Rhea AI SYY FY2026 2026-10-04

Sysco operates on thin margins, converts profit into cash, and finances substantial assets with debt while deleveraging unevenly.

FY2026 operating cash flow was $2.6B versus net income of $1.8B, so reported profit converted into more cash than it recognized. After $700M of capital spending, free cash flow still reached $1.9B; the business funds reinvestment internally, but cash generation remains modest relative to its debt load.

Gross margin held at 18.5% in FY2026, slightly above FY2025, but operating margin slipped to 3.7%. That divergence indicates added gross dollars were absorbed by operating costs, so scale did not fully translate into operating profit.

Debt-to-equity declined to 4.6x from 6.8x in FY2025 as equity rebuilt, improving the balance-sheet structure without eliminating leverage. The current ratio rose to 1.3x while financing cash flow was negative -$1.2B, reflecting continued shareholder distributions and repurchases.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Sysco Corporation's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Sysco Corporation has an operating margin of 3.7%, meaning the company retains $4 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 62/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 3.8% the prior year.

Growth

Sysco Corporation's revenue grew a modest 3.9% year-over-year to $84.6B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 51/100.

Leverage

Sysco Corporation has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 4.62), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 25/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Sysco Corporation's current ratio of 1.28 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 32/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

Sysco Corporation has a free cash flow margin of 2.3%, earning a moderate score of 34/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Sysco Corporation earns a strong 65.9% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $66 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 89/100. This is down from 99.9% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.50x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Sysco Corporation generates $1.50 in operating cash flow ($2.6B OCF vs $1.8B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

4.32x

Sysco Corporation earns $4.32 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($3.1B vs $717.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
