Debt/EBITDA of 3.1× runs +27% above the sector median 2.4× — a meaningful drag on an otherwise steady balance sheet — yet the current ratio of 1.21 sits +45% above the median, so near-term liquidity is not the concern. ROE of 99.1% outpaces the sector median 30.1% by +229%, a figure that partly reflects the elevated debt rather than pure capital efficiency. Valuation is where the picture turns less comfortable: P/B of 22.0× exceeds the sector median 5.5× by +300%, and the F-Score of 6/9 — held back by a zero on the efficiency sub-score — sits at a middling level for a business priced above its peers. Consensus is, unusually, more cautious than the realized record here; the three-year EPS CAGR from SEC filings runs at {{value:eps_cagr_3y}}, while the forward PEG reads as stretched, suggesting the market has already priced in a recovery that the historical growth rate has not yet delivered.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
Sysco's F-Score flags zero points on efficiency: asset turnover and gross margin change both missed. On October 26, track revenue year over year and gross margin direction to see whether those two signals begin to recover toward sector norms.
Sysco carries a Debt/EBITDA of 2.41×, 27% above the sector median. On SEC EDGAR, open the latest 10-K and read the Liquidity section and long-term debt schedule to understand refinancing timelines and how management frames that leverage load.
The same-sector table in section 06 lists Consumer Staples companies alphabetically with no ranking. Pick two or three names yourself and line up one metric — Debt/EBITDA or P/B — against Sysco's 2.41× and 5.50× to judge whether its valuation and leverage sit at the edge or near the middle of the peer range.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
