What is this Case About: Dollar General Corporation (DG) Made False and Misleading Statements Regarding its Business Prospects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that:

(a) Dollar General stores were chronically understaffed and suffering from logistical and inventory management problems, which left stores with tens of millions of dollars’ worth of outdated and unwanted inventory, mispriced goods, and lost and damaged items;

(b) large backlogs of unsellable merchandise had built up at Dollar General’s stores, which inventory had not been timely written down due to understaffing and the Company’s failure to manage its inventory;

(c) the allotment of employee hours per store per week imposed by Dollar General management placed employees in virtually impossible situations where assigned tasks, including those necessary to effective store operations, could not be completed within the allotted time;

(d) Dollar General was systematically overcharging customers for items upon checkout above the listed price in violation of state laws, including state law violations identified by state regulators in Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio;

(e) Dollar General’s reported revenue and earnings during the class period were artificially inflated by defendants’ over-pricing scheme;

(f) Dollar General’s failure to manage store inventories and accurately price items upon checkout risked the loss of customers, lower sales, adverse regulatory actions, and reputational fallout; and

(g) that Dollar General was not on track to achieve its projected 4Q22 or FY23 projected guidance provided to investors.

On August 31, 2023, Dollar General reported poor 2Q23 financial results, slashing its sales and profit outlook for FY23. On this news, the price of Dollar General stock declined $19.00 per share, or 12%, on August 31, 2023.
