0906 ET - Canada's Alimentation Couche-Tard could be a good candidate to buy EG Group's U.S. assets, TD Cowen's Michael Van Aelst says in a note. The owners of EG Group, a multinational gas station and convenience store retailer, have reportedly expressed interest in selling the company's roughly 1,500 sites in the U.S. If EG Group were to do so, Van Aelst thinks, "Couche-Tard would be a logical candidate to buy as few operators are large enough to fund such a deal." He says Couche-Tard has $10-$15 billion of acquisition capacity. Van Aelst thinks the addition would translate to about C$1-a-share lift to Couche-Tard's share value, and C$4-C$7 a share once synergies kick in. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
