Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Consumer Staples is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Reach high end of EPS guidance $4.60 for fiscal 2026: Direct metric needs a verified mapping.
View ThesisRevenue is growing steadily — about 4% over the past year.
View GrowthMiddle-of-the-pack quality for its industry.
View QualityManagement screens strong on capital allocation, earnings delivery, margins, market reaction to earnings.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 16% growth a year, above the roughly 5% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskSysco’s thesis rests on steady food-distribution performance, with fourth-quarter revenue growth at 4.7%. The latest fiscal quarter beat earnings expectations, supporting that case. SYY trades at 18× P/E versus a 16× peer median. The market prices in more growth than our forecast. Weak cash backing for reported profits and unsteady management threaten the case. A next-quarter miss probability of 21% adds risk. Peer multiples imply a price about 16% below where it trades. The thesis is on watch; this read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. SYY is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
