- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Sysco, which surpassed the industry in a year, has been gaining from sturdy U.S. Foodservice Operations. This trend continued in third-quarter fiscal 2018 as well, which marked the company’s fourth straight quarter of earnings beat. In fact, local case volumes in this segment have been improving year over year for 16 consecutive quarters. Further, the company’s performance gained from lower taxes and favorable results in the international segment. Notably, the company is on track with its three-year financial goals to drive efficiency and augment offerings. On the flip side, Sysco continues to bear the brunt of higher inbound freight costs. Moreover, the company’s European business has been grappling with high product inflation and reduced shipping days. This, combined with inflationary trends in U.S Broadline operations and in the U.K., continues to be a threat to Sysco’s performance." (5/9/2018)

We anticipate declines for national accounts to last into Q1, with y/y compares easing in Q2 of FY18 plus new business wins to drive reaccelerating case growth ahead. For FY18, we model +3.7% total sales growth comprised of +1.6% Broadline cases, +1.3% of inflation and local customer share gains (of 2%)." (8/14/2017)
