0804 ET - Scotiabank says an Alimentation Couche-Tard deal with 7-Eleven operator Seven & I Holdings would be "unique in its magnitude of EPS accretion," but the investment bank says other deals can be attractive as well. Analyst John Zamparo says commentary suggests that potential M&A activity is increasing in Europe. "Regardless of whether the Seven & I deal gets done, ACT has multiple forms of potential capital deployment in this fragmented industry, and leverage (GAAP basis) sits at just 1.4x," Zamparo adds. adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
