Tyson Foods may report a 34% net income boost when the company reports second quarter earnings on May 5. Market watchers predict quarterly net income of $296 million, better than the $220 million in the same period of 2024.

Revenue is forecast at $13.123 billion for the Springdale-based global meat company, up 0.5% from a year ago.

Stephens Inc. expects Tyson to outperform the market consensus, earning 85 cents per share, noting chicken profitability is better than expected. But the beef segment is likely to be a drag on overall results. Stephens analyst Pooran Sharma said there have been no signs of heifer retention and he expects pressure over the near to intermediate term for meat packers as beef margins continue to struggle.

First-quarter net income expected to fall 55% for Tyson Foods

Tyson Foods may post lower profits when it reports first-quarter earnings on Monday (Feb. 5.) Net income is forecast at $142.094 million, or 40 cents per share, down 55% from the year-ago period, according to a consensus of analyst estimates.

Revenue is projected at $13.36 billion, up less than 1% from the $13.26 billion reported a year ago. While the Springdale-based meat giant continues to face earnings challenges, Stephens Inc. analyst Ben Bienvenu is a little more optimistic for the rest of the year.

“We think chicken fundamentals are positioned to show improvement through this year, with margins headed toward historical average profitability, a welcomed change after a difficult last year. But given the length of the beef cycle, shares are trading at discounted levels. As we move through the next several years we think improving earnings power will increasingly push Tyson Foods shares higher,” Bienvenu noted.
