Although the revenue and EPS for Aramark (ARMK) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended September 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Aramark (ARMK) is upgraded to a 'BUY' rating with a maintained share price target, reflecting strong recent results and ongoing operational improvements. ARMK delivered double-digit operating income and EPS growth, record-high customer retention, and international expansion, despite market volatility and a modest dividend yield. While ARMK's fundamentals are improving, alternatives offer higher yields, lower valuations, and stronger credit ratings, making them more attractive sector picks.
