Canaccord Estimates Alimentation Couche-Tard Reports Q1 EBITDA Of $1.3 Billion

On August 31, Alimentation Couche-Tard’s (TSX: ATD.B) will be reporting its fiscal first quarter financial results. Then the webcast will be held the following day at 8:00 AM EST. Canaccord Genuity released their estimates while reiterating their hold rating and $48 12-month price target. They say that they hope to see “signs of normalization point to improving fuel volumes and same-store sales.”

Alimentation Couche-Tard has 16 analysts covering the stock with an average 12-month price target of $55.40, or just an 8% upside. The street high sits at $65 while the lowest comes in at $45. Out of the 16 analysts, 3 have strong buy ratings, 10 have buys and 3 have hold ratings.

Canaccord’s estimates are slightly ahead of the street consensus. They are forecasting EBITDA to come in at $1.272 billion and an EPS of $0.67. This is slightly higher than the streets $1.221 million EBITDA estimate but below the streets $0.71 EPS estimate.

They also believe that the company has soft comparables for fuel volume due to COVID-19 but believe that margins will show that they are normalizing. Travel volumes were down “21.2%, 25.6% and 12.4% YoY in the US, Canada, and Europe respectively relative to pre-pandemic levels.” They are fairly bullish on management’s ability to deliver robust same-site fuel volume as they forecast growth to be 25% in the US and Canada while 20% in Europe.

Canaccord is not as bullish on fuel margins, which will be offset by the fuel volume. They write, “Market data indicate margins remain high relative to pre-pandemic levels, although we expect margins to compress YoY as supply-side dynamics (such as the ongoing transport truck driver shortage) normalize.”

Below you can see Canaccord’s first quarter 2021 key assumptions.
