Dollarama: Canaccord Expects Same-Store Sales Growth In Q3

Dollarama (TSX: DOL) is expected to report its third quarter financial results of 2023 this morning. The consensus estimate suggests that revenues will grow $15 million consecutively to $1.23 billion, with this estimate growing slightly over the last twelve months. Analysts expect this revenue growth to continue into gross margins, as they expect gross profits to come in at $543 million, or a 44.1% margin, a 0.5% margin improvement sequentially.

Operating profit is forecasted to come in at $315 million, up sequentially, representing an operating margin of 25.6%. Net income is expected to be $202 million, or earnings per share of $0.70. Once again, these estimates have slowly increased over the last twelve months.

There are 14 analysts covering Dollarama with an average 12-month price target of C$87. Out of the 14 analysts, one has a strong buy rating, eight analysts have buy ratings and the last five analysts have hold ratings on the stock. The street-high price target currently sits at C$95 and represents a 14% upside to the current price.

In Canaccord Genuity Capital Markets’ note on their expectations heading into the print, they reiterate both their hold rating and C$80 12-month price target, saying that they are looking for solid top-line trends to continue, which will help margins.

They expect the company to piggyback off the strong second quarter, where the company reported comparable sales growth of 13.2% year over year, which included a 20% increase in the number of transactions. Off the back of that, Dollarama increased its comparable same-store sales growth to 6.5%-7.5% from 4.0%-5.0%.

Canaccord expects the headwinds that management talked to during the first half of the year, including ongoing inflation, which has driven higher consumables sales, and a lack of health order-related operating restrictions. With Halloween sales being included in this quarter’s print, Canaccord is expecting some store sales to be up 5% year over year.

Additionally, they expect revenues to be $1.23 billion, in line with the consensus estimate. They expect EBITDA to be $382 million and earnings per share of $0.69. Canaccord also anticipates gross margins to be 44.2%, “given persistent consumer inflationary trends.” They expect people to continue to trade down to less expensive items, usually with a lower margin profile.

Lastly, Canaccord talks about SG&A costs, which they believe will stay relatively unchanged as a percent of revenue on a yearly basis. They expect increased wage expenses to offset any increase in operating leverage for the quarter.
