Dillard Inc.

Dillard Inc. is among the world’s largest Department Stores sector businesses in the world.  Dillard Inc.’s employees generate $227.2M in profits on $7.564B of revenue.  Global output in the Department Stores business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Dillard Inc. is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Department Stores segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Dillard Inc.’s ticker symbol DDS has recently been trading near $36.67 a share.  The Dillard Inc. corporate headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas predicts Department Stores profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $2.946B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.74, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, Dillard Inc. moves less aggressively.
