Sysco - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts.

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

They were last updated on Friday, December 13, 2024. Please send any questions or comments about these Sysco pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Sysco
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Sysco Co.:

Sysco Co. has shown strong revenue growth, reporting $20.48 billion in revenue for the latest quarter, which exceeded analysts' expectations of $20.47 billion. This indicates robust demand and operational efficiency.
The company has a solid market capitalization of $39.66 billion, which reflects its stability and potential for growth in the food distribution sector.
Sysco Co. has a favorable P/E ratio of 20.75, suggesting that the stock may be reasonably valued compared to its earnings, making it an attractive option for investors looking for growth.
Recent investments from large institutional investors, such as Parallax Volatility Advisers L.P. purchasing $2.16 million worth of shares, indicate confidence in the company's future performance.
As of the latest trading session, Sysco Co. shares are priced at $80.73, which is near its 52-week high of $82.89, suggesting strong market interest and potential for further appreciation.

Sysco
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Sysco Co. for these reasons:

Sysco Co. reported an EPS of $1.09 for the latest quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $1.13 by $0.04, which may raise concerns about its earnings performance.
The company has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 5.38, indicating that it relies heavily on debt financing, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment.
Insider selling has been observed, with insiders selling 35,279 shares worth approximately $2.79 million in the last three months, which could signal a lack of confidence in the company's short-term prospects.
Analysts have mixed ratings, with some lowering their price targets, which may indicate uncertainty about the stock's future performance.
The current ratio of 1.26, while above 1, suggests that the company has just enough short-term assets to cover its liabilities, which may not provide a strong buffer in times of financial stress.
