Tyson Foods (TSN) Queued for Q1 Earnings: Things to Note

TSN FRPT K PFGC

Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN - Free Report) is likely to witness year-over-year growth in the top line when it reports first-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Feb 6. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $13,102 million, suggesting an increase of 1.3% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.

However, Tyson Foods’ quarterly bottom line is likely to decline year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has moved down by a couple of cents to $1.44 per share over the past 30 days. The projection indicates a slump of 49.8% from the figure reported in the prior-year quarter. Tyson Foods has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 18.4%, on average. This renowned meat products company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 4.1% in the last reported quarter.

 

Things To Note

Tyson Foods is benefiting from its focus on operational and supply chain efficiency programs. Solid customer and consumer demand for its brands and products amid rising protein consumption have been working in TSN’s favor. Strength in the company’s omnichannel capabilities has also been contributing to the upside. Tyson Foods is seeing continued growth in the retail core business and greater demand in the foodservice business. We believe that the continuation of these aspects bodes well for the quarter to be reported.

However, Tyson Foods has been battling rising cost inflation for a while, which is marring its margin performance. In this regard, escalated cost of goods throughout the business, including feed ingredients, labor, live animals and freight costs, is a concern. Tyson Foods’ international presence keeps it exposed to unfavorable currency fluctuations. The persistence of such hurdles might have hurt Tyson Foods’ performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
