Could Dollar General Lose Out on Family Dollar?
Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE: FDO) is nearing the end of its hunt for a merger partner, and prospects are looking brighter for Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR), while Dollar General Corp. (NYSE: DG) seems to be slipping to the wayside. A recent analyst call shed more light on what the future holds for these dollar giants.
Currently, Dollar Tree is the front-runner to takeover Family Dollar. However, the Family Dollar shareholders ultimately will decide the fate of this transaction on January 22. It is worth noting that shareholders also voted by a large margin in December’s voting session to reexamine Dollar General’s offer.
