Anthony Bonadio has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate potential growth and value in Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. Despite a slight miss in the fourth quarter earnings, there are positive signs of improvement heading into the first quarter. The company has shown progress in its U.S. merchandise sales trends and has seen a boost in its food offerings and loyalty program, which are expected to drive future growth.
Additionally, the integration of TTE is exceeding synergy targets, contributing to a positive outlook for the European segment. The anticipated resolution of the 7&i deal could serve as a near-term catalyst, and the company’s strong cash position suggests potential for significant share repurchases if the deal does not proceed. Overall, the stock appears undervalued, trading at less than nine times EBITDA, which supports the Buy recommendation.
