Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY)

SYY is a great business.
But Mr. Market is oozing with love for the stock.
I expect SYY's ROI to be 4%, as compared to a market ROI of 6.5%.

M* Dividend Builder pick

Attractive dividend yield at nearly 4%.

Great company with a growing dividend.

AMERICA'S FOOD DISTRIBUTION TITAN! Why do I like Sysco so much? Well 1st off it supplies about 400,000 customers and has a market cap over 17 billion. So it is big and seemingly not too risky. Sysco is the LARGEST food-service distributor in North America (market leaders are who I like best!), with 17% share of the market. Next closest competitor you ask? U.S. Foodservice with only 9% and then Performance Food Group with just 5% . Sysco has realized returns that are about 3 times the level of its peers.
*ROE 5year average? 29
*ROC 5 year average? 15.5

Keeps restaurants ,hotels,food retailers running sone slowing due to rise in food prices dividend titan surged 16% been able to maintain profit

they have a great business plan.

Initiated ~5% position in RL portfolio @27.42 today. Plan to hold "forever".

Solid product, good earnings can only get better as economy recovers. Decent dividend payout that isn't breaking the bank and an economic recovery will strengthen cash flow to continue support for the dividend.

Great niche, they know what they're doing.

a safe, boring stock

Have been a holder and it did not do well.

buy and hold div stock with some growth

Will outlast smaller competitors in downturn and gain market share eventually passing on price increases to customers.

Good solid boring defensive stock, nice idea right now. Yield 3.85 and cheap.

Strong dividend. Good price

Best food vendor/purveyor out there. Period.
