Anthony Bonadio has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest potential future upside for Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. Despite a challenging fourth quarter and some ongoing uncertainties, Bonadio sees value in the company’s current valuation, which is considered cheap by historical standards. The potential for a favorable outcome in the 7&i deal, whether through a break or a resumption of share repurchases, presents an opportunity for future growth.
Additionally, while the U.S. fuel segment may face short-term challenges, the European operations are expected to perform well, benefiting from regulatory changes and recent acquisitions. The company’s ability to capitalize on shifts in consumer behavior, such as the nicotine shift and food momentum, also supports the Buy rating. Although the immediate outlook may appear cautious, the long-term prospects and strategic opportunities provide a basis for optimism.
