Future Projections: Analysts project continued revenue growth driven by volume increases and price optimization. EPS growth is expected with an average annual increase of around 5%.

Summary
US Foods is a major player in the competitive food service distribution industry, holding the #2 market position after Sysco.

While the business carries some risks and has some work to do to continue streamlining operations, it is poised to remain a competitive player for the foreseeable future and increase profitability.
