Shares of Dollar Tree rose sharply Thursday after the discount retailer reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings.

The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.74 a share for its fiscal first quarter, up from $1.26 last year and above analysts' consensus estimate of $1.53, according to FactSet. Net sales totaled $4.97 billion, just beating Wall Street's call for $4.96 billion. Same-store sales rose 3.5% year over year.

Dollar Tree stock spiked 11%. Shares had tumbled 22% in 2026 -- the company's first calendar year since selling Family Dollar at an enormous loss last summer.
