Food distributor Sysco beats quarterly expectations as US demand improves
July 29 - Packaged and fresh food distributor Sysco (SYY.N), opens new tab beat analysts' estimates for fourth-quarter revenue and profit on Tuesday, helped by improvement in its U.S. operations. The company, which supplies to chains such as KFC and Subway, has been grappling with an uneven recovery in restaurant industry traffic as looming economic uncertainties prompted consumers to increasingly cook meals at home. Sysco's U.S. foodservice segment, its largest business, posted sales of $14.76 billion during the quarter ended June 28, up 2.4% over the year earlier. The segment had seen a 0.7% increase in the preceding quarter. The company is also trying to cut costs through measures such as renegotiation of supplier contracts to procure raw materials at lower prices. To lower shipping expenses, it has introduced programs such as "Sysco-to-go", which requires customers to pick up orders directly from its stores. On an adjusted basis, it earned $1.48 per share during the fourth quarter, beating analysts' average estimate of $1.39 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. Sysco's total sales rose 2.8% to $21.14 billion, also ahead of the estimate of $21.03 billion. The Houston, Texas-based company forecast fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings per share to be between $4.50 and $4.60. Analysts were expecting a profit of $4.67 per share. The company's shares were down 3% in early trading.

Is Greggs about to go the same way as Starbucks?
As anyone who binged on Christmas chocolate as a child with predictably messy results can testify: you can have too much of a good thing. This appears not to have occurred to high street baker Greggs, which now sells more than 1m of its iconic sausage rolls a day. The company opened 226 new outlets last year, a number that falls to 145 net after factoring in closures and the relocation of existing stores – but it's still wildly impressive for our supposedly stagnant high streets. A similar number of new stores is planned for this year. The chain has its roots in the north, so it has been targeting the south, as well as transport hubs: train stations, airports and the like. But might its runaway popularity be a problem? The Greggs estate now amounts to more than 2,600 stores, some of which are within a very short walk of each other. This can create the sort of problems familiar to American owners of fast-food franchises, sold by the likes of McDonalds or Subway. This bunching-up, sometimes referred to as the ' Starbucks overreach ', can boost brand visibility and increase impulse buys. But when overdone, it risks cannibalising sales. In our bigger cities, you're never far from a frappuccino served in a cup with the mermaid trade mark – but who needs a high-street branch every 100 metres? It doesn't make business sense. Just for fun, I checked out the number of Greggs outlets in the Norfolk and Suffolk market towns I yomped around as a cub reporter for the Eastern Daily Press using the company's website. King's Lynn, a town with a population of a shade under 50,000 people, has three Greggs, the closest pair of which are separated by a mere 240 metres. Over the border in Suffolk, Lowestoft (population 71,000) boasts the same number. So, funnily enough, does Thetford, with a population of just over 25,000. Lowestoft must be feeling short-changed on a per head of population basis. All that extra space helped Greggs break the £2bn revenue barrier last year. But the company has slowed down markedly in terms of sales growth, falling from 52 per cent in 2021 to 11 per cent last year. And even that comes with a caveat. Same-store sales, which strips out the impact of new openings and closures with the aim of assessing the performance of the underlying business, increased by just 5.5 per cent. However, the company admitted its sales growth declined to an almost pedestrian 2.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2024 in company managed stores, and to just 1.7 per cent in the first nine weeks of 2025. Could the board spell 'saturation' for me? Scepticism about where Greggs goes from here is reflected in the shares, which have found themselves on an end-of-day discount. Over the last 12 months, the company, which holds a place in the second tier FTSE 250 index, has shed roughly £1.2bn of value on the London Stock Exchange. An investment of £100 a year ago would today be worth £57. If you had invested that same £100 in the FTSE 100, it would be worth nearly £110, both excluding dividends. I'm not knocking the brand, which remains much-loved. The first thing I had after a road accident led to me suffering through more than three months of hospital food was a Gregg's sausage roll. Perhaps not unconnected, I am also currently researching a new book, a history of the sausage. But Greggs is about far more than its iconic pastry-wrapped product. It has proved itself to be a nimble business, capable of updating its concept on the fly. It was once a pure bakery, selling freshly baked bread and the like. It looks very different today, with that focus on takeout and a healthier product line-up to suit modern tastes, not to mention the political climate. The vegan version of those sausage rolls have proven a huge hit. All very well, but if the group hasn't reached saturation point, it can't be far from it. Which begs the question: after, I don't know, opening a fourth branch in Lowestoft, isn't it time to look at the export market? You can understand why the board might feel a little twitchy about that. A brief foray into Belgium was less than successful, with the group ultimately pulling the plug on the loss-making venture. British retailers have a long and unhappy history of trying – and failing – overseas. Even Tesco, which has the largest market share among UK supermarkets, taking one in every four pound from grocery shoppers, has retreated from international markets to focus on the UK and Ireland. But more recently, there have been some notable exceptions. The 'undisputed king of trainers', JD, is now in 50 countries, using a mix of directly owned stores, franchises and joint ventures, including nearly 300 US branches. Primark and Sports Direct have also taken their concepts abroad. True, Greggs is a particularly British brand, catering to British tastes, much more so than those other three selling pricey trainers, cheap clothes and discount sports gear. But perhaps the bigger issue for it is whether its backers are willing to let it try. UK investors have proved reluctant to fund the sort of overseas expansion their American counterparts have happily poured money into. They've much preferred safe, steady but decidedly dull dividend payers. This reluctance holds back the UK market, and has young companies with their eyes on growth running for Wall Street, where shareholders are much more willing to roll the dice, and have been rewarded for doing so. If Greggs is guilty of myopia – and it's easy to make the case with three branches in Thetford – it's hardly alone.

DynaRisk raises $4.7m to shape the future of cyber insurance
London-based cyber risk management firm DynaRisk has today announced a $4.7million funding round led by YFM Equity Partners (YFM) to accelerate product innovation and fuel international expansion. 0 DynaRisk was founded in 2016 by ex-banking cybersecurity specialist - and self-taught hacker - Andrew Martin, who recognised that the insurance industry needed more tools and data to help them tap the fast growing cyber insurance and cyber assistance market. The market lacked simplified and accessible cybersecurity solutions backed by advanced threat intelligence for individuals, families and SMEs. As demand for cyber insurance and digital risk mitigation intensifies, this round of funding will help DynaRisk expand its operations across EMEA, North America and Asia-Pacific, scaling its commercial and technical operations. Commenting on the investment, Andrew Martin, CEO of DynaRisk, said: 'Brokers, MGAs and (re)insurers are rushing to tap the fast growing cyber insurance market as cyber risk is now one of the most pressing challenges for consumers and SMEs globally. While working with global banks, I saw how larger corporations were using expensive and complex enterprise-level software and services and wanted to put these in the hands of more people. 'DynaRisk bridges that gap for the insurance sector, helping them protect their policyholders with industry-leading threat intelligence backed risk management and underwriting software, along with cyber incident response services. YFM quickly understood our vision and their support will be critical as we scale globally and continue to evolve our platform to meet growing demand.' Meanwhile, the business has appointed to its board serial entrepreneur Phil Zeidler, who has a proven track record in setting up and running successful InsurTech businesses. Today, DynaRisk works with (re)insurers, brokers and MGAs to help them empower individuals and businesses with the tools they need to protect themselves online, with a suite of threat intelligence driven SaaS products, portfolio-level monitoring and helpline services. It does this by embedding its cyber risk solutions into insurance offerings, with its software providing vulnerability scanning, dark web monitoring, cybersecurity scores, training and education, and tailored remediation guidance. DynaRisk's solutions allow brokers, underwriters and claims teams to grow premiums, enrich underwriting, boost policyholder engagement, and help reduce claims and loss ratios by helping to prevent cyber-attacks. Matt Gordon-Smith, Investment Director at YFM Equity Partners, added: 'DynaRisk has built impressive platforms and a client base in one of the fastest-growing segments of the insurance market. With cyber threats escalating and insurers and brokers under pressure to add more value to their policyholders, DynaRisk's embedded intelligence platforms and services are ideally positioned. We are delighted to back Andrew and his team as they grow their international footprint and continue to lead innovation in cyber risk management.' DynaRisk currently supports more than 25 insurance customers worldwide, covering approximately 2.4 million consumers and 800,000 SMEs. Recent client wins include Beazley's Turnkey Reinsurance team, Arthur J. Gallagher, REEOIC and SCOR, who join existing insurance firms including Chubb, SPB UK & Ireland, Aspire Insurance Advisers, Ridge Canada and BOXX Insurance Inc., reflecting the rising demand for scalable cyber risk solutions as embedded insurance grows globally. The YFM deal team comprised Matt Gordon-Smith, Alex Neale and David Wrench. YFM Advisers on the deal included Broadfield Law (Legal), HMT (Financial), RPL (Commercial) Leckie Kershaw (Technology), Fortius (GTM) and Catalysis (Organisational). PwC acted as lead financial advisor to Dynarisk.
