Performance Food Group Co. PFGC is one of the largest food service distributors in the United States. The company sources, markets, and delivers food and food-related products through a network of over 150 distribution facilities to over 125,000 businesses in the food service industry.

The comestibles concern published the final set of quarterly results from its fiscal 2024. These beat handily on earnings, but missed narrowly on the top line.

Performance Food Group is a major food distributor, having more than tripled its sales over the past decade, aided by M&A efforts. Growth has come with growing margins as well, as the business has become a better company. Performance Food Group recently acquired Cheney Bros, a Florida-based food service business, adding significant value and growth potential to the company.

Performance Food Group Company shares rose 7.7% after announcing financial results for Q4 of 2024 fiscal year, with adjusted earnings exceeding forecasts. The company acquired Cheney Bros for $2.1 billion, adding $3.2 billion in annualized revenue, but the acquisition may be pricey. Management also acquired Jose Santiago and repurchased $78.1 million worth of shares in 2024, but shares likely have limited upside despite these moves.
