Couche-Tard Posts $19.5 Billion Q4 Revenue as Fuel Margin Surge Offsets Demand Drop

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 23

Summary

  • $19.5 billion in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue marked a 20% year-over-year jump for Alimentation Couche-Tard, with the Circle K owner beating analysts’ sales and earnings estimates.
  • Fuel margins rose sharply after war-driven price spikes in the Middle East lifted gasoline profitability, even as overall fuel demand fell.
  • $750 million above analyst forecasts, the revenue result underscored how stronger fuel economics outweighed weaker volume in the quarter ended April 26.
