Sysco Corp. (SYY - Free Report) markets and distributes a range of food and related products primarily to the foodservice or food-away-from-home industry.
Sysco’s growth strategy remains strong and its efforts to accelerate sales and reduce costs are encouraging. The company also remains positive on the acquisition front. It is encouraging that it has delivered higher gross margins in the past one year, after witnessing declining gross margins since the last two fiscal years, despite deflationary pressure. However, Sysco is witnessing soft sales growth due to the unfavorable impact of food cost deflation. Currency headwinds also remain a concern for Sysco.
Investors should also note the recent earnings estimate revisions for SYY, as the consensus estimate has remained unchanged. However, the earnings surprise history was an impressive one. SYY has delivered positive surprise in all the four quarters; thus delivering an average positive surprise of 11.7%.
