Hide Out in Dollar, Not Quite

If you’re looking for a safety play Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Parkhill has an idea for you.

He suggests hiding out in Dollar General.

”Morgan Stanley added Dollar General to its best ideas last this past April because we think this companies has more specific drivers to drive both sales and margins over the next few years," says Parkhill on Fast Money.

”Overall they have a real estate relocation program which is adding 3% to sales on its own. On top of that they’ve been adding more merchandise to their stores and re-merchandising more categories within their stores. And they have square footage growth of about 5%."

"So if you add all that up you get 10% growth potential,” Parkhill concludes.
