News Summary
PositivePFGC delivered solid FY2026 results with 7.2% net sales growth and strong free cash flow generation ($1.0B, up $326M YoY), though Q4 slightly missed consensus on both EPS ($1.59 vs. $1.62) and revenue (-1.02%). Management guided for robust 12.7% adjusted EBITDA growth in FY2027 supported by a 53rd week and easier cost comparisons, with recent analyst upgrades (Citi raised target to $143) reflecting confidence in the growth trajectory.
