Minnesota, Austin-based Hormel Foods Corporation (HRL - Free Report) is a prominent meat products firm, conducting trade in the global consumer goods sector. The company sells superior-branded high-quality convenient, nutritious and flavorful edible products to its global customers.
Currently, HRL has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) but that could change following its first-quarter fiscal 2018 (ended January 2018) earnings report which has just released.

Earnings: HRL beat on earnings. Adjusted earnings per share came in at 56 cents per share, higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents.
Revenue: Revenues of $2,331.3 million came below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,403 million
Key Stats: HRL claimed that the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of the United States would help in boosting up its profitability in the upcoming quarters.

However, HRL noted that ongoing turkey market challenges and higher freight costs would continue to hurt its results going forward.
Based on the existing market conditions, the company has reaffirmed its sales guidance for 2018 at $9.7-$10.1 billion range. However, adjusted earnings view for fiscal 2018 is increased to $1.81-$1.95 per share range, higher than the prior guidance of $1.62-$1.72 per share.
