Dollarama Sees Sales Cooling in 2027 as Economic Pressures Hit Low‑Income Shoppers -- Market Talk
Dow Jones03-24
0911 ET - Dollarama is anticipating a slowdown in sales in fiscal 2027, signs that a challenging economic climate is affecting even lower income households in Canada. The discount chain expects same-store sales to slow to 3%-4% in fiscal 2027, down from 4.2% the prior year, suggesting lower-income households are feeling the strain of rising costs tied to U.S. trade tensions and higher oil prices. Typically, tighter household budgets drive more traffic to Dollarama, but the softer outlook marks a shift from the previous quarter. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
