  1. I was looking to the chart of DLTR. seems it has big gaps !

    I can understand the reasons of most gaps.
    I have only one gap which has no valid reason in my point of view. this gap happened in March. that was the date they announced the 4th quarter earnings.

    The reported EPS as $4.37 and adjusted EPS as $1.89 .

    Is that something bad to have this big change between the EPS and the adjusted one ? I see it is still above 4th Quarter of 2017 which was 1.35

    I checked the transcript of this call and I see it as very good performance !

    Yahoo had a report stating that :
    "The stock sank as much as 16% after the company said that this year would fall way below expectations. For full year 2018 the company said it expects profit in the range of $5.25 and $5.60 a share. Analysts were expecting $6 a share"

    I don't know how yahoo got this statement from the transcript !! did I oversee it ?
