⚡ Highlights:

  • MNRO stock looks overvalued. But there is a bull case based on free cash flow and weakening inflation.

  • But looking closer, both pillars of the bull case fall apart.

  • More broadly, Monro as a business has disappointed for years now.

  • Multiple compression alone can drive nearly 20% downside in the stock. Profit declines and a changing narrative suggest an even larger pullback.
