Alimentation Couche-Tard (ISIN CA01626P1484) was last at CAD 77.16 on the TSX on October 6, 2026, up 0.04 percent from the previous close. The company delivered fiscal Q1 2027 revenue of USD 21.7 billion, up 25 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to Simply Wall St in its September 2, 2026 earnings update.

Revenue rises, margin narrows

The latest quarter produced EPS of USD 0.90, compared with USD 0.82 in fiscal Q1 2026. Net income reached USD 828.5 million, a 5.9 percent increase, while profit margin fell to 3.8 percent from 4.5 percent.

The mix matters. Simply Wall St reported that U.S. same-store merchandise revenue grew 1.7 percent in fiscal Q1 2027, while Canadian merchandise revenue declined 2.6 percent to USD 599.9 million. That contrast makes merchandise execution a more important counterweight to fuel-led revenue growth.

Analysts see room above CAD 99

MarketBeat reported on September 8, 2026, that 12 analysts covered the stock, with 11 Buy ratings and two Hold ratings. The resulting consensus was Moderate Buy, with an average price target of CAD 99.73, according to MarketBeat.

The consensus price target lies 29.25 percent above the CAD 77.16 price. MarketBeat also cited target revisions on September 3, 2026, including Stifel Nicolaus reducing its target from CAD 108.00 to CAD 102.00 and BMO Capital Markets cutting its target from CAD 95.00 to CAD 90.00.

Stock stays below its yearly high

At CAD 77.16, the stock stood 18.91 percent below its 52-week high of CAD 95.15 and CAD 8.86 above its 52-week low of CAD 68.30 on October 6, 2026. Trading volume was 965,736 shares, while market capitalization stood at CAD 70.9 billion.

The valuation debate therefore centers on whether stronger U.S. merchandise trends can offset softer Canadian sales and a lower margin. The latest earnings showed that revenue growth remains substantial, but the quality of that growth depends on the balance between fuel prices, merchandise demand and cost control.
