10/02/2020 – As the largest distributor of food, Sysco Corporation has been deeply impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning that while it would usually get a score around 30 given its long history of very good financials, the unprecedented crisis has sent its score into the ground. Such a score for such a great company should be viewed as a temporary phenomenon, however the jump in total debt could be an issue in the coming years despite the good debt coverage so far. It will depend on when the pandemic ends. “I am immensely proud of the actions taken by the Sysco team to manage our business during this time of crisis, specifically led by our associates’ focus and agility when launching strategic transformational initiatives,” said Kevin Hourican, Sysco’s president and chief executive officer.
