US Foods Holding Corp's stock surged 5.23% during intraday trading on Thursday, following the release of its fourth-quarter and fiscal year 2025 financial results.
The foodservice distributor reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.04 for Q4 2025, beating analyst estimates of $1.00. While quarterly sales of $9.8 billion slightly missed expectations, net income jumped nearly triple year-over-year to $184 million, driven by case volume growth, price increases, and productivity improvements. The company also gained market share across its independent restaurant, healthcare, and hospitality customer segments.
Investor sentiment was further bolstered by management's strong guidance for fiscal year 2026, forecasting adjusted EPS growth of 18% to 24% and sales growth of 4% to 6%. The results indicate the company's effective navigation of a softer economic environment through operational improvements and cost management.
