Current thesis
Primary-source evidence supports a constructive operating read: CHEF delivered double-digit revenue growth, organic case and pound growth, and margin expansion in Q1, while maintaining full-year guidance after a strong start. If that cadence persists into Q2, the market can justify modest upward estimate revisions.
