Irene Nattel's questions to Caseys General Stores Inc (CASY) leadership • Q4 2025
Question
Irene Nattel inquired about current consumer behavior, particularly among low-income shoppers, and what the rewards program reveals about spending habits. She also asked about the promotional strategy for fiscal 2026 and the upcoming summer months.
Answer
CEO Darren Rebelez stated that the overall consumer is resilient, with traffic holding up across income levels. He noted a distinction within the low-income cohort between stretched families and younger, early-career individuals with different spending habits. For FY26 promotions, he highlighted the return of the popular BBQ brisket pizza LTO, continued strength in hot sandwiches, and the value proposition of the bakery category as an alternative to higher-priced candy.
