Tyson Foods (TSN - Free Report) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term.
Over the past month, shares of this meat producer have returned -1.8%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +0.6% change. During this period, the Zacks Food - Meat Products industry, which Tyson falls in, has lost 1.9%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Revisions to Earnings EstimatesRather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings.
Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
Tyson is expected to post earnings of $1.03 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +13.2%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged.
For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $4.08 points to a change of -1% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed -0.8%.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $4.6 indicates a change of +12.8% from what Tyson is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -1.1%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Tyson.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:

Revenue Growth ForecastEven though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.
In the case of Tyson, the consensus sales estimate of $14.14 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +1.8%. The $56.57 billion and $56.82 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +3.9% and +0.5%, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryTyson reported revenues of $13.65 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +4.4%. EPS of $0.87 for the same period compares with $0.92 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $13.8 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -1.06%. The EPS surprise was +14.47%.
Over the last four quarters, Tyson surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates two times over this period.
ValuationNo investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Tyson is graded A on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.

Key Takeaways Tyson Foods' diversified protein portfolio supports resilience across shifting market conditions.Tyson Foods' Chicken and Prepared Foods drove fiscal second-quarter sales to $13.7 billion.Pilgrim's Pride is expanding branded foods, but pricing, weather and input costs pressured margins. Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN - Free Report) and Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (PPC - Free Report) compete in the Food – Meat Products industry, a sector focused on processing, producing and distributing animal protein products to retail, foodservice and export markets. Industry performance is influenced by feed and livestock costs, consumer demand, pricing dynamics and operational efficiency, making scale, supply-chain execution and cost management essential drivers of long-term profitability.
Tyson Foods operates a diversified protein business spanning chicken, beef, pork and prepared foods, serving a broad customer base across multiple channels. Pilgrim's Pride, meanwhile, is primarily a poultry producer with a growing international presence, supplying fresh, frozen and value-added chicken products. This face-off examines how the two companies compare in business mix, competitive positioning and their ability to manage industry cycles, margin pressures and evolving consumer demand.
The Case for Tyson Foods StockTyson Foods remains one of the largest global protein companies, supported by its diversified multi-protein business spanning chicken, beef, pork, prepared foods and international operations. The company generated second-quarter fiscal 2026 sales of $13.7 billion, with Chicken and Prepared Foods driving top-line growth and market share gains. Its broad operating footprint and scale enable Tyson Foods to serve retail, foodservice and export markets while maintaining a strong competitive position across protein categories.
Tyson Foods’ growth strategy is centered on disciplined execution, operational excellence and expanding higher-value offerings. On its second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call, management highlighted broad-based market share gains in Prepared Foods, with improvements across volume, units and dollar sales, while outperforming the overall category for the third consecutive quarter. Continued investments in pricing, distribution, customer partnerships and operational improvements strengthen the company's ability to capitalize on evolving consumer demand.
A key competitive advantage is Tyson Foods’ balanced portfolio of branded and commodity protein products. Leading brands such as Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm and Ball Park enhance Tyson Foods’ presence across multiple consumer segments, while a pipeline of nutritious, value-added products supports long-term brand relevance. The company's focus on innovation, product mix optimization and operational capabilities positions it to reinforce customer relationships and sustain market share across key categories.
However, Tyson Foods remains exposed to industry headwinds that can weigh on profitability. Earnings continue to be influenced by fluctuations in livestock availability, feed, commodity and packaging costs, while the Beef segment is expected to remain under pressure from tighter cattle supplies. Although operational efficiencies and pricing actions help mitigate these challenges, margins can still be affected by input cost volatility and changing protein market dynamics.

The Case for Pilgrim's Pride StockPilgrim's Pride has established itself as one of the world's leading poultry producers, serving retail, foodservice and international markets. The company generated $4.53 billion in first-quarter 2026 net revenues, supported by operations across the United States, Europe and Mexico. Its diversified geographic footprint and long-standing customer relationships provide multiple avenues for growth while strengthening its competitive position.
The company continues to shift its portfolio toward higher-value branded and prepared foods. Retail sales of Just BARE climbed nearly 40% year over year, while branded offerings in Mexico posted double-digit sales growth. Ongoing investments in capacity expansion, operational excellence and product innovation are aimed at improving product mix, supporting key customers and delivering more stable earnings.
However, profitability remains vulnerable to operational and market challenges. In the first quarter, the U.S. business faced lower poultry pricing, severe winter weather, bird health issues and plant downtime related to growth projects, all of which weighed on margins. The company also incurred higher freight, packaging and other input costs, requiring continued productivity and procurement measures to mitigate their impact.
Pilgrim's Pride also faces volatility across its international operations. In Mexico, elevated live commodity supplies and import pressures reduced margins despite solid branded sales growth, while softer foodservice demand in Europe limited volume growth. These factors highlight the company's continued exposure to supply-demand imbalances, regional market dynamics and changing consumer trends.
Price Performance and Valuation of TSN & PPCTyson Foods has significantly outperformed over the past year, delivering a 7.1% gain, while Pilgrim's Pride declined 35.6% and the industry fell 28.2%, reflecting stronger momentum and investor confidence in the former’s business.
From a valuation standpoint, Tyson Foods is trading at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12.76, below its one-year median of 14.09. In comparison, Pilgrim's Pride trades at a forward P/E of 9.62, above its one-year median of 8.69.

TSN Stands Out as the Better Protein StockTyson Foods and Pilgrim's Pride are both strengthening their positions through operational improvements, portfolio expansion and investments in higher-value products. However, Tyson Foods emerges as the stronger contender, backed by its diversified multi-protein platform, broader brand portfolio and consistent market share gains across key categories. Its balanced business mix and expanding presence across retail, foodservice and international markets provide greater resilience amid changing industry conditions. Coupled with its superior stock performance over the past year, Tyson Foods stands out as the more compelling investment choice in this face-off.
Tyson Foods currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while Pilgrim's Pride has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

As I sat down to start my work week, I realized that I didn’t eat a single hot dog over the holiday weekend to celebrate the 250th birthday of America.
Instead, I sat at Otto’s Pub and Brewery in State College, PA, with my gluten free Beef on Weck and birch beer float. I would easily argue that my meal celebrates American culture, but it’s not the gold standard for the holiday.
The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council estimates that Americans consume roughly 150 million hot dogs on the Fourth of July alone. And that’s just a slice of the 7 billion hot dogs eaten during the “hot dog season” of Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Now, hot dog preference seems to be as polarizing as what toppings actually belong on them. But the near unlimited options is probably why Americans eat so many.
I’m a fan of Teton Waters Ranch 100% beef hot dogs. But I also won’t say “no” to a Bar-S hot dog off my brother’s Blackstone grill while chasing his three toddlers around the backyard.
Neither of “my brands” are publicly traded, so I continued my search for an opportunity to profit from America’s summer hot dog fixation.
Checking the Stats I was honestly curious about which brands dominated this food category. Bar-S is in fact the highest selling by pack volume.
Ball Park Franks lead the market in total revenue hitting over $500 million annually. These hot dogs are part of the Hillshire Brands family which became a Tyson Foods (TSN) holding in 2014.
TSN is one of the largest meatpackers in the world, producing roughly 20% of beef, pork, and chicken sold in the US. It’s a company that I’ve followed for many years because of its market dominance in a consumer staples category.
Tyson pays a $0.51 quarterly dividend and has increased the payout for the past 14 years. But, its current 3.4% yield just isn’t high enough for me to want to add the company to my portfolio.
What about the hot dog with the most recognizable branding and jingle? That would have to be Oscar Mayer owned by Kraft Heinz Company (KHC). How many other brands have a fleet of hot dog shaped vehicles?
Unlike Tyson, Kraft Heinz also sells many of America’s favorite hot dog condiments. KHC has a massive family of brands from Jello to Velveeta, and from Cool Whip to A-1 Steak Sauce. You can find its products in just about every aisle of the grocery store. I would normally say this vast exposure is a reason for owning KHC… but right now the inner aisles of the grocery store are struggling.
KHC has faced quarterly declines in its North American volumes for almost five years. The company is in a strategic pivot with some positive signs, but it’s just not a journey we should jump into at this time.

Value investors also use the P/S ratio. The P/S ratio is calculated as price divided by sales. This is a preferred metric because revenue can't really be manipulated, so sales are often a truer performance indicator. TSN has a P/S ratio of 0.37. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 0.62.
Finally, our model also underscores that TSN has a P/CF ratio of 7.77. This figure highlights a company's operating cash flow and can be used to find firms that are undervalued when considering their impressive cash outlook. TSN's P/CF compares to its industry's average P/CF of 9.09. Over the past year, TSN's P/CF has been as high as 12.12 and as low as 7.59, with a median of 8.75.
These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that Tyson Foods is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, TSN feels like a great value stock at the moment.
Key Takeaways Online grocery sales rose 19% in Q1 2026 after a 20% increase in Q4 2025.Faster pickup, delivery and fulfillment upgrades are helping drive grocery sales growth.TSN, CHEF, DAR and MAMA are highlighted as grocery-related stocks with upside potential. Inflation has been rising over the past three months, as higher commodity prices are making consumers spend cautiously. Consumers have been cutting down on discretionary purchases. However, spending on groceries, which are considered a necessity, has seen a surge.
Online grocery sales rose at an impressive pace in the first quarter amid inflationary pressure. Grocery sales are poised to grow at a steady pace, as this is an area that will attract spending.
Given this situation, it would be ideal to invest in grocery stocks with a strong online arm, such as Tyson Foods (TSN - Free Report) , The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. (CHEF - Free Report) , Darling Ingredients Inc. (DAR - Free Report) and Mama's Creations, Inc. (MAMA - Free Report) .
Online Grocery Sales Continue to Grow
Online grocery sales jumped 19% in the first quarter of 2026 after increasing 20% in the final quarter of 2025, according to Brick Meets Click. Widespread improvement, including faster pick-up and delivery, is helping boost online grocery sales.
Upgrades at fulfillment centers, and ultra-fast deliveries are helping retailers meet consumers’ demand better. While online grocery pickup continues to witness robust growth, delivery and ship-to-home services are also improving at a faster pace. Delivery and ship-to-home services have grown nearly six times higher than pickup, according to the report.
Higher prices have been a challenge for buyers as oil prices surged after the Iran war broke out. Although energy costs have eased over the past couple of weeks, after the United States and Iran reached a peace deal, the impact of the war remains.
However, that hasn’t stopped consumers from spending on grocery items. The Bricks Meet Click report also showed that grocery spending share has climbed every quarter. Over the last six quarters, total grocery share spending rose more than 19%, reaching its highest level by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Excluding ship-to-home orders, overall grocery spending jumped an impressive 16% during the same period.

The average S&P 500 stock has seen a maximum drawdown of 21% this year. Read that again. While the index itself has held up, the individual companies within it have taken real damage, and a meaningful portion of that damage landed on consumer stocks that had nothing to do with AI spending debates, rate path uncertainty, or geopolitical conflict. They just got caught in the current.
That's where a $5,000 allocation starts to look like an opportunity rather than a risk. Spread across the names below, you're not making a concentrated bet. You're buying a collection of food and beverage businesses that people will still need whether rates go up, down, or sideways.

1. J.M. Smucker The J.M. Smucker Co. (SJM +3.06%) just delivered one of the cleanest consumer earnings results of 2026, and the stock barely gets mentioned outside of grocery industry coverage. The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, which ended April 30, came in with net sales up 6% to $2.3 billion and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) up 20%. The moment worth dwelling on: Uncrustables, the crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwich, crossed $1 billion in annual sales and added 3 million new households in a single year.
What's funny to me is the frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwich has also become a surprising staple across the NFL, with teams collectively consuming tens of thousands each year as players embrace it as a convenient, reliable snack. Smucker's is a brand gaining ground in the lunchbox aisle and in popular culture while consumers are actively looking for value.
The company is doing something counterintuitive for the moment: cutting shelf prices on its grocery products. It projects a 3% to 4% revenue dip as a result, but expects earnings per share to grow 7% to 12% next year because its gross margin is expanding. That's a company putting consumers first and betting on volume. With a portion of your $5,000 here, you're buying a brand with a billion-dollar growth engine and a management team that's willing to sacrifice short-term revenue for long-term loyalty.

2. Tyson Foods Tyson Foods (TSN +3.40%) has been one of the market's least-loved consumer companies for two years. That's changing. In fiscal Q2 2026, which ended March 28, the company beat earnings estimates, posting $0.87 per share against an expectation of $0.78, and raised its full-year chicken segment income forecast to as much as $2.05 billion. The chicken business has now posted five consecutive quarters of year-over-year volume gains.
The noise around Tyson in the past has been about beef margin compression and tariff exposure on cattle imports. But beef is one segment of a diversified protein company. Jimmy Dean, Ball Park, and Hillshire Farm are all gaining retail shelf space, and the company is executing on a multiyear cost-reduction program that is widening margins in the prepared foods segment. At current prices, Tyson trades at a fraction of where its chicken segment alone would likely be valued as a stand-alone business. $5,000 here as a bet on food and protein demand is about as durable as consumer demand gets.

Hormel is a strong investment because of its restructure play. Hormel sold its Planters snack-nuts business and is working through a transition in its turkey segment that has pressured short-term guidance. Organic net sales grew 3% in Q2 of fiscal 2026, which ended April 26, the fifth consecutive quarter of organic growth, and the dividend remains fully covered. With roughly $1,000 of your $5,000 here, you're collecting almost $48 annually in dividends per $1,000 invested while waiting for the valuation to normalize. Boring is underrated right now.

Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.
Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.
Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the "Value" category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, "A" grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.
One company value investors might notice is Tyson Foods (TSN - Free Report) . TSN is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A.
Investors should also note that TSN holds a PEG ratio of 0.70. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. TSN's PEG compares to its industry's average PEG of 1.60. TSN's PEG has been as high as 0.94 and as low as 0.30, with a median of 0.72, all within the past year.
We should also highlight that TSN has a P/B ratio of 1.03. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. TSN's current P/B looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/B of 1.52. Within the past 52 weeks, TSN's P/B has been as high as 1.24 and as low as 1.01, with a median of 1.11.
Value investors also use the P/S ratio. The P/S ratio is calculated as price divided by sales. This is a popular metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement, so they are often considered a better performance indicator. TSN has a P/S ratio of 0.41. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 0.67.
Finally, our model also underscores that TSN has a P/CF ratio of 7.77. This metric takes into account a company's operating cash flow and can be used to find stocks that are undervalued based on their solid cash outlook. This stock's P/CF looks attractive against its industry's average P/CF of 9.55. Within the past 12 months, TSN's P/CF has been as high as 12.12 and as low as 7.59, with a median of 8.75.
These are just a handful of the figures considered in Tyson Foods's great Value grade. Still, they help show that the stock is likely being undervalued at the moment. Add this to the strength of its earnings outlook, and we can clearly see that TSN is an impressive value stock right now.
SPRINGDALE, Ark., May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) announced today that Jeff Schomburger has been named President and Chief Executive Officer, effective October 4, 2026. Following a period of transition beginning in July, Schomburger will succeed King who has had an incredible 43-year career with the company. Schomburger has been a member of the Tyson Foods Board of Directors since 2016, providing him a strong understanding of the company’s operations and strategy.
Schomburger brings deep customer and consumer brand experience to the role, having held multiple senior leadership positions throughout his 35-year tenure at Procter & Gamble, retiring as its Global Sales Officer in 2019.
"The board and I are confident in Jeff Schomburger’s ability to lead Tyson Foods into its next chapter of growth,” said John H. Tyson, Chairman of the Board of Tyson Foods. “His experience will help us accelerate our strategic priorities and unlock new ways to win with customers and consumers—a key focus of our growth strategy. The Board looks forward to working with Jeff to drive sustainable growth, enhance shareholder value, and build on the strong momentum Tyson Foods has established.”
"I am honored to step into this leadership role and committed to building on the exceptional foundation and legacy of Tyson Foods. I'm energized by the opportunity to strengthen our iconic brands with superior products, capitalize on emerging opportunities through AI acceleration, and continue to win with customers and consumers,” said Jeff Schomburger. “I am grateful to the Board for their confidence, and I look forward to working with our outstanding leadership group and team members to strengthen Tyson Foods’ market leadership for years to come."
During his decade on the Board of Directors, Schomburger has served on multiple committees, including Compensation, Audit and Strategy & Acquisition, becoming Chair of Strategy and Acquisition in 2021. He has served as Lead Independent Director on the Board since 2025, working closely with King, providing Board oversight and engaging directly with leaders across the Tyson Foods business.
Donnie King will remain on the Tyson Foods Board of Directors. King will work closely with Schomburger to ensure a smooth leadership transition over the next several months. During his tenure as CEO, King successfully led the company through the COVID-19 pandemic, and improved execution across the business to substantially grow profit and strengthen the balance sheet. He meaningfully enhanced Tyson Foods’ strategic direction by accelerating innovation and driving significant efficiency, including bringing together all corporate staff at the company’s World Headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas.
“Donnie King’s long tenure at Tyson Foods, including his leadership as CEO, has strengthened our business and shaped our culture,” Tyson added. “We are grateful for his steady guidance and look forward to continuing to leverage his expertise within the Board.”

Tyson Foods (TSN - Free Report) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term.
Shares of this meat producer have returned -3.2% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +6% change. The Zacks Food - Meat Products industry, to which Tyson belongs, has lost 1.3% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Revisions to Earnings EstimatesHere at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.
We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Tyson is expected to post earnings of $1.05 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +15.4%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +0.7%.
The consensus earnings estimate of $4.14 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +0.5%. This estimate has changed +3.7% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $4.65 indicates a change of +12.3% from what Tyson is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +1.5%.
Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Tyson is rated Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth ForecastWhile earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
In the case of Tyson, the consensus sales estimate of $14.4 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +3.7%. The $56.88 billion and $57.64 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +4.5% and +1.3%, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryTyson reported revenues of $13.65 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +4.4%. EPS of $0.87 for the same period compares with $0.92 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $13.8 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -1.06%. The EPS surprise was +14.47%.

ValuationNo investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Tyson is graded A on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
ConclusionThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Tyson. However, its Zacks Rank #2 does suggest that it may outperform the broader market in the near term.
Tyson Foods (TSN - Free Report) has been beaten down lately with too much selling pressure. While the stock has lost 12.8% over the past four weeks, there is light at the end of the tunnel as it is now in oversold territory and Wall Street analysts expect the company to report better earnings than they predicted earlier.
We use Relative Strength Index (RSI), one of the most commonly used technical indicators, for spotting whether a stock is oversold. This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Usually, a stock is considered oversold when its RSI reading falls below 30.
Technically, every stock oscillates between being overbought and oversold irrespective of the quality of their fundamentals. And the beauty of RSI is that it helps you quickly and easily check if a stock's price is reaching a point of reversal.
So, by this measure, if a stock has gotten too far below its fair value just because of unwarranted selling pressure, investors may start looking for entry opportunities in the stock for benefiting from the inevitable rebound.
However, like every investing tool, RSI has its limitations, and should not be used alone for making an investment decision.
Why TSN Could Bounce Back Before LongThe heavy selling of TSN shares appears to be in the process of exhausting itself, as indicated by its RSI reading of 29.48. So, the trend for the stock could reverse soon for reaching the old equilibrium of supply and demand.
The RSI value is not the only factor that indicates a potential turnaround for the stock in the near term. On the fundamental side, there has been strong agreement among the sell-side analysts covering the stock in raising earnings estimates for the current year. Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for TSN has increased 3.7%. And an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.
Moreover, TSN currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. This is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential turnaround in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Considering these trends, value investing is clearly one of the most preferred ways to find strong stocks in any type of market. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.
Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.
One company to watch right now is Tyson Foods (TSN - Free Report) . TSN is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A.
Investors should also note that TSN holds a PEG ratio of 0.70. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. TSN's PEG compares to its industry's average PEG of 1.48. Over the past 52 weeks, TSN's PEG has been as high as 0.94 and as low as 0.30, with a median of 0.72.
Another valuation metric that we should highlight is TSN's P/B ratio of 1.03. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This stock's P/B looks attractive against its industry's average P/B of 1.49. Over the past 12 months, TSN's P/B has been as high as 1.24 and as low as 1.01, with a median of 1.11.
Value investors also use the P/S ratio. The P/S ratio is calculated as price divided by sales. This is a preferred metric because revenue can't really be manipulated, so sales are often a truer performance indicator. TSN has a P/S ratio of 0.36. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 0.67.
Finally, investors should note that TSN has a P/CF ratio of 7.77. This figure highlights a company's operating cash flow and can be used to find firms that are undervalued when considering their impressive cash outlook. This stock's P/CF looks attractive against its industry's average P/CF of 9.03. Within the past 12 months, TSN's P/CF has been as high as 12.12 and as low as 7.59, with a median of 8.75.
These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that Tyson Foods is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, TSN feels like a great value stock at the moment.
