Analyst Ratings

Expert Outlook: Sysco Through The Eyes Of 8 Analysts

Barclays analyst Jeffrey Bernstein maintains Sysco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $85 to $87.

Price Target

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Sysco, Raises Price Target to $87

BofA Securities analyst Sara Senatore provides an analysis for restaurant sector performance in the first <a href="https://trello.com/c/f3PFGoRF/331021-restaurants-q1-previewbofa">quarter</a>.
Restaurant demand showed mixed results due to weather and a calendar shift, said the analyst. 
Black Box industry data revealed a deceleration in same-store sales growth (SSSG) across all segments from January to February, but March saw improvement, excluding Fine Dining. 
Restaurant spending growth improved in March, with chain spending recovering from -7.5% in February to -3.5%.
Independent restaurants saw a rise in spending, from -2.7% in February to +1.3%. The rebound was attributed to better weather and the impact of the calendar shift in February. 
In the first quarter, prices for soybeans, wheat and soybean oil continued to deflate, though at a slower rate than in the fourth quarter of FY24.

Coffee prices surged, increasing by 96.8% year-over-year, up from 56.8% in the fourth quarter. Beef inflation rose to 5.5%, compared to 1.3% in the previous quarter.
Cheese prices decreased by 1.8%, while dairy inflation slowed to 1.3%. Futures markets predict deflation in several commodities in the second quarter of 2025, but coffee, natural gas and beef are expected to see inflation, noted the analyst.
Restaurants index in the S&amp;P 500 is trading at 1.2x forward EPS, below its 5-year, 10-year and 15-year averages of 1.4x.
Industry data indicates a demand recovery in March after weak months in January and February. While consensus expectations for restaurants remain high, first-quarter results may fall short of estimates. 
Investors are focused on April trends and the potential impact of tariffs on consumer sentiment, traffic and COGS inflation.

Shares of consumer staple companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Trading in Sysco Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>) is quiet on Thursday. This comes after yesterday's rally of more than 3%. There was no specific news related to the company. The price action was driven by technicals.
There is a good chance that the rally soon gets back in gear. This is why our technical analysis team has made it our Stock of the Day.
In the long term, Sysco may be facing some headwinds. Concerns over tariffs and inflation have caused consumer confidence to drop significantly. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44498527/copper-hits-a-new-high-consumer-confidence-at-four-year-low-market-mechanics-control-stock-marke">The consumer confidence index fell to a four-year low</a> in March and future expectations are the lowest in 12 years.
This may impact Sysco because it is in the food service or food-away-from-home industry.  Dining out is one of the first things people will cut back on in tough times and restaurants are one of Sysco's main customers.
In the short run, the shares may continue to move higher.

You can see on the chart that Sysco reversed off of support around $70.00 yesterday. This level was also supported in February. Stocks rallying after reaching a support level is common in the stock market. It is a result of buyer anxiety.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="578" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/27110301/Sysco-1024x578.png" alt="" class="wp-image-845182" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/27110301/Sysco-1024x578.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/27110301/Sysco-300x169.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/27110301/Sysco-768x433.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/27110301/Sysco.png 1443w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Support is a large concentration of traders and investors looking to buy shares at or close to the same price. Sometimes, when a stock gets close to a support level, some of the people who created the support with their buy orders become anxious.
They are worried that others will outbid them. They know that the sellers will go to the buyer who is willing to pay the highest price, so these anxious buyers increase their prices.
Other anxious buyers see this and decide to increase their bid prices as well. This can result in a bidding war that ends up forcing the price higher.
The uptrend in Sysco may continue.

The Analyst Verdict: Sysco In The Eyes Of 8 Experts

JP Morgan analyst John Ivankoe maintains Sysco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $86 to $82.

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on Sysco, Lowers Price Target to $82

Truist Securities analyst Jake Bartlett reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of Sysco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>) and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SYY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowered the price forecast from&nbsp;$85&nbsp;to&nbsp;$83.</a>
For the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA of $969 million fell slightly short of the analyst&#8217;s estimate of $975 million and the consensus of $973 million, primarily due to operating costs, despite gains <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43267885/sysco-posts-q2-earnings-above-street-view-as-operating-income-improves" rel="noreferrer noopener">from a sale-leaseback arrangement.</a>
Total sales of $20.151 billion were close to the analyst&#8217;s estimate of $20.218 billion and the consensus of $20.097 billion and EPS of $0.93 exceeded both the analyst&#8217;s estimate and consensus of $0.92, driven by a lower-than-expected adjusted tax rate.
For the second quarter, US Foodservice (USFS) case growth slowed to 1.4%, down from 2.7% in the first quarter.
Although restaurant traffic improved by approximately 200 basis points, the company faced more challenging comparisons and was impacted by weather conditions, particularly in the Southeast, Florida, and Texas, said the analyst.
Looking ahead, the analyst expects USFS case growth to pick up due to macro tailwinds, improved sales team stability after changes to compensation structures, and a stronger sales force.
The analyst remains optimistic that SYY&#8217;s initiatives to boost sales, favorable macro trends, and efforts to expand margins will drive accelerated EBITDA growth and enhance its multiple.
However, the company&#8217;s relatively weak independent case growth, particularly compared to restaurant traffic trends, cautions the analyst and limits expectations for a significant upside in the stock.
Guggenheim analyst John Heinbockel reiterated a Buy rating on the shares with a $85&nbsp;price forecast.
According to the analyst&#8217;s discussions with investors, concerns have been raised about the ongoing weakness in local case growth despite the continued ramp-up of the sales force expansion.
Addressing this challenge is likely the most critical factor influencing the stock&#8217;s performance in the coming quarters. If local case growth turns positive, it could lead to significant upside, but if the efforts fall short, it may result in a reduction of the sales force expansion, opined the analyst.
Since investments in the sales force typically align with local case growth and easier year-ago comparisons are approaching, the analyst anticipates a return to positive growth by the first half of 2026.
Price Action: SYY shares are trading higher by 0.30% at $72.50  at the last check Wednesday.
