Current thesis
The bull read is that Q1 was not just an accounting beat: total fuel contribution rose to 35.0 cpg from 25.4 cpg, merchandise contribution increased 7.3% to $210.2 million, volumes grew 2.1%, and management said March strength carried into April with expected all-in margins of 35-40 cpg [#8-K-2026-04-29]. If that cadence holds, the company has room to outperform its original 2026 operating framework.
