Bottom line
DG is trading near its usual valuation, in the middle of its recent price range, and recent volume shows no clear direction. The picture is mixed, so it may be worth watching rather than acting on. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Trading near its usual range (Yellow)
DG trades at 18× earnings, roughly in line with its own 5-year average of 19× and below similar consumer defensive companies we track (24×, 30 peers). That is roughly what the market has typically paid for this stock. Its free-cash-flow yield is about 8.8%. Its current multiple sits around the 45th percentile of its own last five years — around the middle of its own range.

It is above both its 50- and 200-day averages, which has historically signalled an uptrend.

一句话结论
DG 估值接近其惯常水平，处于近期价格区间的中部，近期成交量没有明确方向。整体情况好坏参半，也许更适合先观察，而不是急于行动。过去的形态并不能保证未来的结果。
估值 — 处于其惯常的估值区间
DG 目前的市盈率为 18×，大致持平于其自身 5 年平均的 19×，并且低于我们追踪的同类Consumer Defensive公司（24×，30 家）。这大致就是市场以往为这只股票所付出的水平。其自由现金流收益率约为 8.8%。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 45 百分位——处于自身区间的中部。
价格区间 — 处于近期区间的中部
目前价格为 $139.11，位于其近期的支撑位与阻力位之间。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 $126.29 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 1.1×。
股息与公司概况
DG 过去一年每股派息 2.36 美元，相当于当前股价的 1.7%，过去五年上调过 2 次。
