Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 45

Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN) is an American food company that operates worldwide. The company has four segments – Beef, Pork, Chicken, and Prepared Foods. On July 1, Piper Sandler analyst Michael Lavery lowered the price target on Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN) to $79 from $85 and reaffirmed an Underweight rating on the shares. The analyst said that Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN)’s short-term momentum in chicken will be completely negated by reduced margin forecasts in beef and pork. Greater feed costs have resulted in lower grade cattle, along with a drought and soaring grain costs that could possibly drive further liquidation in the short-term, giving way to supply constraints in 2023, the analyst told investors in a research note.
