Q2 2026 earnings summary6 Aug, 2026

Executive summary

  • Net income for Q2 2026 was $209.1 million ($11.27 per diluted share) on $6.81 billion in revenue, up from $145.6 million ($7.36 per share) on $5.0 billion in Q2 2025, driven by higher fuel and merchandise contributions and disciplined expense management.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2026 was $377.3 million, up 32% from $286.0 million in Q2 2025.

  • Growth was supported by increased fuel margins, higher retail fuel volumes, improved merchandise sales and margins, and competitive advantages in fuel supply and loyalty programs.

  • Guidance for the remainder of 2026 is intentionally conservative due to macroeconomic and supply uncertainties.

  • Resilience was demonstrated through strong fuel margins and merchandise contribution growth despite ongoing category pressures.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2026 revenues rose 36% year-over-year, primarily due to a 37.4% increase in average retail fuel sales price and a 3.9% increase in retail fuel volumes.

  • Total fuel contribution for Q2 2026 was $518.8 million (40.6 cpg), up 32% from Q2 2025; retail fuel margin increased 20.2% to 35.1 cpg.

  • Merchandise sales grew 3.6% to $1.13 billion in Q2 2026, with merchandise contribution up 4% to $227.4 million and unit margin at 20.1%.

  • Same-store fuel volumes grew 0.5% in Q2, with volume up 1.5% in early August as wholesale prices declined.

  • QuickChek performance is stabilizing, with food and beverage sales and margins turning positive.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year 2026 net income is projected at approximately $636 million, with Adjusted EBITDA expected around $1.25 billion, assuming second-half fuel margins of 35 cpg.

  • Fuel margin guidance is conservative, reflecting high confidence in deliverability but not assuming a pronounced price decline.

  • Guidance for new store openings remains at the low end of the original range, with up to 45 new stores and 10 raze-and-rebuilds expected.

  • Merchandise contribution, store OPEX (excluding payment fees and rent), and SG&A are all expected to finish at the low end of guided ranges; capital expenditures are tracking to the high end.

  • Dividend growth is targeted at double-digit rates per share over time.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
