Key focus areas include operational efficiency, debt reduction, and growth in the Supernatural segment, particularly with the renewed Whole Foods contract. Despite positive growth and efficiency improvements, UNFI stock appears overpriced with a high forward P/E ratio, suggesting limited upside potential.
