...and Dollar Tree becomes the Three Dollar Tree [Disclosures](   Room service has arrived [EyeEm via GettyImages]   Yesterday’s Market Moves   Dow Jones 33,844 (-1.59%) S&P 500 4,308 (-1.19%) Nasdaq 14,449 (-0.44%) Bitcoin $43,692 (5.23%) Dow Jones 33,844 (-1.59%) S&P 500 4,308 (-1.19%) Nasdaq 14,449 (-0.44%) Bitcoin $43,692 (5.23%) Hey Snackers, While you’re visiting grandma in Jupiter, Florida, NASA’s new spacecraft will [visit]( eight asteroids around Jupiter’s atmosphere — 4X more than any in history. Stocks dropped again to close out September, notching their worst monthly performance since March 2020. Investors have been stressing over inflation, global supply-chain crunches, and rising Delta cases. On the plus side: Congress narrowly [avoided]( a government shutdown (for now). Washington Dollar Tree ditches the dollar standard — and paves the way for higher profits Three Dollar Store… just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Discount legend [Dollar Tree]( announced [plans]( to start selling more items for $1.25, and even $3.50 (gasp). Driving the price jumps: a triple whammy of inflation, a global supply crunch, and the ongoing labor shortage. Despite the sudden shift from its signature price point, Dollar Tree shares jumped 16% yesterday after its announcement. The namesake barrier... has been broken before. Since 2019, Dollar Tree has experimented with $3 and even $5 items in a section labeled “Dollar Tree Plus” (not a streaming service). Last year rival [Dollar General]( launched Popshelf, a store aimed at higher-end shoppers like [suburban moms]( who still love a good deal (prices up to $5). For Dollar Tree, price bumps have been hugely successful so far. And investors smell profit... - Profits are 6% higher at “premium” Dollar Tree Plus stores than at regular Dollar Trees. DT expects to have 500 Plus stores by fiscal year’s end — and 5K by 2024. - $5 products such as “Grandma’s Heirloom Pillow” and “decorative topiary” appeal to higher-income customers, who are more willing to splurge. - Ditching the dollar standard allows Dollar Tree to expand into pricier — and potentially more profitable — new categories. Think frozen meats and seasonal decorative goods (#HallowLantern). THE TAKEAWAY The price is right — if the time is right… Some companies can justify price hikes thanks to coveted brands or cutting-edge tech. Since DT doesn’t have either of those, timing is key. Right now, consumers appear to be less sensitive to price hikes: Consumer prices jumped 5.3% year over year in August and have risen at record rates for five straight months. And despite a 5X increase in freight costs, Dollar Tree’s profits have grown since 2019. Once costs and inflation levels stabilize, Dollar Tree may be in a position to get even more bang for its buck. Yoda Disney is opening a ‘Star Wars’ hotel as IRL experiences make a profit comeback The Tourist Strikes Back… So does Mickey. After a desolate pandemic stretch, [Disney]( is [opening]( an immersive “Star Wars”-themed hotel to win back customers’ hearts. It'll open in March at the Disney World Resort in Orlando. Fans of the intergalactic franchise can opt into a two-night choose-your-own-adventure stay aboard the Halcyon Starcruiser (featuring lightsaber training and model ship building). The package includes tickets to the Hollywood Studios park and three meals a day (#lightsavor). Experiences are back-ish... Disney’s "Parks, Experiences, and Products" division, which includes resorts and cruises, lost a record $2B during the pandemic. Meanwhile, Disney+ saw impressive growth. Last quarter, Disney’s Experiences biz turned a profit for the first time in over a year. But not all experiences are created equal... - Sad carnival: Disney’s cruise fleet has been stalled as Covid resurges, and [Carnival's]( Princess Cruise line canceled a number of its voyages. The cruise industry is now worth just $24B, down from $154B prepandemic. - Parks intensify: Disney’s park-pass reservation system has allowed it to maximize attendance under Covid restrictions. Last quarter, Disney's Parks and Experiences division pulled in $4.3B in sales, up 4X from the previous quarter. THE TAKEAWAY Safe thrills > cheap thrills… To attract customers after the height of the pandemic, companies need to offer supercharged experiences — with safety precautions. [Airbnb]( has expanded to unique stays like yurts, houseboats, and caves to lure adventure-hungry remote workers. Disney’s new Wish cruise line will feature Broadway-style musicals and an infinity pool, and Celebrity Cruises debuted a 3D laser show for dinner guests. But all have implemented Covid safety measures, like contactless check-in, proof of vaccination, or facial-recognition tech to make their thrills safe. What else we're Snackin' - [Stress]( Congress passed a short-term funding bill just hours before a deadline that would’ve started the first government shutdown since 2019. - [Nuggets]( Chicken giant [Tyson]( said 91% of its employees are vaxxed, after implementing a vax mandate that covers all 120K of its US workers - [Accelerate]( Pharma giant [Merck]( signed a $11.5B deal to buy drug developer Acceleron and its portfolio of rare-disease treatments. - [Oregano]( Shares of spice classic [McCormick]( dropped 3% after it warned that inflation and pricey packaging costs will lower profits for the rest of the year. - [Blimey]( UK-based food-delivery company Deliveroo partnered with British grocery chain Morrison’s to transport treats in as little as 10 minutes. - [Play]( IKEA partnered with Asus sub-brand Republic of Gamers to roll out a line of furniture for gamers, including desks, chairs, and COD-friendly neck pillows. 🍪 Thanks for Snacking with us!
