Current thesis
The post-print readthrough improved: trusted secondary coverage showed Q3 adjusted EPS of $0.80 versus roughly $0.77 consensus and revenue of about $16.29 billion versus roughly $16.17 billion, while management also tightened FY26 sales and EBITDA ranges after saying adjusted EBITDA landed above the top end of February guidance. Early May 7 sell-side follow-through was constructive, with Citi and Barclays target increases and a still-strong-buy consensus backdrop.

First-nine-month results still included higher interest expense, acquisition-related costs, and legal/professional fees tied to shareholder activism and the clean team agreement with US Foods.
