A $29.1 billion acquisition still awaiting FTC clearance weighed on Sysco's first-quarter operating income as SYY shares lost 9.3% in one session. The investigation centers on the regulatory and cost exposure tied to the pending Jetro Restaurant Depot deal.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 9.3% of Sysco Corporation's (NYSE: SYY) market value was wiped out in a single session on November 3, 2026, after fiscal first-quarter 2027 results showed operating income weighed down by costs tied to its pending $29.1 billion Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition, a deal still awaiting Federal Trade Commission clearance. Investors who bought SYY before that drop and are now holding losses are the focus of this investigation. If you lost money on SYY, you are encouraged to submit your SYY loss details now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or by telephone at (888) SueWallSt.

The transaction remains under FTC review. Sysco and Jetro Restaurant Depot have responded to an FTC second request, and on the November 3 earnings call management described that process as substantially complete for both parties. Management also stated: "We expect the deal to be approved, and we remain on target to close the transaction by the end of Sysco's fiscal Q3." The deal has not closed and remains subject to FTC clearance.
Sysco has already lined up the financing: $11.75 billion in senior notes, $5 billion in hybrid debt, $3.75 billion in committed term loans and $1 billion in equity. First-quarter operating income fell 10.4%, with Jetro-related acquisition costs cited as a factor. SYY shareholders took the hit on November 3 while the transaction is still pending regulatory clearance.

Q: How much did SYY stock drop?A: Shares fell approximately 9.3% on November 3, 2026, after the Company reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 results showing operating income pressured by costs tied to its pending Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition. Investors who purchased shares at allegedly inflated prices and suffered losses may be eligible to seek compensation.
Q: Which statements are being investigated as potentially misleading?A: The investigation concerns whether Sysco made materially false or misleading statements regarding its pending $29.1 billion Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition, including its regulatory review and associated costs. When the Company disclosed fiscal first-quarter 2027 results on November 3, 2026, showing operating income pressured by Jetro-related costs, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: What if I already sold my SYY shares -- can I still recover losses?A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought SYY and sold at a loss may still participate in the investigation.
Q: What does it cost me to participate?A: There is no upfront cost to submit your information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you choose to participate in any resulting action, these matters are generally handled on a contingency basis, with any attorneys' fees and expenses subject to court approval.
