COST Costco Wholesale Corp.
Costco runs a chain of membership warehouse clubs: large, no-frills stores where shoppers pay an annual fee for the right to buy. It stocks a deliberately narrow range of goods — food and household staples alongside general merchandise such as apparel, appliances and home goods, plus ancillary offerings like gasoline, pharmacy and optical — and sells them in bulk at very small markups. The merchandise moves close to cost; the membership fee is where most of the profit comes from.

DG Dollar General Corporation
Dollar General runs the largest chain of discount stores in the United States, counted by number of locations — small-format shops concentrated across the southern, midwestern and eastern parts of the country. It sells everyday goods cheaply, with consumables — the household and food items people buy and use up — making up most of the sales, and seasonal merchandise, home products and apparel behind. It carries both national brands and its own private labels priced below them, and earns its keep on the spread between what it pays for the goods and what shoppers pay at the register.

The same four lines for every member, in strict ticker order; a figure that could not be read renders as "not read," never as a mark against the record beside it. The header describes the list and names no member; the entries carry no ranking and form no score. What a chapter cannot carry — understanding of the business, and a price — is yours.
No company matches that. Try a ticker, or part of a name.
