United Natural Foods: This Could Double

United Natural Foods is showing clear turnaround progress, with profitability improving even as sales remain pressured by network optimization, weaker Conventional volumes, and Retail weakness. Management's FY26 guidance implies adjusted EBITDA growth of roughly 26% versus FY25, and continued efficiency gains could pull the company close to its FY28 adjusted EBITDA target a year early. At roughly 5.9x my FY27 adjusted EBITDA estimate, UNFI looks too cheap relative to food distribution peers, and a 10x EV/EBITDA multiple supports a price target near $100 per share.
