What Went Right
  • Q4 adjusted EPS of $1.53 beat guidance, and full-year adjusted EPS of $4.61 landed above the guided range.
  • USFS local case growth accelerated to 2.6% in Q4, with H2 growth of 2.9% versus 0.5% in H1; June was the strongest month.
  • International adjusted operating income grew 15.7% — the 11th straight quarter of double-digit growth — and Sysco Brand local mix improved 30bps to 46.4%.
What to Watch
  • Gross margin fell 17bps to 18.7%, pressured by inbound fuel costs and a tough prior-year strategic sourcing comparison.
  • Restaurant foot traffic remains down year-over-year, and national restaurant chain volumes were soft; FY27 assumes a similar macro environment.
  • Share repurchases are suspended while Sysco pursues Restaurant Depot; the FTC issued a second request and the deal is expected to close by Q3 FY27.
Management Guidance
  • FY27 revenue growth of 6%-7% to ~$90B, including the 53rd week.
  • FY27 adjusted EPS growth of 9%-11%, or $5.02-$5.12; Q1 FY27 adjusted EPS expected at $1.18-$1.20.
  • FY27 includes ~$100M net in-year AI/cost-out savings (~$160M run-rate), with international expected to deliver double-digit profit growth.
Investor Lens
Core thesis is stronger after this call: momentum accelerated into fiscal year-end, and FY27 adjusted EPS guidance of 9%-11% is at the top end of Sysco's long-term algorithm even with buybacks paused. The AI-driven $100M cost-out program is designed to offset that suspension and support margin expansion. International remains a compounding profit driver, while Restaurant Depot, if approved, would add scale and de-levering capacity. Key risks are FTC execution and soft restaurant macro trends, but the Q4 beat suggests company-specific initiatives are gaining traction.

📈 STRONG Q4 beats with $1.53 adjusted EPS; FY27 EPS growth guided 9%-11%.
Revenue
Revenue rose 4.7% to $22.1B in Q4. USFS local and national volumes each grew 2.6%, while international local case growth was 4.5% with international sales up 6.7%. Full-year FY26 sales grew 3.9%.
Profitability
Adjusted EPS was $1.53, up 3.4%, ahead of guidance; full-year adjusted EPS was $4.61, above the guided range. GAAP operating income rose 10.6% to $983M, adjusted operating income grew 4.1% to $1.1B, and net income increased 3.8% to $551M.
Margins
Gross margin declined 17bps to 18.7%, reflecting inbound fuel inflation and a difficult strategic sourcing comparison. Adjusted operating expenses were 13.5% of sales, down 20bps, and adjusted operating profit growth of 4.1% outpaced gross profit growth of 3.7%, showing operating leverage.
Balance Sheet
Net debt leverage was 2.7x at quarter-end. FY26 free cash flow rose 16.3% to $2.1B and operating cash flow grew 5.1% to $2.6B. Sysco paused share repurchases, maintained its ~$1B annual dividend plan, and raised the quarterly dividend to $0.55 per share.
Key Risks
Management flagged gross margin pressure from inbound fuel costs and the tougher prior-year sourcing benefit. Restaurant foot traffic remains negative, with national chain restaurants soft. The FTC's second request on Restaurant Depot adds regulatory uncertainty, and share repurchases stay suspended until deleveraging targets are met.
Outlook
Sysco guided FY27 revenue growth of 6%-7% to ~$90B and adjusted EPS growth of 9%-11% ($5.02-$5.12), including the 53rd week. Q1 FY27 adjusted EPS is expected to be $1.18-$1.20, with ~$100M of net cost-out savings planned for FY27.

📊 Explore The Finmagine™ Methodology

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.
