Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Sysco Corporation stock:

• 1. Wells Fargo & Company analysts commented, "We believe the exit of low-margin chain & national customers is the primary driver, as these customers have now declined for three straight quarters. 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)
• 2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We estimate that the addback of accelerated depreciation for the project has accounted for around 30% of the adj. operating income growth YTD. Even without further benefits from the SAP write-off, Sysco is two-thirds of the way towards achieving its FY18 objective of $600-$650 million in adj. operating income growth. If Sysco is able to generate a similar level of growth in profitability next year as FY17, then it should be comfortably on track to deliver around $640 million of adj." (8/13/2017)
• 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Despite declining shares over the past one year due to macroeconomic headwinds, the drop is narrower than the industry owing to its strong fundamentals. The company’s growth is supported by a wide portfolio of brands across a wide array of business segments. Solid growth in key categories such as beef, pork and poultry alongside of cost reduction initiatives have benefitted the company as evident from its positive gross margins in the last eight consecutive quarters. Sysco’s strategic acquisitions, especially London-based Brakes acquisition have aided the growth of its distribution network and customer base and drove long-term growth. However, the company remains concerned about the deflationary trend that is likely to continue in fiscal 2017, along with stiff competition and promotional environment. Nevertheless, estimates have remained stable since the past thirty days, ahead of its fourth quarter results." (7/21/2017)
• 4. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "DRI posted F4Q17 (May) pro forma EPS of $1.18, above the $1.15 consensus, but below our $1.19 estimate. Excluding the Cheddar’s acquisition, DRI’s blended comp of +3.3% beat our +2.5% estimate and the +2.4% Street mean. This was led by comps of +4.4% at Olive Garden and +3.5% at LongHorn." (6/27/2017)
