Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Performance Food Group operates through three segments serving the food-away-from-home market: Foodservice distributes food to independent restaurants and chains, Convenience serves retail stores through Core-Mark, and Specialty serves channels such as vending, universities, travel, and hospitality through Vistar. Its growth depends on winning new accounts, increasing its share of spending among existing customers, and expanding proprietary-brand products; the number of proprietary-brand SKUs reached approximately 25 thousand across more than 85 families, and these brands represented approximately 54% of cases sold to independent restaurants in fiscal Q4 2026 excluding Cheney Brothers, or slightly more than 50% when including it.
In fiscal Q4 2026, net sales grew 6.4% and total cases grew 3.5%, while gross profit increased 8.3% and gross profit per case rose by $0.34. Net income reached $162.3 million, up 23.4%, and adjusted EBITDA reached $587.5 million, up 7.4%, while diluted earnings per share were $1.03 and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.59. Foodservice achieved organic growth of 5.8% in independent restaurant cases, Convenience segment adjusted EBITDA increased 10.4%, while Specialty recorded sales growth of 6.6%.
Available EDGAR filings show that revenue reached $4.7 billion, gross profit $604.7 million, and net income $32.3 million in fiscal Q3 2019, compared with revenue of $4.6 billion, gross profit of $614.6 million, and net income of $43.1 million in fiscal Q2 2019. For fiscal 2018, the company recorded revenue of $17.6 billion, gross profit of $2.3 billion, and net income of $198.7 million.
The average analyst target is $127.33, within a range of $115 to $133, with a consensus rating of “Buy.” The average target and the highest target are above the 52-week range high of $117.475, while the stock's 52-week range extends from $80.82 to $117.475; however, the breadth of the target range, fiscal Q4 2026 results that fell short of some expectations, and weak first-quarter guidance justify treating the consensus signal with caution.

Net sales grew 6.4% and total cases increased 3.5% in fiscal Q4 2026. Gross profit increased 8.3%, and net income reached $162.3 million, up 23.4%. Adjusted EBITDA also reached $587.5 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.59.
The company targets sales between $72.5 billion and $73 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $2.125 billion and $2.225 billion in fiscal 2027. The midpoint of the two ranges represents annual growth of 7.2% for sales and 12.7% for adjusted EBITDA, with an approximately 2% benefit from the 53rd week. For fiscal Q1 2027, management expects sales between $17.9 billion and $18.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $510 million and $530 million.
Foodservice achieved organic growth of 5.8% in independent restaurant cases during fiscal Q4 2026, with full-year growth reaching 5.9%. The company added new independent accounts at a rate of approximately 5%, while its proprietary brands represented approximately 54% of independent cases excluding Cheney Brothers. In fiscal 2027, the company expects additional support from Jersey Mike's after winning three of four regions in the request for proposals.

Core-Mark benefited in fiscal 2026 from the addition of Love's and RaceTrac, which increased the number of national-account stores by 16% and drove case growth of 6.9%. Segment adjusted EBITDA increased 10.4% in fiscal Q4 2026 due to margin improvement and expense control. In contrast, management acknowledged losing some accounts for pricing reasons and slower cases per store as fuel prices rose, making the new-customer pipeline a critical factor in the second half of fiscal 2027.
The Cheney Brothers facility in Florence became fully operational, and management described it as the company's fastest-growing facility by case volume in the southeastern United States. Management expects to begin incorporating Cheney Brothers volumes into procurement initiatives during the second half of fiscal 2027, and for its infrastructure to support the onboarding of Jersey Mike's business. Cash-Wa adds annual revenue of less than $1 billion and combines Foodservice and Convenience in its model, with a margin between the two segments.
The company expects fuel pressure to continue in fiscal Q1 2027 at a level close to the $16 million net impact recorded in fiscal Q4 2026. Specialty cost pressures will also continue during the first half, while the pace of earnings improvement depends on increasing procurement savings and easing Florence facility expenses. Other risks include competitive account losses in Convenience, weak restaurant traffic, and the shift in demand toward fresh foods and higher-protein products as GLP-1 drugs become more widespread.
