Jim Cramer says Dollar General has Walmart to blame for ugly earnings

Dollar General's weak quarterly earnings report, and the stock's subsequent brutal selloff, has fellow retailer Walmart to blame, according to Jim Cramer. Shares nosedived more than 25% on Thursday after the discount retailer lowered full-year guidance for profit and sales. Management expects 2024 same-store sales to be up 1% to 1.6%, missing expectations for a 2% to 2.7% increase.

Cramer argued that Walmart's been able to grab market share from Dollar General because the former has been offering more and more bargains and deals that are affordable to lower-income consumers.
