Sysco Q2 EPS $0.99 Beats → +10.4% Stock Surge, CFO Departing April 17 for McKesson

Sysco reported Q2 fiscal 2026 EPS of $0.99, beating estimates and driving a 10.4% single-day stock surge as the food distribution giant demonstrated margin improvement and volume recovery across its restaurant and foodservice customer base. The company disclosed its CFO would depart on April 17 to join McKesson, creating near-term leadership uncertainty, though analysts hold a Buy consensus with a $91.00 average price target. Risks include food cost inflation outpacing customer price increases, CFO transition disruption, and potential restaurant industry volume softness if consumer spending slows.
