Dollar General Corporation is currently running 53.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against DG's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 96th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 24.2%.

DG is trading -48.0% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -18.8%, and the deepest was -58.9% in 2023. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.

Price sits +8.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 57th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year DG closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, DG finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +0.8% and an average of +3.1%. Its strongest month historically has been June at +4.6% on average, its weakest August at -3.2%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: DG has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 95 of 3,266 sessions (2.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +12.2% and -7.0%.

All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against DG's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
