Food Distribution Stocks
Food Distribution: Sysco Corporation owns the largest revenue base; Performance Food Group Company has the fastest current growth.
How has Food Distribution moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 67% 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 10 weeks running.
RS ↑10w · 7/8 >200d (−1) · 4/8 lead (+2) · EPS 5/8↑
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.
Is Food Distribution outperforming S&P 500?
Food Distribution has outperformed S&P 500 by 20.2% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 3.7%. 5 of 8 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +29.6%.
Sector metric: — as of latest available · unclassified · direction unavailable.
The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Food Distribution has outperformed S&P 500 by 20.2% over 52 weeks and 3.7% over 13 weeks. 5 of 8 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 2 of 8 beat the sector itself. Sysco Corporation leads with revenue of $83,567 million, based on 7 of 8 comparable companies through Mar 2026.
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.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
The Andersons, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Food Distribution at +96.3%. The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +40.8%. 5 of 8 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Food Distribution itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.
Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Sysco Corporation has the highest Revenue among the 8 Food Distribution companies compared here, at $83,567 million. Performance Food Group Company is next at $66,750 million. Performance Food Group Company has the highest Revenue growth at 8.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 7 of 8 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Sysco Corporation is the scale leader at $83,567 million, 25.2% ahead of Performance Food Group Company. Performance Food Group Company's growth is 8.4% from a $66,750 million base, with 18 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: Sysco Corporation is the scale benchmark; Performance Food Group Company is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Sysco Corporation's growth falls below Performance Food Group Company's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
On every company-comparison chart on this page: solid lines show level, dotted lines show change when “Both” is selected, and a missing report breaks the line rather than being invented.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
G. Willi-Food International Ltd. has the lowest PEG among the 8 Food Distribution companies compared here, at 0.48×. US Foods Holding Corp. is next at 0.84×. The same company also holds the lowest P/E, at 12.3×. 3 of 8 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026. Its PEG series carries 4 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.
What the numbers say: G. Willi-Food International Ltd. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.48×, 42.9% below US Foods Holding Corp.. Only 3 of 8 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

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.
How was this comparison built?
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 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
Food Distribution company comparison FAQs
These 22 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 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Food Distribution sector outperforming S&P 500?
Food Distribution has outperformed S&P 500 by 20.2% over 52 weeks and 3.7% over 13 weeks. 5 of 8 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 2 of 8 beat the sector itself.
Which Food Distribution company is largest by revenue?
Sysco Corporation leads with revenue of $83,567 million, based on 7 of 8 comparable companies through Mar 2026.
Which Food Distribution company is growing fastest?
Performance Food Group Company has the fastest current revenue growth at 8.4%, across 7 of 8 comparable companies.
Which Food Distribution company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. ranks first at 67.4/100 with 57.8% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Food Distribution company has the lowest comparable PEG?
G. Willi-Food International Ltd. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.48, among 3 of 8 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Food Distribution comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
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 7 of 8 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
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 7 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?
The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 3.9%, 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 PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — G. Willi-Food International Ltd. screens cheapest at 0.48×. Only 3 of 8 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, 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.
Is the Food Distribution sector beating the market?
Food Distribution has outperformed S&P 500 by 20.2% over the last 52 weeks and 3.7% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 5 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.
Which Food Distribution company scores highest for research priority?
The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. scores 67.4 out of 100 with 57.8% evidence confidence, from 22.5 points on growth and earnings, 16 on capital efficiency, 8.9 on valuation and 20 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Food Distribution companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
