This Week's Top Growth & Income Stocks: (SYY) (TATYY)
Read MoreHide Full Article
Today, we’re discussing two stocks from the Consumer Stapes sector. This sector had done pretty well earlier this year, due to its defensive nature and attractive dividend yields. However the sector has struggled over the pact couple months due to valuation concerns, fears of a rate hike and also since investors had started warming up to cyclical sectors.
But now, with the volatility expected to rise as we approach the Election Day and the Fed not expected to stay accommodative, I think this sector may regain investor favor. And the stocks that we’re discussing are not too pricey and have strong growth potential.
They are one of the largest food and supplies distributors in the US, serving restaurants, hospitals and schools.
They reported strong results for the recent quarter with solid growth in volume, revenue as well as earnings.
If you look at the Price, Consensus and EPS surprise chart, you can see the positive momentum. Analysts have been raising their estimates and they’re particularly bullish for 2017 earnings. We also see that the company has a very good record at beating estimates with just 2 misses in last 20 quarters.

Their current dividend yield exceeds 2.5%. The stock is currently ranked “Buy” with a Growth as well as VGM score of A.
