What the Analysts think about Sysco

Analyst projections of the future price of Sysco stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Sysco’s fourth-quarter sales rose 4.7%, with US Foodservice case volumes up 2.5% and local volumes up 2.6%. The stronger volumes point to improving customer momentum. (GlobeNewswire)
Sysco has set a target of at least $500 million in AI-powered efficiency savings by fiscal 2029 and raised its mid-term adjusted EPS growth target to 9%–11%. If delivered, these savings could support stronger earnings growth. (OTC Markets)
Restaurant Depot would add a large cash-and-carry business and management expects $250 million in annual net cost synergies once fully ramped. If the deal closes and those savings are achieved, the combination could broaden Sysco’s customer reach and improve cash generation. (StockTitan)
The Restaurant Depot transaction is expected to lift net leverage to about 4.5 times at closing, while former Jetro owners would receive roughly 16% of the combined company. Sysco has also paused share buybacks, leaving less near-term flexibility for shareholder returns and debt reduction. (StockTitan, StockTitan)
Restaurant foot traffic remained weak year on year, and higher inbound fuel costs weighed on gross margin; fourth-quarter gross margin fell 17 basis points. Continued pressure could make it harder to turn volume gains into profit growth. (Motley Fool)
Fiscal 2027’s 6%–7% sales-growth outlook includes a 53rd week, which is expected to contribute about 2 percentage points. The plan also includes $100 million of cost savings, so underlying growth may be less impressive if those savings do not arrive as expected. (GlobeNewswire, Motley Fool)
