• 2. Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (The) analysts commented, "We reiterate our Buy rating on PFGC and add the shares to the Americas Conviction List, as we have increased confidence in core parts of our investment thesis: independent sales helping drive growth well ahead of restaurant industry volumes and private label/independent sales also driving gross margin accretion. Our EPS estimates fall 3%-11% and our EBITDA estimates fall 2%-3% to reflect F2Q17 earnings results." (3/16/2017)
• 3. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "We are initiating on Performance Food Group with a Sector Perform rating and $24 price target. While PFGC is gaining wholesale share, we expect those gains to slow. Deflation presented an opportunity for unsustainable gross margin expansion at PFGC. We believe others, who have shown a willingness to share in end-market pain, by allowing gross margins to contract, will have the best topline acceleration." (1/24/2017)
