Description: TSN Tyson Foods October 16, 2025
Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN) is a global food company organized into four primary segments-Beef, Pork, Chicken, and Prepared Foods-covering the entire value chain from live animal processing to finished, ready-to-eat products.
In the Beef and Pork segments, Tyson transforms live cattle and hogs into primal and sub-primal cuts, case-ready meat, and fully cooked items; the Chicken segment handles everything from breeding stock to fresh, frozen, and value-added chicken products such as breaded strips and nuggets; the Prepared Foods segment manufactures a broad portfolio of frozen and refrigerated items-including sandwiches, burgers, breakfast meats, and ethnic dishes-under brands like Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, and Ball Park.
Distribution is diversified across grocery retailers, wholesalers, warehouse clubs, military commissaries, food-service operators (restaurants, schools, hospitals), and international export markets, with sales also supported by independent brokers and trading firms.
Key performance indicators to watch include Tyson’s 2023 net sales of roughly $13.2 billion, an EBITDA margin hovering near 7 %, and its pork segment’s sensitivity to feed-cost volatility-a major driver in the packaged meats sector. Additionally, the company’s exposure to consumer trends toward protein alternatives and value-added convenience foods can materially affect growth prospects.
For a data-rich, quantitative deep-dive on Tyson’s valuation metrics and scenario analysis, the ValueRay platform offers tools that can help you model these drivers more precisely.
