Risk: To get a real sense of DLTR’s risk, check how it’s handled past market selloffs. It fell about 67% in the Dot-Com Bubble and dropped over 53% during the Global Financial Crisis. The Inflation Shock pushed it down around 40%, while the 2018 Correction and Covid Pandemic both saw dips north of 30%. So even with solid fundamentals, DLTR hasn’t been immune to steep declines when the market takes a nosedive. It shows that no matter how strong a stock looks, big selloffs can hit hard.

DLTR stock may have seen strong gains recently, but investing in a single stock without detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
