1 Growth Stock Down 68% to Buy Right Now

Summary
Nutrition label

74% Informative

Dollar General shares fell 32% on Aug. 29 , the stock's worst day ever.

The retailer's second-quarter earnings miss and lowered revenue guidance for the remainder of the year .

But this might actually be a prime time to buy shares in this savvily positioned company.

Dollar General doesn't really go head-to-head with bigger players like Walmart or Target .

The economy is reliably cyclical, but ultimately growing.

The past couple of years have been the exception to this norm.

While it's struggling right now, Dollar General is likely to be faring better soon.

Its stock should start pricing in such a turnaround even sooner.
