Family Dollar, le détaillant “discount” américain, vient de publier les résultats de son troisième trimestre fiscal clos fin mai 2011. Sur la période, la firme enregistre un bénéfice net de 111,1 M$ et 0,91$ par titre, contre 104,4 M$ et 0,77$ un an avant. Ainsi, le bénéfice net a grimpé de 6,5% et le bpa de 18,2% en glissement annuel. Le consensus tablait sur un bpa de 0,95$. Les revenus augmentent de 7,8% à 2,153 Mds$, avec une performance de 4,7% à magasins comparables. Pour le T4 fiscal, les revenus sont attendus en hausse de 5-7% à magasins constants, pour un bpa allant de 62 à 70 cents
Family Dollar est sous les projecteurs ce jour à Wall Street. L’investisseur activiste William Ackman vient en effet de monter à 8,9% du capital du détaillant discount de Caroline du Nord via son hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management LP. Fin mars, Ackman ne détenait encore que 4,7% des parts. Pershing possède actuellement 11 millions de titres. Le détaillant américain compte déjà un autre investisseur de renom à son capital, Nelson Peltz et son fonds Trian Fund Management s’affichant à 6,5%. Family Dollar avait repoussé en mars une offre de rachat de 7 Mds$ de Trian.
