“It was simply Dollar Tree selling Family Dollar. And Dollar Tree remains an investment-grade company, but Family Dollar is now a private company, and that no longer has the investment-grade rating associated with it.”
Dollar Tree's sale of Family Dollar drove the decline in Realty Income's investment-grade client percentage; Dollar Tree itself remains an investment-grade tenant.
“the total exposure from Dollar Tree, Family Dollar was circa 3%. Post this separation, it'll be 2% is going to go with the Family Dollar and 1%”
Realty Income quantifies its ~3% combined tenant exposure to Dollar Tree and Family Dollar and how it splits after Dollar Tree's divestiture of Family Dollar.
“You talked about Family Dollar and Dollar General. Yes, there were a couple of Family Dollar assets that we did sell vacant. But I'll also share with you that we have 38 Dollar Generals that came up for renewals and we captured over 109% on those renewals. We had about five Dollar Tree, Family Dollar renewals. There too it was over 108.3% or 108.4%. So these businesses are continuing to hold on to their assets and are continuing to perform very well, especially with the backdrop that we are all experiencing. Family Dollar is a bit of a question mark. We'll see how it all settles out. But in terms of Dollar General, Dollar Tree, those are going to continue to do well, in my opinion.”
Realty Income sold a couple of vacant Family Dollar (a Dollar Tree brand) locations and renewed five Dollar Tree/Family Dollar leases at 108%+ of prior rent; management flagged Family Dollar specifically as "a bit of a question mark" even while expecting Dollar Tree overall to do well.
“we have opened 254 new stores so far this year, including 42 former Party City locations”
Dollar Tree is opening new stores in 42 former Party City locations, reflecting Party City's store closures and Dollar Tree absorbing party-goods retail real estate.

Dollar Tree launched a delivery partnership with Uber Eats, giving it access to Uber Eats' roughly 25 million, younger customer base across about 8,500 stores.
“Enterprise results include a $19 million or $0.07 per share benefit from a Mastercard settlement in discontinued ops”
