SYY distributes food through the US, Canada and Europe.  It has invested in new supply chain inventory management systems for its customers allowing margins to expand and strong profit growth.  It trades at 20x earnings and we like that cash reserves continue growing, while debt is reduced and shares bought back.  The dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $71, looking to achieve $92 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 2.4% 

(Analysts’ price target is $87.91)

BUY
Sysco Corp
PEG ratio = price/EPS divided by EPS growth rate. Too high and too low a PEG ratio is not good. A top food supplier to restaurants. Has held up well vs. the index, but has been rangebound in the past year. It's trading under 17x 2023 PE and a PEG ratio of 1.2. Cheap. They can pass food inflation to their customers. Also, diners still want to dine out even as the economy slows. Pays a nearly 2.5% dividend yield. SYS has little competition too.

BUY
Sysco Corp
The market prefers Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) stock as rates rise and tech is unfashionable. The PEG ratio is a key metric. These shares pay big dividends or buyback shares. In January, 10% of their workers tested positive for Covid, but that's the past and we're returning to normal. SYY has taken a lot of market share during Covid. Earnings will double this year, and it trades under 20x PE. Great managers.

The CEO is strong, but the restaurant business will take a header here which is the bad news. Pass.

A fine way to play the restaurant comeback. This food distributors supplies restos, schools and hotels in the US and Ireland. Yesterday's investor day they unveiled plans to grow 50% faster than their industry and a $5 billion share buyback, raising the dividend by 4.4% and announced the key purchase of an Italian food distributor.

A well-run company and it pays a near-3% dividend. But many restaurants, he predicts, will go under as colder weather comes.

PAST TOP PICK
Sysco Corp

(A Top Pick Oct 9/15. Down 2.01%.) At the time he wanted to be a bit more defensive. October to May is really a cyclical time where you want to take on a lot of risk in your portfolio, but he was just not liking the market action, so was being fairly defensive at the time. On this stock, the average gain between Oct 10 to Dec 31 is about 9%, but this hit resistance at about $41.50. During the period of seasonal strength, it ended up with a marginal gain of about 0.12%.

PAST TOP PICK
Sysco Corp

(A Top Pick March 23/15. Down 5.83%.) The premise was that this was in a defensive sector. There are talks of a merger and being taken to court, so there is some negativity around the stock. Just too much going on here.

TOP PICK
Sysco Corp

It is a consumer staples stock and already starting to show positive signs. Normally it does not have seasonal strength until April 23rd, but now is the time to get into it this year. A one to two month hold.

DON'T BUY
Sysco Corp

Consumers’ staples companies tend to be well in the summer. More of a defensive play. Has done well and is holding above its 20 day moving average. The trend is all positive and he can’t say anything negatively about it technically, it’s just that the seasonals are not backing it up.

BUY
Sysco Corp

On a seasonal basis, this has very strong seasonal strength between now and January, so we are just entering the period of seasonal strength. Looks very interesting from both a seasonal and technical point of view.
