Why Sysco Corporation Stock Dropped Today
Key Points Sysco beat on sales and beat on earnings -- but missed on guidance this morning. Earnings declined in Q4 and for all of 2025, but might grow again in 2026. Sysco's forecast for 2026 growth isn't as much as Wall Street was looking for. 10 stocks we like better than Sysco › Shares of Sysco Corporation (NYSE: SYY), the gigantic food services supplier, slipped 2.5% through 2:12 p.m. ET Tuesday despite "beating earnings" on top and bottom lines this morning. Analysts forecast Sysco would earn $1.39 per share on $21 billion in sales for its fiscal Q4 2025. Instead, Sysco earned $1.48 per share on $21.1 billion. Sysco Q4 earnings Sysco grew sales 3% year over year -- that's the good news. The bad news is that profit margins on those sales declined due to a goodwill impairment charge, cutting earnings by 13% in comparison to last year. Share buybacks helped mitigate the decline in earnings per share, but EPS still declined 11%, to $1.10 per share. For the full fiscal year, sales also increased 3%, with net income falling 6% and earnings per share down 4% at $3.73. So while sales growth was pretty steady all year long, earnings took a turn for the worse in the year's final quarter. Is Sysco stock a sell? Sysco CEO Kevin Hourican said the company will keep on growing sales at at least 3% in fiscal 2026 -- and perhaps as much as 5%. Sales could reach $84 billion or $85 billion. Earnings won't grow quite as fast, but at least they will grow. Hourican is expecting 1% to 3% earnings improvement to somewhere between $4.50 and $4.60 per share. That's less than the $4.70 per share that Wall Street was looking for. It probably pushes the stock's valuation up from just under 17 times earnings, to just over. With a 2.7% dividend yield, I'd want to see the company growing earnings in at least the midteens before buying. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Sysco's going to manage that. At least not this year. Should you buy stock in Sysco right now?

Sysco Cites Consumer Woes for Outlook That's Below Long-Term Target
Consumers are cutting back on restaurant spending as they cope with economic uncertainties, causing Sysco Corp. to forecast annual sales at the lower end of its target range, Chief Executive Officer Kevin Hourican said in an interview. The Houston-based food distributor expects sales growth of about 3% to 5% in fiscal 2026, less than the three-year sales growth target of 4% to 6% it gave last year.

Sysco beats Q4 earnings, but shares fall on weak volume growth
-- Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY) reported better-than-expected fourth quarter results on Tuesday, with adjusted earnings per share exceeding analyst estimates, though shares fell 3.4% as investors focused on declining foodservice volumes. The food distribution giant posted adjusted earnings of $1.48 per share for its fiscal fourth quarter, surpassing the analyst consensus of $1.39. Revenue increased 2.8% to $21.1 billion, slightly above analysts' expectations of $21 billion. Despite the earnings beat, U.S. Foodservice volume decreased 0.3% YoY, with local case volume down 1.5%, signaling continued challenges in restaurant traffic. "Sysco's Q4 results exceeded expectations, as improved financial outcomes were driven by Sysco-specific initiatives and improved restaurant industry traffic," said Kevin Hourican, Sysco's Chair and CEO. "USFS local volumes improved sequentially by 200 bps, including a strong exit rate in June." Gross profit for the quarter rose 3.9% to $4 billion, with gross margin expanding 19 basis points to 18.9%. Adjusted operating income increased 1.1% to $1.1 billion, while adjusted EBITDA grew 1.8% to $1.3 billion. For fiscal year 2026, Sysco provided guidance of approximately $84 billion to $85 billion in revenue, representing growth of 3% to 5%, and adjusted EPS of $4.50 to $4.60, an increase of 1% to 3%. The company noted its outlook includes an approximate $100 million ($0.16 per share) headwind from lapping lower incentive compensation in fiscal 2025. "Excluding this impact, our outlook reflects EPS growth of approximately 5% to 7%, with the midpoint in-line with our long-term algorithm," said Kenny Cheung, Sysco's CFO. "We also plan to reward our shareholders with approximately $1 billion in dividends and approximately $1 billion in share repurchases for FY26."

Other than EBITDA and free cash flow, any non-GAAP financial measures will be denoted as adjusted measures to remove (1) restructuring charges; (2) expenses associated with our various transformation initiatives; (3) severance charges; and (4) acquisition-related costs consisting of: (a) intangible amortization expense and (b) acquisition costs and due diligence costs related to our acquisitions. Adjustments provided herein for fiscal 2025 results of operations also remove the impact of a goodwill impairment charge. No similar charge was applicable in fiscal 2024. The results of our operations can be impacted due to changes in exchange rates applicable in converting local currencies to U.S. dollars. We measure our results on a constant currency basis. Constant currency operating results are calculated by translating current-period local currency operating results with the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period. We also measure our sales growth excluding the impact of our joint venture in Mexico which was divested in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Management believes that adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove these Certain Items, presenting its results on a constant currency basis, and adjusting its sales results to exclude the impact of its joint venture in Mexico provides an important perspective with respect to our underlying business trends and results. It provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that (1) is indicative of the performance of the company's underlying operations and (2) facilitates comparisons on a year-over-year basis. Sysco has a history of growth through acquisitions and excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures the impact of acquisition-related intangible amortization, acquisition costs and due diligence costs for those acquisitions. We believe this approach significantly enhances the comparability of Sysco's results for fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2024. Set forth on the following page is a reconciliation of sales, operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to adjusted results for these measures for the periods presented.

Sysco Corporation and its Consolidated SubsidiariesNon-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)Free Cash Flow(In Millions) Free cash flow represents net cash provided from operating activities less purchases of plant and equipment and includes proceeds from sales of plant and equipment. Sysco considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases and sales of buildings, fleet, equipment and technology, which may potentially be used to pay for, among other things, strategic uses of cash including dividend payments, share repurchases and acquisitions. However, free cash flow may not be available for discretionary expenditures, as it may be necessary that we use it to make mandatory debt service or other payments. Free cash flow should not be used as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure in assessing the company's liquidity for the periods presented. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. In the table that follows, free cash flow for each period presented is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities. 52-Week Period Ended Jun. 28, 2025 52-Week Period Ended Jun. 29, 2024 52-Week Period Change in Dollars Net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) $ 2,510 $ 2,989 $ (479 ) Additions to plant and equipment (906 ) (832 ) (74 ) Proceeds from sales of plant and equipment 214 79 135 Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP) $ 1,818 $ 2,236 $ (418 ) Sysco Corporation and its Consolidated SubsidiariesNon-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)Impact of Certain Items on Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)(Dollars in Millions) EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) plus (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense and benefit, (iii) depreciation and (iv) amortization. The net earnings (loss) component of our EBITDA calculation is impacted by Certain Items that we do not consider representative of our underlying performance. As a result, in the non-GAAP reconciliations below for each period presented, adjusted EBITDA is computed as EBITDA plus the impact of Certain Items, excluding certain items related to interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Sysco's management considers growth in this metric to be a measure of overall financial performance that provides useful information to management and investors about the profitability of the business, as it facilitates comparison of performance on a consistent basis from period to period by providing a measurement of recurring factors and trends affecting our business. Additionally, it is a commonly used component metric used to inform on capital structure decisions. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure in assessing the company's financial performance for the periods presented.

Projected Adjusted EPS Guidance Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure; however, we cannot predict with certainty certain items that would be included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the relevant future periods. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation of projected adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort. However, we expect to calculate adjusted earnings per share for future periods in the same manner as the reconciliations provided for the historical periods herein.
