How is Bunzl scored?
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Bunzl is primarily a European and North American distributor, whereas many peers are global. It also differs in its end-market focus on food retail and hygiene rather than industrial or medical supplies exclusively. This geographic and customer concentration creates both a competitive moat and a vulnerability to region-specific downturns.

What Investors Ask About Bunzl (BZLFY) — Industrials
Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
How does Bunzl source supplies more efficiently than a customer buying directly from the manufacturer?
Bunzl aggregates demand across many small customers and negotiates volume discounts that no single small retailer or food-service operator could achieve alone. The distribution margin is the spread between bulk procurement cost and small-lot selling prices.
Is Bunzl's geographic footprint a strength or a weakness versus competitors?
Presence in North America, Continental Europe, United Kingdom, and emerging markets provides diversification against regional downturns. However, it also increases complexity and exposure to regional supply-chain disruptions.
What is the BZLFY stock price today?
The last price recorded on this page for Bunzl plc (BZLFY) is $17.40, as of the Oct 2, 2026 trading session (source: Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) · quote). It is a provider snapshot, not a live exchange feed, so check a brokerage quote before you trade.

Yes. Bunzl plc (BZLFY) shows a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 2.84%, as of Oct 2, 2026, in the data on this page. Payout ratio and cash-flow coverage decide whether it can last, and past dividends do not guarantee future payments.

Sources — records for every figure on this page (41 figures)
The 41 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
