Read MoreHide Full Article

Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN - Free Report) is likely to register top- and bottom-line growth when it reports third-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings on Aug 5. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $13.2 billion, suggesting an increase of 0.2% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has moved up by a penny in the past 30 days to 61 cents per share. The projection indicates significant growth from 15 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. TSN has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 24.4%, on average.

Things To Note

The company is leveraging its multi-protein portfolio of well-known brands amid rising global protein demand. Management’s focus on brand building and innovations continues to yield. The company is benefiting from operational enhancements while making incremental improvements in yield and live operations. Ongoing productivity initiatives based on procurement, logistics and digitalization continue to solidify its fundamentals. The continuation of these trends is likely to have benefited TSN’s performance in third-quarter fiscal 2024.

However, the company is not immune to macroeconomic headwinds. The uncertainty related to consumer behavior, coupled with the unpredictable progression of the cattle cycle and fluctuating commodity costs, cast shadows of doubt on its performance. Adding to the complexity are seasonal trends in pork and prepared foods, further complicating matters. These aspects suggest potential challenges for the quarter under review.
