What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($56.85). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (55/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range ($27.61 to $56.85) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Performance Food Group (PFGC) currently trades at $114.58, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $37.94, implying the stock looks roughly 66.9% overvalued today. We read business quality at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Performance Food Group generated revenue of $63.3B at a net margin of 0.5%. Revenue grew 6.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.3%. Net debt stands at $7.9B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $27.61 (bear case) to $56.85 (bull case); at $114.58, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades near its 52-week high and 42% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -26% fair-value upside, at -67%, PFGC screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
