Is SYY overbought or oversold?
At the August 7, 2026 close, SYY's RSI(14) was 61.7, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, SYY has $1.79B in cash with $15.05B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Free cash flow comes in at $1.91B, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. ROE of 77.7% points to exceptionally high capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 8.0% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has grown from $68.64B (2022) to $84.55B (2026), reflecting a 23% increase over the period.
With a beta below 0.7, Sysco Corporation typically sees smaller price swings than the overall market, offering a degree of stability during turbulent periods. Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. No single metric tells the full story.
