Casey’s General Stores (Kaisi) has received another bull.
Kibank Capital Markets on Thursday launched the coverage of the Iowa-based gas station and convenience store chain on the “overweight” with a target of $ 500. This is the highest of the five current value goals tracked by visible alpha, with a consensus of $ 468.50.

Kebank analysts wrote that KC’s May more can scoop more contestants – it has acquired about 470 stores in the last five years – and has increased its sales by introducing pizza and prepared foods. Analysts said, “Further, we see a balanced growth from our investment in our food innovation pipeline from the organic store opening, small acquisition … and (at a store level).”
Facility Store Sector ‘has a slight direct tariff risk,’ Kebank says
The feature store industry, which is estimated by Kebank that the sales of 2024 are $ 825 billion, “it has a slightly direct tariff risk,” it has been said. But this area is also fragmented and cooked for consolidation, 75% of series can go out of business or acquired by competitors with anticipation of kebanks.
The increase in sales in the gas station sector has come from the items sold inside snacks, drinks, tobacco and facility stores in recent years, saying that it is KC’s strength. Analysts said the company is and grows the fifth largest pizza chain in the US.
The note said, “Despite being a feature store and operating in rural and lower-population markets, KC’s finished food business produces impressive quantity, compared to the metro (average unit volume) is better,” Note said: “Its food innovation pipeline is also receiving sophistication and should drive compress growth.”
Analysts stated that pizza prices may attract customers in search of the price of Casey, below $ 1 or $ 2 below $ 1 or $ 2. CEO Darren Rebellaz said that KC is looking to save them and recently customers have been seen to get ripe items on high -priced candy.
