Dollar General (DG) Delivers Market-Beating Returns in 2025
Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) is one of the Best Dividend Stocks of 2025, surging by more than 49% since the start of the year. A busy shopping aisle filled with discounted items in a retail store. After experiencing several years of declining market share to competitors like Walmart and weakening profits, DG faced challenges in its stock performance. However, the company's 'Back to Basics' turnaround plan, combined with economic disruptions from the trade war, played a key role in restoring both revenue and profit growth. This recovery was reflected in a 16% single-day surge in the stock following the release of its fiscal first-quarter earnings in early June. In the first quarter of 2025, Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) reversed its profit decline trend, reporting a gross margin increase of 78 basis points to 31.0%, driven by lower shrink and higher inventory markups. On the other hand, selling, general, and administrative expenses rose by 77 basis points to 25.4%, mainly due to increased labor costs, higher incentive payouts, and spending on repairs and maintenance. Analysts believe that Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) remains well-positioned for further growth, supported by ongoing store openings and updates to current locations through its Project Elevate and Renovate initiatives. The company offers a quarterly dividend of $0.59 per share and has a dividend yield of 2.10%, as of June 26. While we acknowledge the potential of DG as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

The share price of Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE:HP) fell by 10.93% between June 18 and June 25, 2025, putting it among the Energy Stocks that Lost the Most This Week. An offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico surrounded by a sea of blue. Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE:HP), together with its subsidiaries, provides drilling solutions and technologies for oil and gas exploration and production companies. Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE:HP) suffered a setback after analysts at Barclays recently lowered the stock's price target from $20 to $17, while maintaining an 'Equal Weight' rating on its shares. The analysts highlighted the underperformance of North America's onshore energy services, stating that the trend could continue until rig count declines cease and expectations for the second half of 2025 are reset downward. Barclays has lowered its estimates across its coverage, but the firm believes that the 'worst-case scenario' of crude oil below $55 per barrel 'is now behind us', and that there may be a more stable environment ahead for the energy industry. While we acknowledge the potential of HP as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
