The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 57% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 9% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 9 weeks running.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 8 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
G. Willi-Food International Ltd. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc.'s growth is 10% from a $4,258 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window.

Capacity base is net fixed assets plus capital work in progress, straight off the reported balance sheet. It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Food Distribution comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 8 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 8 companies in the canonical Food Distribution membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 8 Food Distribution companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
These 18 answers restate the Food Distribution comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 8 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Food Distribution company is the biggest?
Sysco Corporation is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $83,567 million, ahead of Performance Food Group Company at $66,750 million. That covers 8 of 8 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Food Distribution company is growing fastest?
The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 10% year on year, across 8 of 8 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Food Distribution company has the best profit margins?
G. Willi-Food International Ltd. has the highest operating margin at 12.8%, from 8 of 8 comparable companies. The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +0.7 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Food Distribution company makes the most profit?
Sysco Corporation earns the most, at $1,736 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 8 of 8 comparable companies. US Foods Holding Corp. has the fastest profit growth at 28.5%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Food Distribution company earns the highest return on capital?
Sysco Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 3.6%, across 8 of 8 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Food Distribution stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — G. Willi-Food International Ltd. screens cheapest at 0.48×. Only 4 of 8 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Food Distribution company has the strongest balance sheet?
G. Willi-Food International Ltd. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $8 million, from 8 of 8 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Food Distribution company is investing most in new capacity?
Sysco Corporation reports the largest capital spending at $161 million, across 8 of 8 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Food Distribution sector beating the market?
Food Distribution has outperformed S&P 500 by 21.1% over the last 52 weeks and 4.9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 6 of 8 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Food Distribution stock has the strongest price momentum?
The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
