Sysco (SYY) reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.19 during its first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings call on November 3, 2026. Despite a 2% decline in broader restaurant industry traffic, the company saw local case volume growth of 2.7%, driven by productivity gains and proprietary AI sales tools. The foodservice distributor is heavily investing in an enterprise artificial intelligence program aimed at generating $100 million in net cost savings in fiscal 2027, with a long-term target of $500 million by fiscal 2029. Additionally, Sysco is on track to complete its acquisition of Jetro Restaurant Depot by the third quarter of fiscal 2027, which will expand its reach into the cash-and-carry wholesale market.
