Dollar Tree shares fell on Wednesday following a National Retail Federation report indicating potential price increases due to President-Elect Donald Trump's proposed tariff policies. The stock, already down 56% year-to-date, is experiencing further pressure, affecting other discount retailers like Dollar General and Five Below.
Dollar Tree's plan to close 1,000 locations is expected to benefit competitors like Dollar General, Walmart, and discount grocers, as shoppers seek new budget destinations.
