Joel Grade, Chief Financial Officer of Sysco, has this to say about the SYY stock earnings report.
“Our second quarter fiscal 2020 results were driven by improved local case growth in our U.S. Foodservice segment, particularly within our independent customers. While our adjusted earnings per share were in-line with expectations for the quarter, our operating income results fell short.”
The Sysco earnings report doesn’t make mention of an outlook. Even so, we know what Wall Street is looking for. That includes an adjusted EPS of $3.82 on revenue of $61.44 billion for the full year of fiscal 2020.
