If you believe DG can sustain mid-single-digit growth while protecting its margins and returns, then the stock looks worth considering because its valuation is far below MSFT’s on P/E, P/S, and EV/EBITDA; if you require MSFT-like quality and growth, DG’s discount is likely justified.
DG trades at a deep relative valuation discount to MSFT, with a P/E of 18.5x versus 26.9x, P/S of 0.7x versus 10.4x, and EV/EBITDA of 8.2x versus 16.5x. The implied price of $184.56 suggests 45.3% upside, but the wide gap reflects very different business quality and growth profiles rather than a clear mispricing.
