Sysco Corporation, a multinational corporation involved in marketing and distribution of food products, is making waves in the business world recently. The company recently disclosed in its
SEC filings its plans for
strategic merger with
Jetro Restaurant Depot. Expected to expand Sysco's footprint in the food-service sector, the merger deal encompasses a $29 billion transaction and is expected to yield a
+25% revenue and
+45% EBITDA. This transformative deal, however, has been met with some skepticism, as Sysco's shares have faced a downward slope following the announcement. Adding to this uncertainty, Sysco’s tech leader,
Tom Peck, recently resigned for a new industry role which has somewhat added to investor concerns. Meanwhile, in a related development, Sysco executives opted to receive their compensation primarily in equity. This move underline a closer alignment with shareholder's interests, however, due to the current situation, Citi has lowered Sysco's price target. Prior to these event, Sysco Corporation has seen an increase in share purchases from notable investment firms such as
Columbus Macro LLC and
Mackenzie Financial Corp, and is currently rated a 'Moderate Buy' by analysts.
