Dollar General Corporation (DG)
Consumer Defensive · Discount Stores · Data as of 2026-09-01
Bottom line
DG is trading at a discount to its history, near its historical support zone, and recent volume shows no clear direction. Historically, this combination has been a favourable starting point for further research. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Trading at a discount to its history (Green)
DG trades at 16× earnings, below its own 5-year average of 19× and below similar consumer defensive companies we track (23×, 30 peers). Historically this has been on the cheaper side for the stock. It also generates strong cash: a free-cash-flow yield of about 10%. Its current multiple sits around the 26th percentile of its own last five years — toward the low end of its own range. Its fundamentals scored 8 of 9 on a standard year-over-year quality checklist — most of the underlying trends improved last fiscal year.
Price zones — Near its historical support zone (Green)
At $131.09, the stock is close to the lower end of its recent range. Over the past year DG has traded between $95.11 and $158.23; its historical support zone sits near $125.68 and resistance near $158.23. It is above both its 50- and 200-day averages, which has historically signalled an uptrend.
52-week range $95.11–$158.23 · 50-day average $121.93 · 200-day average $125.68
Money flow — No clear direction (Yellow)
Buying and selling volume in DG have been fairly balanced recently, with no strong accumulation or distribution pattern. Volume on up days has been about 1.4× volume on down days over the last 30 sessions.

一句话结论
DG 相对自身历史处于折价水平，接近其历史支撑区，近期成交量没有明确方向。从历史来看，这样的组合是一个值得进一步研究的有利起点。过去的形态并不能保证未来的结果。
估值 — 相对自身历史处于折价水平
DG 目前的市盈率为 16×，低于其自身 5 年平均的 19×，并且低于我们追踪的同类Consumer Defensive公司（23×，30 家）。从历史来看，这属于该股较便宜的一侧。它同时产生充沛的现金：自由现金流收益率约为 10%。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 26 百分位——处于自身区间的偏低位置。在一套标准的逐年基本面核对清单上，它 9 项中通过了 8 项——上一财年多数底层趋势在改善。
价格区间 — 接近其历史支撑区
目前价格为 $131.09，接近其近期区间的下沿。过去一年 DG 的价格在 $95.11 到 $158.23 之间波动；其历史支撑区在 $125.68 附近，阻力区在 $158.23 附近。它同时位于 50 日和 200 日均线上方，这在历史上通常对应上升趋势。
资金流向 — 方向不明确
DG 近期的买卖成交量大致均衡，没有明显的吸筹或派发形态。过去 30 个交易日，上涨日的成交量约为下跌日的 1.4×。
