Dollar Tree (DLTR), a major US chain of discount variety stores that sells items for USD 1 or less, recently released a strong financial report for Q315. Total revenue spiked 136% y-o-y to USD 4.95 bn due to a 2.1% y-o-y increase in supermarket LFL sales (stores, which operate at least five full quarters), outpacing analysts’ forecast of USD 4.83 bn. Revenue was driven by a merger with Family Dollar retail chain last year. EPS dropped 29% y-o-y to 49 cents. Notably, excluding costs associated with the merger, EPS climbed 30% y-o-y from USD 1.02 to USD 1.33.The company opened 204 new stores in Q3, as a result, Dollar Tree operated 14,038 stores with a total area of 109.6 mn sq. ft. by the end of the reporting period.Robust results in Q3 allowed Dollar Tree to upgrade guidance for financial performance in Q4 and FY15. The management expects revenue to grow 115.4%-119.4% y-o-y to USD 5.32-5.42 bn in Q4. Adjusted EPS will soar 100.0%-116.4% y-o-y to USD 2.32-2.51. Revenue will be up 79-81% y-o-y to USD 15.45-15.55 bn in FY15 (vs. earlier guidance of USD 15.30-15.52 bn).I believe that synergies from the acquisition of new assets will positively impact the company's financial performance, which, in turn, will boost the company’s capitalization in the mid-term. I left my target price for Dollar Tree unchanged at USD 90 and rate the name as a Buy in the mid-term. The short-term technical target is USD 82. $DLTR, Dollar Tree, Inc. / 1440
