What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($80.58). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($26.39 to $80.58). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (66/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
US Foods Holding (USFD) currently trades at $106.97, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $55.10, implying the stock looks roughly 48.5% overvalued today. We read business quality at 66/100 (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, US Foods Holding generated revenue of $39.7B at a net margin of 1.7%. Revenue grew 2.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.1%. Net debt stands at $5.7B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $26.39 (bear case) to $80.58 (bull case); at $106.97, 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 53% 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 -48%, USFD 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.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($53.12) versus Asset-Based ($13.10). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
