US Food Holdings Corp has secured a five-year indefinite-delivery contract from the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, with a maximum value of $124 million. The fixed-price arrangement with economic-price adjustments will provide subsistence prime vendor assistance to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and other federal civilian agencies through March 2031. The contract was awarded after a competitive procedure with two submissions and will use defence working capital funds appropriated for fiscal years 2026 through 2031. Separately, US Foods reported strong full-year 2025 results on 12 February, with net income reaching $676 million and total sales of $39.4 billion. The company repurchased 11.9 million shares and projected net sales growth of 4–6% for fiscal year 2026.
US Foods Holding reported adjusted earnings per share that exceeded expectations in its latest quarter, driven by cost controls and operational efficiency, though revenue missed estimates and gross profit margins narrowed. The results highlight how the company's progress stems from internal efficiency rather than revenue expansion. Management has set ambitious 2026 targets for adjusted EPS and EBITDA growth, relying heavily on continued operational improvements. The company's narrative projects $45.1 billion revenue and $1.1 billion earnings by 2028, requiring 5.3% yearly revenue growth. The key investment question is whether productivity gains and cost controls can continue offsetting industry softness in foodservice spending if case growth and gross margins remain under pressure. Simply Wall St Community fair value estimates range from $78 to $156 per share.
