Caratlane vs Malabar Gold And Diamonds

Malabar Gold & Diamonds is far bigger: its global turnover was about $7.31 billion (₹63,000 crore) in FY2024-25, roughly 13 times CaratLane's ~$544 million (₹4,690 crore) FY2026 revenue (year ended March 2026). Malabar also runs more stores, 425+ showrooms in 14 countries by March 2026 versus CaratLane's 383 across India and the US, and employs more people (21,000 versus about 2,800). CaratLane is the more profitable of the two on paper, disclosing EBIT of ~$54.1 million (₹466 crore) and profit after tax of ~$31.1 million (₹268 crore) for FY26 through parent Titan Company's filings, figures Malabar does not publish because it remains privately held.

Costco vs Target

Costco is far bigger than Target: $303.2 billion in total revenue for fiscal 2026 (ended August 30, 2026) versus Target's $104.780 billion for fiscal 2025 (ended January 31, 2026), roughly 2.9 times Target's sales. Despite that gap, Target's 3.5% net margin in FY2025 narrowly beat Costco's roughly 3.0% net margin in FY2026, because Costco's warehouse model runs on thin, capped merchandise markups cushioned by membership fees rather than high per-item profit. Ron Vachris has led Costco since January 2024 and Michael Fiddelke has led Target since February 2026.

Costco vs Walmart

Walmart is far bigger by revenue: $713.2 billion in fiscal 2026 versus Costco's $303.2 billion for its fiscal year ended August 30, 2026. Walmart also earned more net income in absolute terms, $21.9 billion against Costco's $9.23 billion, but Costco converts membership fees into a leaner, more concentrated business with 341,000 employees against Walmart's roughly 2.1 million. Costco's U.S. and Canada membership renewal rate was 92.3% in FY2026, the clearest sign its loyalty model is working even as Sam's Club raised its own fees in May 2026.

Dollar General vs Dollar Tree

Dollar General is far larger than Dollar Tree by sales: $42.7 billion in FY2025 net sales (year ended January 30, 2026) versus Dollar Tree's $19.41 billion (year ended January 31, 2026), roughly 2.2 times as much. Dollar General also earned more total profit, with $1.51 billion of FY2025 net income against Dollar Tree's $1.28 billion, even though Dollar Tree grew sales faster, up 10% versus Dollar General's 5.2%. By market value, Dollar General was worth about $26.9 billion on September 30, 2026, versus roughly $24.7 billion for Dollar Tree on September 8, 2026, a far narrower gap than their revenue difference suggests.

Dollar Tree vs Five Below

Dollar Tree is the much bigger company by revenue, reporting $19.41 billion in net sales for fiscal 2025 (ended January 31, 2026) versus Five Below's $4.76 billion for the same fiscal year. Five Below is growing far faster and is slightly more profitable on a percentage basis: its net sales rose 22.9% in fiscal 2025 against Dollar Tree's 10%, and its roughly 7.5% net margin edged out Dollar Tree's 6.6%. Dollar Tree runs about 4.7 times as many stores, 9,436 versus 2,022 as of August 1, 2026, while Five Below's smaller footprint has more room to expand toward management's long-term target of over 3,500 U.S. locations.

Editorial Methodology

Company Research

We use company filings, annual reports, company statements and press reports, with primary sources preferred where available. Each financial row shows its recorded source. Full-year figures are separated from annualized run-rates, partial periods and forecasts; unaudited figures carry a label. Source detail varies by company, so check the linked material when the reporting basis matters.

1. Primary Sources

Public companies may provide filings and annual reports. Private-company figures may come from statements or press coverage. A missing figure stays missing, and a source link should identify where its number came from.

2. Expert Curation

We organize company records and review claims for strategic context, source quality and clarity. Pages show a review date where one is recorded.

3. Multi-Pass Audit

Technical checks flag inconsistent figures and missing links. Editorial review of the underlying source remains necessary for claims those checks cannot verify.
