Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from UNFI's reported EPS growth of -3.5% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.16
- Implied price
- $42.85
- Return from $45.59
- -1.2% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $21.30 — -53.3% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 25 | 31 | 37 | 43 | 49 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -13.5% | -18.1% | -14.5% | -11.5% | -8.8% | -6.4% |
| -8.5% | -13.4% | -9.6% | -6.4% | -3.5% | -0.9% |
| -3.5% | -8.7% | -4.7% | -1.2% | 1.8% | 4.5% |
| 1.5% | -3.9% | 0.3% | 3.9% | 7.1% | 9.9% |
| 6.5% | 0.8% | 5.2% | 9.0% | 12.3% | 15.3% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

United Natural Foods: $293 Million Less Sales, $39 Million More EBITDA UNFI's conventional sales fell $293 million in Q4, but that segment supplied $39 million of the company's $56 million adjusted EBITDA increase. Planned optimization reduced quarterly sales by roughly five percentage points while gross profit still increased. At $44.93, fiscal 2027 guidance implies about 5.6 times midpoint adjusted EBITDA and an 11% free-cash-flow yield.

91 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
