Couche-Tard (CT), a global leader in convenience stores and fuel sales, operates over 16.500 locations worldwide! With a dual revenue model—fuel driving foot traffic to its convenience stores—the company has thrived in a fragmented U.S. market while consolidating its dominance in Europe and Canada. Its bold acquisition-driven strategy, like the recent $38 billion offer for Seven & i Holdings, signals its ambition to become the world’s top convenience store operator. But Couche-Tard faces a pivotal moment: as the world shifts to electric vehicles, will its fuel sales collapse? Can the company successfully transition to EV charging stations, or will it face unexpected competition? With its future hanging on how well it adapts, the big question remains: can CT retain its market dominance in a rapidly changing energy landscape? This analysis dives deep into these uncertainties and what the future might hold for the company. You can find our Couche-Tard fundamental analysis below.
