Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN) Azioni

TYSON FOODS INC-CL A

Tyson Foods

Tyson Foods is a protein-focused food producer, selling raw chicken, beef, pork, and prepared foods. Chicken and beef are its two largest segments, each composing about one third of US sales. Prepared foods constituted 18% of fiscal 2024 sales and include brands like Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, and Sara Lee. However, most of these are in product categories rife with competition where Tyson does not have a massive market share lead. Tyson sells some products overseas, but the international segment accounts for just 4% of total revenue. The company is an active acquirer, with more recent years' purchases focused on international and food-service markets.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Tyson Foods's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.35%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

(TSN) - Analyzing Tyson Foods's Short Interest

Piper Sandler analyst Michael Lavery upgraded the shares of Tyson Foods Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSN#NYSE">TSN</a>) from Underweight to Neutral and maintained the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $58.</a>
TSN reported a 9.1% Chicken EBIT margin in the first quarter, surpassing the analyst&#8217;s 6.5% forecast, marking its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43432806/tyson-foods-posts-q1-earnings-protein-conscious-customers-drive-demand-ceo-calls-it-best-quarter-in-2-years" rel="noreferrer noopener">best quarter since the second quarter of FY2018.</a>
The company achieved a Chicken order fill rate of over 98%, thanks to improvements in scheduling and execution that better aligned production with demand.
Tyson Foods also reduced waste in its plants. Both retail and food service segments are expanding, with strong performance in its value-added portfolio. Additionally, it reintroduced fully cooked products in retail during the first quarter.
The analyst forecasts a 7.4% Chicken EBIT margin for F25, though feed cost benefits are expected to diminish in later quarters.
Cattle supply remains limited, and price spreads are narrow, but prices have stayed high due to stronger-than-expected consumer demand, said the analyst.
The analyst anticipates that heifer retention may increase, which would be beneficial for herd rebuilding in the long run, but could reduce near-term supply and potentially pressure margins further.
On February 1, 2025, President Trump announced that the U.S. would impose a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico" rel="noreferrer noopener">25% tariff on all imports</a> from Canada and Mexico, effective February 4, 2025.
However, U.S. and Mexico have agreed to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43440692/us-mexico-agrees-on-one-month-tariffs-pause-stocks-rebound-peso-rallies" rel="noreferrer noopener">postpone the tariffs</a> for a month to focus on combating the fentanyl trade.

Tyson Foods exports a limited amount of chicken products to Canada and sends around 2.5% of its pork sales, along with some chicken leg quarters, to Mexico. Additionally, it imports feeder cows and hogs from Canada.
Tyson Foods is prepared to adjust to any tariffs, with contingency plans in place to pivot to other markets quickly, opined the analyst.
While the analyst expects solid EBIT for the second and third quarters, the outlook for future quarters remains uncertain. The analyst has raised the FY25 EPS estimate from $3.45 to $3.93 but kept the FY26 EPS at $4.55 and the target price at $58.
Price Action: TSN shares are trading lower by 1.54% at $56.85 at the last check Tuesday.

Highlighting the tariff impact, economist Jeremy Siegel said that the prospect of new trade barriers introduces another layer of volatility, with markets reacting negatively to the uncertainty.
&#8220;History has shown that tariffs are rarely viewed as a net positive for equities, and while they could lead to a temporary bump in inflation and price levels, the Fed is unlikely to respond to a one-time inflationary shock,&#8221; he added.
While Mexican and Canadian tariffs were paused, Siegel, who is the senior economist at WisdomTree and a former professor at the University of Pennsylvania added that &#8220;Trump's new tariffs are not smart either economically or politically&#8221;.
&#8220;The political impact is likely to be very negative for Trump's program, as the rise in prices (gasoline and some food items) will have high visibility in the mainstream media and put pressure on some legislators,&#8221; he added.

Dow Trims Losses After Trump Delays Mexico, Canada Tariffs: Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Piper Sandler analyst Michael Lavery upgrades Tyson Foods (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSN#NYSE">TSN</a>) from Underweight to Neutral and maintains the price target from $58 to $58.

Piper Sandler Upgrades Tyson Foods to Neutral, Maintains Price Target to $58

Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSN#NYSE">TSN</a>) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results, driven by robust performance in the chicken sales segment. This marks the company&#8217;s third consecutive quarter of annual growth across key metrics.
What Happened: The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43432806/tyson-foods-posts-q1-earnings-protein-conscious-customers-drive-demand-ceo-calls-it-best-quarter-in-2-years">reported</a> earnings of $1.14 per share beating the Benzinga consensus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSN/earnings">estimate</a> of $0.88 by 29.5% and sales of $13.62 billion, 1.21% above the estimated $13.46 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
"Our best quarterly performance in more than two years reflects improved execution across the business, including exceptional results in chicken," said president and CEO Donnie King.
The management during its earnings call highlighted that its diversified multi-protein portfolio delivered results, with chicken helping to offset the ongoing challenges in beef. Achieving the best adjusted operating income of any quarter over the past eight years in the chicken segment.
The company&#8217;s value-added products like Jimmy Dean griddle cakes and chicken biscuits gained traction as chicken also continued to be a &#8220;bright spot,&#8221; with sales increasing due to higher volumes in these foodservice channels, explained the company CFO Curt Calaway.
Calaway raised adjusted operating income guidance for the segment to $1 billion to $1.3 billion for fiscal 2025, given the chicken&#8217;s strong first-quarter performance.
Highlighting the concerns regarding the trade war with Mexico, King added &#8220;Mexico is a large trading partner for us. So, essentially, what we would do, whether it be pork or whether it would be chicken, is we would find other markets.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Despite strong growth in the Chicken segment in the first quarter, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on its website highlighted that H5 bird flu is widespread in wild birds globally, causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows, with recent human cases in U.S. farm workers. The public health risk remains low, but the CDC is closely monitoring the situation and people exposed to animals, using its flu surveillance systems.
CDC&#8217;s weekly scientific reports are on hold due to an "immediate pause" on communications by federal health agencies, ordered by Dorothy Fink, acting secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. CNN <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/30/health/bird-flu-mmwr-pause-trump-kff-partner/index.html">reported</a> that Fink&#8217;s memo, issued on President Donald Trump's first full day in office, requires any publication to be reviewed and approved by a presidential appointee. 
Price Action: Shares of Tyson Foods rose 2.21% to end Monday at $57.74 apiece. It fell by 0.24% in after-hours. The exchange-traded fund tracking Russell 2000, iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) declined 1.17% to $223.83 on Monday.
The average price target among 17 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSN/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a> is $61.38 with a ‘sell' rating. The estimates range from $45 to $75 apiece. Recent ratings from Barclays, UBS, and Piper Sandler suggest a $65 target, implying a potential upside of 12.85%.

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner: Tyson Foods Q1 Beat Showcases 'Improved Execution' In Poultry, Says CEO

WIIM

Tyson Foods shares are trading higher following better-than-expected Q1 financial results.

Wall Street bounced back after President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to a one-month suspension of tariffs following Mexico's pledge to bolster its military presence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43440692/us-mexico-agrees-on-one-month-tariffs-pause-stocks-rebound-peso-rallies">at the northern border.</a>
Earlier on Monday, markets had been rattled by Trump&#8217;s announcement of sweeping tariffs — 25% on all imports from Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese goods. The prospect of escalating trade tensions led to sharp early session declines.
The temporary tariff reprieve on Mexico has fueled speculation that Trump may be using tariffs as a negotiation tool rather than a definitive policy, potentially easing concerns they will remain in place if U.S. demands — centered on immigration and drug trafficking — are met.
Trump is set to speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at 3 p.m. ET.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 were down 0.8%, trimming earlier losses, while the Dow nearly erased its decline entirely, reflecting renewed investor confidence in industrial and less tech-sensitive stocks.
Some of the Magnificent Seven stocks remained under pressure. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) all faced sharp declines, by 6%, 4% and 3.8% respectively, amid concerns over worsening trade relations with China and the risk of retaliatory measures from Beijing.
In fixed income, long-term Treasury yields edged lower, while the U.S. dollar trimmed its early session gains. The Mexican peso rebounded sharply, rising over 1% by 12:30 p.m. ET, recovering from overnight losses of up to 2%.
Commodity markets experienced turbulence. Natural gas prices soared 11% on Monday, surpassing $3 per million British thermal units, while oil climbed 0.8%.
Safe-haven demand remained strong, with gold rallying 0.8% to a record high of over $2,810 per ounce.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged back to $99,000 following news of the U.S. pause on Mexico tariffs.

U.S. stock futures dropped sharply on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on three of its major trade partners, Canada, China, and Mexico.
The new tariffs will begin Tuesday, with a 10% levy on China and a 25% levy on a few Canadian and Mexican imports, each. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce warns of supply chain disruptions and higher family costs, citing concerns over trade with Mexico worth $46 billion in agricultural products, and Canada valued at $97 billion in energy supplied.
The U.S. dollar index strengthened over 1% following this announcement.
All major index futures were down, with the Russell 2000 falling more than 2%. This drop comes after the indices had posted gains for three consecutive weeks.

Insights From Analysts
The newly issued tariffs as highlighted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be used to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. It will also be used to raise revenues to help pay for extending Trump&#8217;s 2017 tax cuts and as a lever to negotiate with other countries as an alternative to sanctions.
However, Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein in their QuickTakes note mentioned that &#8220;During Trump 1.0, tariff hikes by the U.S. seem to have depressed merchandise imports in 2018 and 2019. But they also depressed U.S. exports because global economic growth was weakened by trade tensions.&#8221;
Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research highlighted in an X post that February is historically the worst month during a post-election year.

He added that the S&amp;P 500 has been up eight of the past nine quarters. &#8220;One of these days it&#8217;ll fall and that is perfectly normal.&#8221;
According to Ivan Martchev, investment strategist at Navellier &amp; Associates, &#8220;Seasonality is not a promise.&#8221;
Martchev highlighted that December was supposed to be strong, but it turned out to be weak. He added that since 1928, September has been the weakest seasonal month, but last year only the first week was down while the rest of the month was strong.
&#8220;So as we approach February which is weak over the long term, we must remember that seasonality is a guideline, but it can deviate widely each year,&#8221; he added.
