uploads///Tyson Foods Revenue versus Estimates

Revenue will likely fall

Tyson Foods (TSN) is expected to report lower revenue of $9.33 billion in 3Q16. It indicates a YoY (year-over-year) decline of 7%. The export markets are expected to be challenged moderately in 2016. This could hamper the revenue.

Analysts expect a fall in revenue in 4Q16 as well. In 4Q16, it’s projected to report lower revenue growth of 10%. The fiscal 2016 revenue is expected to be ~$37.15 billion—a fall of 10% YoY.

Expectations for 2016

Management’s projection for sales remains intact at ~$37 billion for fiscal 2016. It includes the impact of fiscal 2015 divestitures and declining beef, pork, and feed prices. This would put pressure on the average selling prices for the products. Management expects its Prepared Foods segment to benefit the most in 2016.

Domestic protein production (chicken, beef, pork, and turkey) is estimated to increase ~2%–3% from the levels in fiscal 2015. This could put pressure on protein pricing. Export growth is expected to be moderate. Despite the fall in revenue, the company continues to execute its strategy of growing in value-added categories.
