Dollar General 10-Q

Filing excerpt

For the 2026 period, gross profit increased by 5.5%, and as a percentage of net sales increased by 65 basis points to 31.6%, compared to the 2025 period. The increase in the gross profit rate was driven primarily by higher inventory markups, and lower shrink and damages, partially offset by increased markdowns and transportation costs.
