Dollar Tree Shares Climb, Stellantis Down, AppLovin Stock Up

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Dollar Tree (DLTR) shares are up as it was raised to buy from neutral at Citi, which anticipates the higher across-the-board tariffs will be positive for the discount retailer.

- Stellantis NV (STLA) shares are down. However, the Jeep-maker is willing to help its suppliers pay tariff costs to withstand the initial shock of US President Donald Trump’s trade war. The automaker has outlined a program in which suppliers would apply for help from the company to make monthly tariff payments to the US government, according to a person familiar with the matter. Marlo Vitous, Stellantis’ head of purchasing in North America, laid out the plan during a meeting with suppliers in Detroit last week, the person said.

- AppLovin (APP) shares are up as a proposal to merge itself with the US subsidiary and eventually the global business of TikTok, as reported by CNBC, would help the advertising-technology firm accelerate its reach beyond its typical video-game clientele and into e-commerce. But its bid could be crowded out by other potential bidders such as Amazon, Blackstone and Oracle. AppLovin is expected by consensus to reach record free cash flow near $3 billion in 2025, thanks to ads, which yielded a 76% adjusted Ebitda margin in 2024.
