Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
United Natural Foods, Inc. trades at $44.78, which is 41% above the $26.33 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.
Our moat model scores it 9 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

Is United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $26.33, UNFI at $44.78 is 41% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own UNFI?
12 of the institutions we track reported a position in UNFI in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
