1454 ET - US Foods saw choppy trends in 4Q due to the government shutdown and weather in December, though the consumer backdrop is still stable, Deutsche Bank analysts say after meeting with management at the ICR Conference. The company "seems cautiously optimistic the consumer environment could be incrementally more favorable in 2026," the analysts say. Regardless, the company is focused on driving share gains with its key customers, which include independent restaurants and healthcare and hospitality companies, they say. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
