Valuing Sysco Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sysco Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sysco Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Sysco Corporation shares trade at around 20x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Sysco Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.4429. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Sysco Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Sysco Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.4 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 46.65% of net profits
Recently Sysco Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sysco Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sysco Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.01 per share.
While Sysco Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Sysco Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Sysco Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 24 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Sysco Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 17 December 2000 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sysco Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sysco Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Sysco Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Sysco Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $68.3402 up to $81.2242. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Sysco Corporation's is 1.2. This would suggest that Sysco Corporation's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
