Description: SYY Sysco January 28, 2026
Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY) is the largest global distributor of food and related products to the food-away-from-home market, serving restaurants, hospitals, schools, hotels and industrial caterers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and other international locations. Its portfolio spans frozen, fresh, and dry foods-including meat, seafood, produce, dairy and beverages-as well as non-food supplies such as paper disposables, cookware, tableware and cleaning chemicals, organized into four operating segments: U.S. Foodservice, International Foodservice, SYGMA (food-service solutions) and “Other.”
According to Sysco’s FY 2023 Form 10-K, the company generated $56.1 billion in revenue, a 2.3 % YoY increase, with adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 billion (≈5.5 % margin) and net income of $1.0 billion. Same-store sales in the U.S. foodservice segment rose 4.5 % in Q4 2023, driven largely by modest price-inflation pass-through and a rebound in institutional dining after pandemic restrictions. As of Q3 2024, Sysco’s cash conversion cycle shortened to 45 days, reflecting improved inventory turnover and tighter receivables management (source: Bloomberg Markets).
Key macro drivers for Sysco include the overall health of the U.S. food-service industry-projected by the National Restaurant Association to grow 3.2 % YoY in 2024-and persistent inflationary pressure on food and labor costs, which remain above the Fed’s target (CPI food index ≈5 % in the latest release). Additionally, supply-chain resilience and the shift toward locally sourced, sustainable ingredients are reshaping product mix and pricing power for large distributors. These factors create a mixed outlook: upside from volume recovery but downside risk from cost-inflation squeezes.
