Dollar Tree recovers from multi-year lows

PARAGRAPH 1 --- Dollar Tree (DLTR) shares surged over 20% in a week, recovering from multi-year lows, following a strong Q1 earnings report. The discount retailer reported sharply rising profits and management expressed optimism about decades of growth. The company's board also replenished its $2.5 billion share repurchase authorization, indicating confidence in the stock's value.
