About Sysco Corp

Sysco is a large food distributor that supplies restaurants, healthcare facilities, schools, hotels and other institutions in the United States and several other countries. It buys food and related products from many suppliers, stores them in warehouses, and delivers them with its own truck fleet. Revenue comes from product sales and the margin it keeps after purchase and delivery costs, which is typically thin relative to sales.

The X-Ray Score for Sysco Corp is 60 out of 100. Revenue over the last twelve months was $84.6 billion, and it expanded at 3.5% a year across three years. The business shows an operating margin of 3.7% and a return on invested capital of 15%. Leverage, measured as net debt to EBITDA, is 3.2 times. A dividend is paid, with a yield of 2.6%.

Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies that hold large long-term investments). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.

Fair value estimate

$103middle half of models $91 – $107

Undervalued +22.9% to fair value

Average of the 14 valuation models that pass our checks: multiples, discounted cash flow, dividend discount and earnings power value. A model more than 100% above or 60% below the price is left out as unrealistic. Model uncertainty is Medium, based on how far apart the models are. Undervalued or Overvalued means the gap to fair value is more than 17.5%.

What this means

Average business at a low price

Our models put fair value above today's price, but models can be wrong, so check the business first. A high score does not guarantee a good outcome; it shifts the odds a little. Use the checklist as a prompt for your own research.

Green means better than the peer median, red worse (only where a higher or lower figure is clearly better). A dash means too few companies report the figure. P/E, EV/EBITDA and price changes are not graded: a different level is not good or bad by itself.
