What happened

Sysco reported that first-quarter sales rose 2.8% to $21.74 billion, while operating income fell 10.4% to $717 million. Adjusted earnings per share rose 3.5% to $1.19. The company said an outbreak hurt sales and forecast sales growth at the lower end of its range.

Global impact / market context

Higher sales and adjusted earnings offer some support, but lower operating income and sales below estimates point to pressure on results. The outbreak and softer food cost inflation may also limit sales growth. Sysco kept its adjusted earnings and local volume guidance unchanged.

What to watch

  1. Check whether Sysco reports further effects from the outbreak, which it said hurt first-quarter sales.
  2. Check whether sales growth stays near the lower end of its 6% to 7% fiscal 2027 range, as the company projected.
  3. Check whether operating income improves from $717 million, after its 10.4% decline, to see if profit pressure eases.
