Casey's Stock: Analyst Estimates & Ratings

Ankeny, Iowa-based Casey's General Stores, Inc. (CASY) operates convenience stores under the Casey's and Casey's General Store names in the U.S. Valued at $29.9 billion by market cap, the company offers food, beverages, tobacco products, health and beauty aids, automotive supplies, and other non-food items, as well as sells gasoline. In addition, its stores offer ATM, lotto/lottery, and prepaid cards, as well as car wash services.

Shares of this leading convenience store company have outperformed the broader market over the past year. CASY has gained 62.5% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 18.7%. In 2026, CASY’s stock rose 46%, surpassing the SPX’s 12.1% rise on a YTD basis. 

Zooming in further, CASY’s outperformance is also apparent compared to State Street SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 4.3% over the past year. Moreover, CASY’s double-digit returns on a YTD basis outshine the ETF’s 3.5% gains over the same time frame. 

CASY outperformed on a classic consolidation story in a fragmented gas and convenience market. Casey’s is using a strong balance sheet and steady cash flow to fund acquisitions and expand territory. Management’s split focus on fuel and in-store operations is paying off, with both segments posting consistently high margins. Moreover, Q4 strength was broad, driven by new stores, both segments, and margin expansion across fuel and in-store, reinforcing the self-funded growth and capital return story.

For fiscal 2027, ending in April 2027, analysts expect CASY’s EPS to grow 10.2% to $21.11 on a diluted basis. The company’s earnings surprise history is impressive. It beat the consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Among the 19 analysts covering CASY stock, the consensus is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on 12 “Strong Buy” ratings, and seven “Holds.”

This configuration is more bullish than two months ago, with 10 analysts suggesting a “Strong Buy.” 

On Aug. 25, Wells Fargo & Company (WFC) analyst Edward Kelly maintained a “Buy” rating on CASY and set a price target of $960, implying a potential upside of 18.9% from current levels.

The mean price target of $938.28 represents a 16.3% premium to CASY’s current price levels. The Street-high price target of $1,069 suggests a notable upside potential of 32.4%.
