Post-spin food-services turnaround is delivering double-digit profit growth, but a 44x P/E on 1.8% margins prices in a lot.

Revenue $18.5B · FY2025

The read

Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~35% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.

Aramark is a leading global food and facilities-services provider executing a clean post-Vestis-spin growth story. FY2025 revenue grew 6.4% to $18.5B, operating income rose 12.1% to $792M, and net income jumped 24.3% to $326M, lifting diluted EPS 23.2% to $1.22. The multi-year recovery is real — from a -$90.8M loss in FY2021 (COVID-hit) through a steadily rebuilt earnings base — and operating cash flow grew 26.8% to $921M, comfortably funding $489M of capex, a $111M dividend (+10.9%), and a sharply increased $170M of buybacks. ROE of 10.4% is respectable for a contract-services business.

The model is durable: long-term written contracts across Business & Industry, Education, Healthcare, and Sports/Leisure sectors in the US and 15 other countries generate sticky, recurring revenue. The MD&A emphasizes active management of operating costs through 'supply chain initiatives and pricing actions' to offset tariff-driven inflation, and the company hedges interest-rate risk with swaps — important given it is a leveraged business carrying meaningful debt from its private-equity heritage.
