Dollar General's stock rose 5.3% to $78.85 in premarket trading despite a significant earnings miss, with EPS dropping to 87 cents due to an impairment charge. The company reported a 4.5% increase in net sales to $10.3 billion, driven by higher customer spending. Dollar General plans to close 96 locations and convert some Popshelf stores to Dollar General.
