Formed in 1969 from a merger of nine food distributors, the company is the largest foodservice distributor in North America, delivering to restaurants, schools, hospitals, and hotels. Revenue is enormous and margins are thin, with profitability turning on route density, private label penetration, and case volume per stop. The pandemic closed much of its customer base overnight, making 2020 an extreme stress test. Independent restaurants are the most profitable segment. Headquarters are in Houston.

- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

Sysco equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge SYY stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and SYY's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current SYY option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Sysco grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Sysco typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Sysco RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Sysco restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
