In the said letter, Broyhill Asset Management highlighted a few stocks and Sysco Corp (NYSE:SYY) is one of them. Sysco is involved in marketing and distributing food products, smallwares, kitchen equipment, and tabletop items. Year-to-date, Sysco Corp (NYSE:SYY) stock lost 37.5% and on June 12th it had a closing price of $54.26. Here is what Broyhill Asset Management said:
“Sysco (SYY), the largest food distributor in the country, provides essential services to restaurants, grocery chains, and convenience stores. Although the company will likely face short-term challenges, we believe management has a generational opportunity to consolidate share amongst smaller operators who don’t have the cash or access to capital to survive. We purchased shares at the company’s lowest valuation in its history.”
In Q1 2020, the number of bullish hedge fund positions on Sysco Corp (NYSE:SYY) stock increased by about 25% from the previous quarter (see the chart here), so a number of other hedge fund managers seem to agree with SYY’s growth potential.
