Packaged meat products maker Hormel (NYSE: HRL) has performed steadily in 2020. Its shares have risen by more than 16% year to date, and are up by more than 30% from their early pandemic low point of late February.

Yet let's see whether another COVID-19 outbreak could knock it off its stride and what a post-pandemic world might have in store.
