Barclays raises Sysco stock price target to $82 on improved case growth

Investing.com - Barclays (LON:BARC) has raised its price target on Sysco (NYSE:SYY), a $38 billion market cap food distribution giant with $80.8 billion in annual revenue, to $82.00 from $77.00 while maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears slightly undervalued at its current price of $78.38.

The price target increase follows Sysco’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results, which showed U.S. local case growth and earnings per share that exceeded Street expectations, reversing previous year-to-date trends. InvestingPro data shows the company trades at a P/E ratio of 19.9x while offering a 2.76% dividend yield.

According to Barclays, June was the strongest month of the fourth quarter, with momentum continuing into July, accompanied by an increase in market share for the company.

Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, Sysco has provided initial guidance projecting sales growth in line with Street expectations and the company’s long-term algorithm.

The firm noted that while Sysco’s sales outlook appears solid, its earnings per share guidance falls short of expectations.
