Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc.

ATD pitch long Melody Li ’17, Joanna Vu ’17, Thais Fernandes ’16

Thesis

Alimentation Couche-Tard is a high-quality business that is misunderstood by the market, particularly its convenience store segment which generates stable and high free cash flow. The company is well-positioned to consolidate a highly fragmented market and has a proven track record of making accretive acquisitions. With a target price of CAD83/USD65, representing a potential 44% upside, it is an attractive opportunity for investors.

Did it work?

inconclusive confidence: low

No price performance data or elapsed time is available, so it is impossible to determine whether the stock moved toward the CAD83/USD65 target or whether the thesis dynamics (consolidation via accretive acquisitions, stable free cash flow recognition by the market) played out. Without either return data or confirmed thesis events, no verdict on success or failure can be supported.
