↑ 12%US Foods reported second-quarter revenue of $10.53 billion, beating analyst estimates and marking 4.5% year-on-year growth. The food distribution company's non-GAAP profit of $1.44 per share exceeded consensus forecasts by 5.7%. CEO David Flitman attributed the performance to robust independent restaurant case growth, which reached its highest level since late 2023, alongside gains in healthcare and hospitality sectors. Sales volumes increased 1.9% year on year. The company is investing in technology and AI adoption to drive efficiency and customer experience improvements. Management highlighted the rollout of its Pronto delivery service and AI-driven operational enhancements as key growth drivers.

Why US Foods (USFD) stock is trading up today. Kayode omotosho /. August 6, 2026 What happened? Shares of food distribution giant US Foods (NYSE:USFD) jumped 6.8% in the afternoon session after Shares of US Foods climbed after the company reported strong second-quarter financial results that surpassed analyst expectations for both revenue and earnings. The food distribution giant announced quarterly revenue of $10.53 billion, a 4.5% increase from the same period a year ago, beating consensus estimates. Adjusted earnings came in at $1.44 per share, which was also ahead of expectations. The positive performance was supported by a 1.9% increase in total sales volumes year on year. US Foods also delivered adjusted EBITDA of $604 million, outperforming Wall Street's forecasts, while its operating margin remained stable at 4.2%. What is the market telling us. US Foods's shares are not very volatile and have only had 5 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 6 months ago when the stock gained 9.3% on the news that the company reported fourth-quarter results where its profit beat analyst expectations, overshadowing a slight miss on revenue. The foodservice distributor posted adjusted earnings of $1.04 per share, surpassing Wall Street's estimate of $1.01. This profit beat appeared to outweigh the fact that its revenue of $9.8 billion came in just shy of the $9.9 billion consensus. While sales volumes were flat compared to the previous year, the company's ability to significantly grow earnings per share from $0.84 in the same quarter last year demonstrated strong profitability. Looking ahead, analysts expect the company's earnings per share to continue growing by 18.6% over the next twelve months, which likely fueled investor confidence in the stock. US Foods is up 43.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $107.34 per share, it has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of US Foods's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $3,147. WHILE YOU'RE HERE: The Next Palantir?

Client testimonial: Sue Letang of US Foods. In this video, Sue Letang - Senior Manager of Health & Welfare Plans at US Foods, a food distributor with around 20,000 employees - explains why she values the partnership with Carrum so much. "When I think about someone not having Carrum, it's like not having food. Because Carrum takes away all the insecurities. They take away all the guesswork. I don't know any other company that paves the way so well." Wondering why Sue is wearing Carrum scrubs in the video?
