Caseys General Stores IncCasey's General Stores shares fell more than 14% on Wednesday after its first-quarter earnings report failed to meet elevated investor expectations, despite beating consensus estimates on both the top and bottom lines. The stock dropped $104.46 to close at $629.03. The company reported GAAP EPS of $7.37 and revenue of $5.69 billion, both above Wall Street forecasts, yet analysts pointed to premium valuation and market expectations skewed toward the high end of the company's guidance range. The stock's decline came even as analysts at Jefferies, RBC Capital Markets, and Bank of America defended the company's operating performance and valuation case.
