Caseys General Stores Inc
Casey’s General Stores runs a chain of convenience stores, mostly in small towns and suburban communities in the Midwest and nearby states. Its stores sell gasoline, snacks, beverages, groceries, tobacco, and everyday convenience items, and many locations also have a made-to-order food business centered on pizza and other prepared foods. The company makes money mainly from what customers buy in the stores and at the fuel pump. Its main customers are local drivers, commuters, and families who want a quick place to fill up, grab food, or pick up basic household items close to home. Casey’s stands out because it is not just a fuel stop; it treats foodservice as a core part of the business, with pizza and prepared meals that can draw repeat visits and larger baskets than a typical convenience store. That gives it a more neighborhood-focused role than a gas station chain built only around fuel sales. The business model is simple: buy products and fuel, then sell them at retail through a large store network. Casey’s depends on frequent, everyday visits, which makes its stores useful in markets where bigger grocery or restaurant options may be farther away. That mix of fuel, convenience items, and prepared food helps the company earn money from several purchases in one stop rather than from gasoline alone.

Record year: Casey’s reported its highest-ever diluted EPS of $19.16 and net income of $714 million for fiscal 2026, both up 31% year over year, while EBITDA reached nearly $1.5 billion, also a record.
Inside strength: Same-store inside sales rose 4.2% for the year, helped by strong pizza, beverages and grocery performance. Inside margin expanded to 42.2%.
Fuel resilience: Fuel gross profit rose 21% for the year, with gallons up 10% and fuel margin averaging $0.426 per gallon. Management said volatility helped margins this quarter.
FY27 outlook: The company guided to 2% to 5% same-store inside sales growth, EBITDA growth of 8% to 10%, and at least 120 store openings, while keeping fuel margin guidance indirect.
Capital returns: The board raised the dividend 14% to $0.65 per share, Casey’s bought back about $63 million of stock in the quarter, and the repurchase authorization was expanded to $1 billion.
Growth plan: Management said the 3-year strategic plan is complete and highlighted over 500 new units added over the period, well above the original 350-store goal, with wings, pizza and CEFCO conversions all still contributing.
