determine which stock is more attractive to investors with consideration to the impact of President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. "Both of these companies have issues related to the consumer just not being confident. They’re heavily dependent on SNAP consumers [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly the Food Stamp Program], lower-income consumers who are most stretched right now," Kodali says. The analyst tells Yahoo Finance, "If I had to pick, I’d probably say that Dollar Tree has a little bit of an edge because it’s embarking on a broader tiered pricing strategy to try to bring some of its price points up." Watch the video above for more on how Dollar General and Dollar Tree, like other retailers, are preparing for Trump’s tariffs.
