Five Below and Dollar Tree Earnings Signal a Shopper Shift
Author: Chris Markoch. Posted: 12/7/2025.
Key Points
- Five Below delivered strong Q3 results with double-digit growth, rising comps, and raised guidance, signaling robust consumer interest in affordable discretionary goods.
- Dollar Tree also beat earnings expectations but showed a shift toward essentials, with margin pressure and declining consolidated revenue after divesting Family Dollar.
- Both stocks are breaking out similarly to 2022, suggesting potential inflationary pressures and a broader consumer shift toward value-driven shopping behavior.
Investors received solid third-quarter earnings reports from Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR) and Five Below, Inc. (NASDAQ: FIVE) on Dec. 3. Both companies beat revenue and adjusted earnings per share (EPS).
Notably, both stocks are breaking out in a pattern similar to 2022, when inflation peaked and consumers shifted sharply toward value retailers.

Much of the commentary has focused on a more “choiceful” customer — a polite way of saying consumers are bargain hunting. For investors, the renewed strength in discount retail may reflect more than price sensitivity—it could signal a broader shift in consumer behavior.
As the old saying goes: history doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes. Are these earnings simply evidence of consumer resilience, or a prelude to renewed inflationary pressure?
Five Below: A Clean Beat and a Full-Blown Momentum Story
Five Below delivered exactly what momentum traders wanted in its Q3 earnings. The company reported double-digit revenue growth, a 14.3% jump in comparable sales and an EPS beat, supported by increased store traffic and higher average tickets.
The company added 49 net new stores in the quarter and raised full-year guidance, signaling confidence heading into the holiday season.
Unlike many big-box retailers struggling with slowing discretionary spending, Five Below continues to show that inexpensive, small luxuries are sticky across markets.
Its formula—trend-right goods at “why not?” prices—captures consumers who won’t splurge at mall prices but still want small treats.
That positioning mattered in 2022, when Five Below thrived because consumers didn’t just trade down—they traded down intentionally to keep spending. The current setup suggests a similar behavioral trend: inflation concerns aren’t killing demand; they’re redirecting it.
Dollar Tree: Another Beat, but a Different Trajectory
Dollar Tree also posted a strong earnings report, with beats on revenue and earnings, but its story is more nuanced. Following the divestiture of Family Dollar, consolidated revenue declined year-over-year and operating margins compressed.
Comparable sales rose 4.2% driven by stronger average tickets, while traffic dipped slightly.
Looking deeper into the report, consumables and discretionary sales grew by 3.5% and 4.8%, respectively. However, the sales mix continues to trend toward essentials over multiple years.
That’s a classic signal—when budgets tighten, households don’t necessarily shop less; they shop cheaper, shifting spending into necessities at fixed-price stores.
In short, Five Below points to consumers still embracing small joys, while Dollar Tree reflects households tightening grocery budgets. This bifurcation mirrors late-2021 and 2022: resilient spending, but shifted toward value, clearance racks and $1-to-$5 baskets.
What the Financials Say About the Consumer
Five Below’s results suggest consumers continue to make discretionary purchases while trading down from traditional retailers—managing inflation by seeking value rather than eliminating non-essentials.
Dollar Tree’s results paint a more defensive picture. Growth there is being driven by higher average tickets and small basket inflation, even as transactions slipped. The company is also facing margin pressure, higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, and lower consolidated revenue without Family Dollar—signs of stress among low-end consumers.
What the Charts May Say About Inflation
Over the past five years, both FIVE and DLTR have shown a similar trajectory: post-pandemic rallies, sharp resets as stimulus faded, and now renewed breakouts on the back of better-than-expected earnings. This pattern is not coincidental—discount retail often leads when inflation expectations rise.
These breakouts suggest markets may be pricing in:
- Slower progress on disinflation
- A sticky floor under consumer pricing
- Renewed pressure on household budgets
Importantly, the 2022 story wasn’t driven solely by Consumer Price Index (CPI) readings. It was behavioral: consumers redefined value. The breakouts we’re seeing now imply a similar narrative could shape consumer sentiment going forward.
The Market Isn’t Waiting for Data
Investors will get more clarity on Dec. 5 when the belated September Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) is released. Consensus expectations sit near 2.8%. A print at or below that level would confirm muted but persistent inflation; a reading that moves higher toward 3% or above would make 2022’s pattern look less like coincidence and more like foreshadowing.
But the key point is this: discount chains are rallying ahead of the data. Markets trade on anticipation, not confirmation.
Five Below reflects consumers choosing value without abandoning discretionary identity. Dollar Tree reflects consumers tightening at the pantry level. Together, they sketch the same macro portrait that preceded last cycle’s inflation peak: consumers who are still spending—but are shopping smarter.

1 Samuel 15:22-23 – Obedience Over Sacrifice: Why God…
Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser.
1 Samuel 15:22-23
(22) And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. (23) For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
King James Version Change email Bible version
Saul had convinced himself that God would accept an extravagant offering of animal flesh, bestowing on Him great honor and glory for their victory over the Amalekites, in place of his simply doing what He said. Put another way, the king had prioritized a pious demonstration of worship (read, appeasing gift) over obedience. Samuel’s inspired response is essentially, “Sorry, Saul, but you got it completely backward!”
As the prophet says, “To obey is better than sacrifice” (see Mark 12:33). God looks more favorably on a person who takes His Word at face value and single-mindedly follows its direction than on someone who blithely excuses his failures and reframes them as “opportunities” to bring God glory. This latter attitude is perilously close to the apostle Paul’s rhetorical question, “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” (Romans 6:1).
The explanation for Samuel’s declaration of God’s priorities appears in I Samuel 15:23: “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.” Not doing as God says is not merely disobedience but rebellion: “open opposition toward a person or group in authority,” as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it. In other words, it is a manifestation of an individual’s active, anti-God nature. Disobedience to God’s commands puts a person on the wrong side of the battle line dividing right from wrong. Such a one may as well have taken up arms against God!
His comparison of rebellion to witchcraft can seem strange at first, since insurrection and sorcery appear to have little in common. However, the comparison is not focused on the kinds of sin they represent but on their magnitude: Rebellion is just as bad as witchcraft. Disregarding God’s clear commands is just as spiritually dangerous as getting involved in demonism. In fact, rebellion is one of the demons’ great sins. Both rebellion and divination lead a person away from God, and without repentance, open a place for him in the camp of the demons. This is why God rejected Saul as king over His people. He would not have a declared enemy ruling over Israel.
A few clues in the chapter show that this singular act of rebellion over the punishment of the Amalekites was not the first, although it may have been the worst. For one, Saul speaks to Samuel of “the LORD your God” three times (I Samuel 15:15, 21, 30), suggesting that the LORD was not truly his God but Samuel’s. By this time, he appears to have begun going through the motions of serving God, but he had no personal devotion to Him.
For another, despite being the undisputed leader of the nation, he blames the people for failing to do as God commanded (I Samuel 15:15, 21, 24). His shifting of blame is just an evasion, since he could have ordered the animals and other plunder destroyed at any time. He probably did not want Agag and the spoils of war destroyed because he had other plans for them—most likely to enrich himself and to reward his soldiers to keep their loyalty.
In this light, his seeking of pardon for his sin and his worship of God are a sham (I Samuel 15:24-25, 30). He is merely saying the right words, but they are not from his heart. There is no contrition for his grievous sin. In fact, in the second instance, after Samuel tears the kingdom from Saul, the king does not even bother to ask for forgiveness. Instead, he requests that the prophet join him as he worships God—a cynical act of political theater.
Undoubtedly, God knew Saul’s heart had been trending away from Him for a long while, and his willingness to compromise in the Amalekite matter was simply the last straw. The man had declared himself a rebel and would not return to Him. So, Samuel proclaims:
The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you. And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent. (I Samuel 15:28-29)
God’s decision was final because Saul’s rebellion had hardened into permanent character. He was as apostate as a witch.
This vignette has dire ramifications for those nominal Christians who believe that it is no longer necessary to obey God’s commandments, many of whom do not keep even those from Jesus Himself! While God desires that we worship Him and wants us to be sincere in doing it, He wants us even more to take His commands seriously and make obeying them an integral part of our lives.
It is so vital that Jesus tells the rich, young ruler, “If you want to enter into [eternal] life, keep the commandments” (Matthew 19:17). Reason tells us that refusing to keep them will deny us eternal life. Later, Jesus commands His disciples in John 14:15, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” If we strive to do this in faith and without compromise, He will provide the grace we need and lead us to salvation.

3 Recently Downgraded Stocks to Avoid in 2026
Written by Dan Schmidt. Publication Date: 12/11/2025.
Quick Look
- Marvell Technology was downgraded due to potential revenue risks from Amazon’s in-house chip development, despite strong earnings.
- Lucid Group faces solvency concerns as it burns cash and risks shareholder dilution, prompting a severe downgrade from Morgan Stanley.
- Robert Half was downgraded due to AI-related threats to its staffing model and declining relevance in an increasingly automated job market.
Earnings season has concluded, the Federal Reserve has cut another 25 basis points, and investors are now focused on whether the S&P 500 can reach the 7,000 mark by year’s end. Yet not all stocks have enjoyed the recent bullish momentum. These three companies were recently downgraded by analysts, highlighting growing concerns that could weigh on their stock prices heading into 2026.
Why Downgrades Matter More Than Upgrades
Stock analysts are a bit like meteorologists: they do difficult, often thankless work and are remembered more for their misses than their hits. Unlike weather forecasters, though, analysts must also contend with the reactions of company executives.
How the Rich Retire (Ad)
While President Trump’s official salary is $400,000 per year… his tax returns reveal he’s been collecting up to $250,000 PER MONTH from one hidden source. Until recently, most Americans couldn’t touch the type of investment that makes up this investment. But thanks to Executive Order 14330, that just changed.

Stock coverage can be a tightrope. Analysts must provide accurate, reliable research to clients while managing relationships with corporate management. Companies often exclude analysts with Sell ratings from investor calls, which creates pressure to issue more Buy or Hold recommendations than Sells.
For that reason, a downgrade—from Buy to Hold, or especially from Hold to Sell—should trigger more attention than an upgrade or a higher price target. Downgrades typically reflect substantive concerns about a company’s outlook, backed by detailed analysis.
Here are three stocks that were recently downgraded and the reasons behind those actions.
Marvell Technology: Strong Earnings Mask Brewing Headwinds
Marking down a semiconductor stock like Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL) requires conviction, especially when the stock is up more than 35% in the last three months.
The company beat top- and bottom-line estimates in its fiscal Q3 2026 results released after the market closed on Dec. 3, reporting record quarterly revenue and 38% year-over-year growth in its data center business.
So why did Benchmark downgrade the stock from Buy to Hold following earnings?
Marvell relies heavily on selling chips to AI hyperscalers, and one of its largest historical customers is Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN). Amazon is moving to next‑generation Trainium3 chips, and it’s unclear whether the partnership will continue under the same terms.
In his report, Benchmark analyst Cody Acree said he expects Amazon to use a Taiwanese fabricator for Trainium3, which would create a meaningful revenue gap for Marvell if the relationship shifts.
Other commentators offer differing views on Marvell’s ties to Amazon, but the partnership remains a critical dynamic for investors. Next quarter’s report will include full-year fiscal 2027 projections, which could reveal weakness from lost contracts with Amazon or other hyperscalers. Any softness in data center revenue guidance or deteriorating gross margins—potentially from pricing pressure—would lend credence to Acree’s concerns.
Technically, the stock is hovering around the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). If that level gives way, it would be another negative mark against the former tech sector darling.
Lucid Group: Cash Burn Increases Risk of Dilution
Cash-strapped electric carmaker Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) has faced recurring downgrades, and its valuation — roughly five times sales — belies mounting debt concerns.
The stock carries a consensus Reduce rating based on 11 analyst reports, but a recent downgrade from Morgan Stanley caught attention. Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas cut the rating from Buy to Underweight (Sell) and slashed his price target from $30 to $10.
Lucid lost more than $2.7 billion over the last 12 months, increasing pressure on management to raise capital and further diluting existing shareholders. Jonas doesn’t expect the company to reach profitability until 2028 at the earliest, and the loss of EV tax credits has weighed on demand.
Jonas estimates Lucid will need to raise at least $2 billion to remain solvent through 2026, which would increase share supply while the stock trades near multi-year lows. The price had been hovering near the 200-day SMA but has further collapsed amid the threat of dilution. Unless Lucid’s Galaxy SUV achieves outsized success, the stock likely has more downside.
Robert Half: Unique AI Vulnerabilities
If you were job hunting during the Great Financial Crisis, you’ve probably encountered Robert Half Inc. (NYSE: RHI), one of the largest staffing agencies in the U.S.
Times have changed, and the company now faces multiple threats from AI. The stock received two Sell downgrades in the last month from Zacks Research and BNP Paribas, with Zacks going so far as to label it a Strong Sell.
The AI threats are twofold. First, Robert Half generates revenue by placing candidates in full- or part-time roles, and generative AI tools have made resume screening and skills matching easier for employers to do in-house.
In that scenario, Robert Half risks being cut out as a middleman.
Second, the firm focuses heavily on administrative and back-office staffing—roles that are among the most vulnerable to automation.
Robert Half faces a potential long-term contraction in its addressable market, and its stock has struggled to keep pace with AI-driven changes. RHI shares are down more than 60% year-to-date, and the price is approaching resistance at the 50-day SMA.
