A big food company called Performance Food Group had some trouble making money in the last three months because they sold things for less money than it cost them to make or buy. This made their profit smaller than people thought it would be. They did sell more food overall, but not enough to cover the lower prices. Some parts of their business did well and grew, like selling more food to independent restaurants and their own brands. The company still has a lot of money in the bank and they think they will do better in the future. But some people who watch the stock market are worried about how much money the company is making compared to what they expected, so the price of the company's shares went down a little bit.
