Rhea AI UNFI FY2026 2026-10-04

United Natural Foods earns its recovery through expense and balance-sheet changes, not materially higher sales or wider gross margins.

After revenue slipped in FY2026, gross margin held near 13%, yet operating margin recovered to 0.7%; this points to expense normalization or operating-cost control, not a richer product mix. Net margin also moved back above zero, so the recovery reaches the bottom line but remains thin.

FY2026 operating cash flow of $540M was over six times net income of $84M, showing earnings were not the main source of cash strength. Inventory and receivables both declined, consistent with cash released from working capital; after $217M of capital spending, $323M of free cash flow remained.

Debt-to-equity fell to 1.0x while total liabilities declined to $5.5B, showing the improvement included deleveraging rather than only an earnings rebound. Yet the current ratio eased to 1.3x from 1.4x, meaning short-term balance-sheet flexibility narrowed even as longer-term leverage improved.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of United Natural Foods Inc'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

United Natural Foods Inc has an operating margin of 0.7%, meaning the company retains $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 37/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from -0.1% the prior year.

Growth

United Natural Foods Inc's revenue declined 2.0% year-over-year, from $31.8B to $31.2B. This contraction results in a growth score of 32/100.

Leverage

United Natural Foods Inc has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 0.96), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 22/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

United Natural Foods Inc's current ratio of 1.29 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 33/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

United Natural Foods Inc's free cash flow margin of 1.0% results in a low score of 27/100. Capital expenditures of $217.0M absorb a large share of operating cash flow.

Returns

United Natural Foods Inc's ROE of 5.2% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 36/100. This is up from -7.6% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

5.11

United Natural Foods Inc scores 5.11, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Strong

8/9

United Natural Foods Inc passes 8 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

6.43x

For every $1 of reported earnings, United Natural Foods Inc generates $6.43 in operating cash flow ($540.0M OCF vs $84.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

1.67x

United Natural Foods Inc earns $1.67 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($211.0M vs $126.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
