Description: USFD US Foods Holding December 19, 2025
US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE: USFD) is a leading U.S. foodservice distributor that supplies fresh, frozen, dry, and non-food products to a broad customer base-including independent restaurants, national chains, hospitals, hotels, and institutional buyers-through an extensive logistics network headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois.
Key performance indicators from FY 2023 show revenue of roughly $27.5 billion and an adjusted EBITDA margin near 3 %, reflecting modest profitability in a low-margin distribution business. Same-store sales growth was flat year-over-year, while the company’s inventory turnover improved to 6.2×, indicating tighter supply-chain management.
Sector-wide drivers that materially affect US Foods include persistent food-price inflation (driven by commodity volatility), labor-cost pressures in the restaurant industry, and the ongoing consolidation of restaurant operators, which can boost volume but also intensify pricing competition.
For a deeper quantitative view of USFD’s valuation dynamics, the ValueRay platform offers granular metrics worth exploring.
