United Natural Foods Inc (UNFI) is not a strong buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy at this time. The financial performance is weak, with declining revenue, net income, and EPS. Analysts have mixed ratings, with no strong upward momentum in price targets. While technical indicators suggest a bullish trend, the lack of significant positive catalysts and the absence of proprietary trading signals make it prudent to hold rather than buy.
The technical indicators show a bullish trend. The MACD is positive and expanding, SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200 indicates bullish moving averages, and the current price is above the pivot level. However, the RSI at 71.209 is neutral, and the stock has a 70% chance of declining slightly (-1.35%) in the next day.
The gross margin increased by 2.88% YoY, and the company has a strong position as a leading grocery wholesaler in North America.
Revenue, net income, and EPS have all declined significantly YoY. Analysts have mixed ratings and reduced price targets. There are no significant hedge fund or insider trading trends, and no recent congress trading data is available.
In Q1 FY2026, revenue dropped by -0.39% YoY to $7.84 billion, net income fell by -80.95% YoY to -$4 million, and EPS decreased by -80.00% YoY to -0.07. Gross margin increased to 13.57%, up 2.88% YoY.
Analysts have mixed ratings. Deutsche Bank resumed coverage with a Hold rating and a $40 price target, while Wells Fargo lowered its price target to $35 from $37, maintaining an Equal Weight rating. Analysts see a challenging food retail outlook but note potential opportunities in fiscal/tariff trade and idiosyncratic drivers.
