The Analyst Verdict: Sysco In The Eyes Of 8 Experts

JP Morgan analyst John Ivankoe maintains Sysco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $86 to $82.

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on Sysco, Lowers Price Target to $82

Truist Securities analyst Jake Bartlett reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of Sysco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>) and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SYY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowered the price forecast from&nbsp;$85&nbsp;to&nbsp;$83.</a>
For the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA of $969 million fell slightly short of the analyst&#8217;s estimate of $975 million and the consensus of $973 million, primarily due to operating costs, despite gains <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43267885/sysco-posts-q2-earnings-above-street-view-as-operating-income-improves" rel="noreferrer noopener">from a sale-leaseback arrangement.</a>
Total sales of $20.151 billion were close to the analyst&#8217;s estimate of $20.218 billion and the consensus of $20.097 billion and EPS of $0.93 exceeded both the analyst&#8217;s estimate and consensus of $0.92, driven by a lower-than-expected adjusted tax rate.
For the second quarter, US Foodservice (USFS) case growth slowed to 1.4%, down from 2.7% in the first quarter.
Although restaurant traffic improved by approximately 200 basis points, the company faced more challenging comparisons and was impacted by weather conditions, particularly in the Southeast, Florida, and Texas, said the analyst.
Looking ahead, the analyst expects USFS case growth to pick up due to macro tailwinds, improved sales team stability after changes to compensation structures, and a stronger sales force.
The analyst remains optimistic that SYY&#8217;s initiatives to boost sales, favorable macro trends, and efforts to expand margins will drive accelerated EBITDA growth and enhance its multiple.
However, the company&#8217;s relatively weak independent case growth, particularly compared to restaurant traffic trends, cautions the analyst and limits expectations for a significant upside in the stock.
Guggenheim analyst John Heinbockel reiterated a Buy rating on the shares with a $85&nbsp;price forecast.
According to the analyst&#8217;s discussions with investors, concerns have been raised about the ongoing weakness in local case growth despite the continued ramp-up of the sales force expansion.
Addressing this challenge is likely the most critical factor influencing the stock&#8217;s performance in the coming quarters. If local case growth turns positive, it could lead to significant upside, but if the efforts fall short, it may result in a reduction of the sales force expansion, opined the analyst.
Since investments in the sales force typically align with local case growth and easier year-ago comparisons are approaching, the analyst anticipates a return to positive growth by the first half of 2026.
Price Action: SYY shares are trading higher by 0.30% at $72.50  at the last check Wednesday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Sysco's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sysco's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Sysco?

BofA Securities analysts Sara Senatore and Katherine Griffin expressed their views on the restaurant industry for the year ahead 2025.
The analysts expect slow but still healthy job growth to support restaurant demand, industry pricing to moderate, and promotional activity to rise as input prices fall.
Notably, the analysts write that the industry growth in 2024 aligned with historical averages—Blackbox industry SSSG was -0.2% compared to the 2013-2019 average of -0.1%, and PCE growth was +4.9% versus the pre-COVID average of +5.1%, according to the analysts.
However, the analysts add that growth patterns were atypical, with fine dining and traditional Quickservice underperforming, while midscale and casual dining performed better.
Senatore and Griffin attribute this shift to a reversion to pre-COVID consumption behaviors and expect more typical industry trends in 2025.
The analysts maintain a Buy rating on Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sbux/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $117</a>.
The analysts remain confident in the brand&#8217;s strength and the potential to reallocate resources to more productive areas.
Also, the analysts reiterated an Underperform rating on Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>), expecting reinvestment needs to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/qsr/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">constrain topline and EPS growth</a>.
Also, the analysts cut the revenue forecasts for QSR, anticipating increased competitive pressures.
On the other hand, Senatore and Griffin lowered the price forecast on Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/dnut/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $14 from $17 prior</a>.
The analysts also lowered the company&#8217;s estimates, reflecting slightly lower topline growth and higher operating expenses in the first half of 2025.
Meanwhile, the analysts maintained a price forecast of $87 for Sysco Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>), and higher EBITDA estimates reflected lower operating expense assumptions.
