Dollar Tree, Economic Data: What to Watch on Wall Street November 20th

On Thursday, November 20th discount retailer Dollar Tree (DLTR) is scheduled to post third quarter results before the opening bell. Wall Street forecasts a profit and revenue higher than the year ago quarter. The retail chain is in discussions with the Federal Trade Commission about the number of store divestitures the agency requires in order to approve its Family Dollar (FDO) acquisition. Dollar Tree has said that it would be willing to divest as many stores as possible to get the deal done. Other notable earnings include electronics retailer Best Buy (BBY) and The Gap Inc (GPS). It's a busy day on the economic calendar, as the October consumer price index, final PMI manufacturing index, Philadelphia Fed Survey, and existing home sales figures are all due out.
