Sysco Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Sysco is benefiting from improved food-away-from-home trends. The company’s focus on the Recipe for Growth plan also bodes well. This plan involves five strategic pillars that include enhancing customers’ experiences via digital tools. In this regard, the company’s Sysco Shop platform and the new pricing software are working well. Further, the company is focused on improving the supply chain to cater to customers efficiently and consistently with better delivery and omnichannel inventory management. Next, SYY aims at providing customer-oriented merchandising and marketing solutions to augment sales. The company also targets having team-based selling, with an emphasis on important cuisines. Finally, Sysco is focused on cultivating new capacities, channels and segments alongside sponsoring investments via cost-saving initiatives.
These upsides are likely to have aided the company in the quarter under review. Also, prudent buyouts have been working well for the company. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the company acquired Greco and Sons, which is likely to have contributed to Sysco’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
That said, the company has been encountering product cost inflation in the U.S. Foodservice unit for a while now. On its first-quarter earnings call, SYY stated that it was operating in a highly inflationary landscape. In the first quarter, the company’s gross margin was hurt by a high inflation rate, which escalated to nearly 13%. Management stated that it expects inflation to continue at a similar rate in the second quarter.
Additionally, during the first quarter, Sysco spent nearly $81 million as a snapback investment and transformation costs. Management, on its conference call, said that for the second quarter, it expects heavy snapback and transformation investments and expects these to be at least as much as the first-quarter level.
