Company Report

Sodexo Parts Ways With Pluxee

As one of only two global food service providers in a highly fragmented market, Sodexo is well positioned to benefit from the outsourcing trend that has pervaded developed markets in recent years. Sodexo has also been successful in taking market share from smaller, more local providers that cannot match the operational capabilities and proprietary knowledge that come from operating on a global basis.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Sodexo estimates that the entire market for outsourced food services is only about 50% penetrated, which leaves ample room for the company to increase market share.

Bears

Cuts to investment in the commodity sector could pressure Sodexo’s remote site business.

Company Profile

Sodexo is one of the largest food service companies globally, operating in more than 80 countries with annual sales of more than EUR 20 billion. Sodexo's model stems from operating on-premises catering facilities, rather than centralized industrial kitchens. While food services remains the largest business segment (58% of revenue in 2022), the company has actively pursued a strategy of diversifying its business activities into other areas, such as facilities-management services, which now represents more than a third of group revenue.
