Dollar General (DG) filed a Form 8-K with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2026. Subject of the filing: results for the period. The stock closed at $125.89, up 2.5% on the day, on $806m of turnover.
Across twelve months the stock has traded between $95.94 and $156.24, and today leaves it 50% up that band — neither end of it. The peak was February 27, 2026 (129 sessions ago), the floor November 6, 2025 (210 sessions ago).
The stock is up 4.4% over five sessions, down 0.1% over a month, up 18.2% over the year. It closed above its thirty-day average price by 1.9%.
High to low, the session covered 6.4% of price — well beyond the 2.9% this stock averages over thirty sessions. The close gave most of it back, settling only 17% up the day's range. It was the 2nd session running higher.
Worth $28bn, the company sits 57 of 154 by size within consumer. The sector as a whole finished -1.1%, leaning the other way.
Trading opened at $127.84, touched $132.50 at best and $124.50 at worst, and finished on $125.89 — 19.4% short of the $156.24 annual peak, 31.2% clear of the $95.94 annual floor.
Turnover of $806m compares with $268m on an average session for this stock, so participation was well above its own norm. Against the year, today ranks between the +14.0% best and the -7.6% worst day.
Recent form has been the other way, 16 of the last thirty sessions closing down against 14 up. Its strongest single day in the past year was +14.0% on December 4, 2025, its weakest -7.6% on May 11, 2026.
Its size-neighbours in the sector did not follow — Coupang (CPNG) -1.8% and Williams-Sonoma (WSM) +0.4% — which argues for something particular to this company. DG placed 129th of 986 on money traded.
