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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Sysco reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2017 results, wherein both earnings and revenues exceeded expectations. Moreover, Sysco’s shares have been outperforming the industry over the last one year. Earnings rose 12.5% in the quarter. Growth in sales, expense management, and improved gross and operating margin led to the upside. The acquisition of London-based Brakes Group led to an increase of 5.7% of sales on a year-over-year basis. We note that the company’s sales have improved consistently driven by acquisitions and volume growth. Sysco’s efforts to boost sales and margins are paying up, as the company has delivered positive gross margins in the last nine quarters, after declining consistently since past several quarters. However, stiff competition remains a concern." (8/16/2017)
• 2. 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)
• 3. 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)
• 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)
