• 2. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "Although we believe that CASY's share repurchase program and underlying CPG margins provide support for the earnings outlook, F2018 is shaping up to be a tough year for CASY. We are lowering our F2017E EPS to $4.56 (from $5.11) and F2018E EPS to $4.85 (from $5.77). We lower our target price to $108 and shift our valuation out to F2019E EPS and maintain a 20x P/E multiple. Key Pointsforecasts given an outlook for: 1) a continued challenging promotional environment stemming from big-box retailers and national pizza chains; 2) a wide price-gap given deflationary pressures at grocery stores; 3) a moderating sales boost from initiatives; and 4) continued pressure on Casey's core consumer given ongoing challenging farm incomes."
