Sysco appoints Brandon Sewell as CFO and reaffirms FY27 outlook after Q1 results

Sysco Corporation named Brandon Sewell permanent chief financial officer, effective November 1, 2026, after serving as interim CFO since March 2026. The company reported first‑quarter FY27 sales of $21.7 billion, up 2.8% year over year, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.19, a 3.5% increase. It reaffirmed its FY27 guidance of approximately 2.5% local volume growth and adjusted EPS growth of 9%–11%, while lowering its sales growth expectation to the lower end of the 6%–7% range.

The reaffirmed volume and EPS guidance suggests Sysco expects continued modest growth, which may support analyst forecasts for FY27. The CFO appointment provides continuity in financial leadership as the company executes its AI modernization and Jetro acquisition plans.
