What the Analysts think about Sysco

Analyst projections of the future price of Sysco stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Sysco’s latest quarter showed resilient underlying demand: US local case volume rose 2.7% and adjusted earnings per share grew 3.5%, despite weak restaurant foot traffic. This gives the company a volume base to build on. (Sysco)
Sysco expects $100 million of efficiency savings in fiscal 2027 and has set a target of at least $500 million from AI-enabled efficiencies by fiscal 2029. If delivered, these savings could support earnings growth even when sales growth is modest. (Sysco)
Restaurant Depot would give Sysco a cash-and-carry channel aimed at smaller independent restaurants, complementing its delivery-led business. Management says the acquisition could widen its reach and create new growth opportunities, although it remains subject to regulatory approval. (CNBC)
Sysco’s first-quarter sales missed estimates, and it now expects fiscal 2027 sales growth at the low end of its 6%-7% range. The company cited soft restaurant traffic, higher fuel costs and lower food-cost inflation, all of which make near-term sales growth harder to deliver. (MarketWatch, Sysco)
The Jetro deal still faces regulatory uncertainty: the FTC’s review was ongoing in October, with the companies responding to requests for more information. A delay or adverse outcome could defer the expected growth benefits or prevent the deal from closing. (Distribution Strategy Group, CNBC)
The acquisition financing is a significant balance-sheet and dilution risk: Sysco’s financing transactions raised $25.65 billion through a mix of stock, senior and subordinated notes, and loans. Jetro’s former owners are expected to hold about 16% of the combined company after closing. (Paul, Weiss, StockTitan)
