This Stock Could Be The Next Chipotle. But Can It Maintain Stellar Earnings Growth?

Dollar Tree stock lost a fraction late Friday. Shares tumbled 7.8% last week, hitting a nine-year low. On Nov. 4, the discounter said that Rick Dreiling had stepped down as chairman and CEO, effective Nov. 3.

The Nasdaq 100 includes the Nasdaq’s 100 largest nonfinancial companies. Some mutual funds and ETFs track the Nasdaq 100, but the money involved is not nearly as much as with the S&P 500 index. So stock moves related to entering or leaving the Nasdaq 100 are relatively low.
