Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Casey's General Stores closed its acquisition of Fikes Wholesale, owner of CEFCO Convenience Stores, on November 1, 2024, adding 148 stores in Texas and 50 in Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi, for about 2,900 stores in total. The company funded the deal with an $850 million incremental term loan maturing October 30, 2029, and said it expects its fuel margin for the quarter ended October 31, 2024 to be about 40 cents per gallon. The filing gives no prior-period comparison for the fuel margin or other results.
