Michael Lavery, an analyst at Piper Sandler, pointed to below-the-line factors that had a -$0.13 impact on the company’s third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings. These were somewhat mitigated by increased chicken margins, which added $0.04.

The firm also emphasized the continued pressure in Tyson’s beef division, where challenging spreads and a limited supply of cattle contribute to maintaining consensus estimates about 100 basis points higher than Piper Sandler’s forecasts.
