If you believe DG's premium to peers is justified by its stronger operating/EBITDA/net margins (4.2% / 7.6% / 2.8%), superior recent revenue growth (5.0%), and notably lower leverage (Debt/Equity 0.4x), then maintain or modestly add exposure because those fundamentals support a valuation above KR-implied range; otherwise, reduce or trim exposure because the current price ($143.43) is ~39.0% above KR-implied valuation ($87.51) and could re-rate toward the $52.13-$87.51 KR-implied band.
DG is priced materially above KR-implied range (current $143.43 vs KR-implied high $87.51, implying -39.0% downside) while sitting inside its historical band. The premium is most evident on earnings and sales multiples (higher P/E and P/S), although on an EV/EBITDA basis DG is roughly in line or slightly cheaper than Kroger.
