Analysis · CASY · Trade & Services
A strong start to fiscal 2027 for Casey's, with diluted EPS of $7.37, up 27.7% from $5.77 a year ago, driven by 24.3% revenue growth to $5.68 billion. Inside-store same-store sales were solid — prepared food and dispensed beverage rose 4.8% and grocery rose 2.7% — while fuel gallons dipped 0.3%. The company also expanded its share repurchase authorization to $1.0 billion in June and raised its quarterly dividend 14% to $0.65 per share. Against a backdrop of heavy insider selling over the summer (over $28 million in open-market sales by the CEO, CFO, and COO), these results and the expanded buyback provide a counterweight, though the insider distribution pattern remains a notable governance signal.
