Inside-store pricing power (prepared food/grocery SSS +4.3-4.8%) validates Consumer Resilience; margin expansion real (24.9% vs 23.7%). BUT: Q3 revenue flat despite +31 stores = macro headwind. Mgmt explicitly warns fuel margins 'elevated from historical' and 'possible' normalization from oil/macro shocks. FV $750; current $713 = 5% upside, 13% downside risk. Conviction down 7→6 due to flat Q3 revenue and fuel normalization warning.
Convenience store/gas station operator — DCF P(above)=53.1% with FV=$698. Strong unit economics, consistent comps growth, inside-the-store merchandise and prepared food outperforming. Rural market positioning is defensible. DCF P(above) at 53% is supportive. Upgrade to lean-buy: good thesis, solid fundamentals, but no specific near-term catalyst identified.
