Heading into today, shares of the meat producer had lost 7.28% over the past month, lagging the Consumer Staples sector's loss of 1.53% and the S&P 500's gain of 1.18% in that time.

Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $11.11 billion, up 9.04% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $6.75 per share and revenue of $46.37 billion. These totals would mark changes of +23.63% and +9.34%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for TSN. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988.
