Tyson Foods Stock: Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) is one of the biggest meat processing companies in the world.
The company, which owns brands like Jimmy Dean, Ball Park, Hillshire Farm, and Aidell's, is the world's second-largest processor of poultry, pork, and beef, and the global leader in poultry production.
As a stock, the company has treated long-term investors well. Dating back to its IPO in 1963, the stock has appreciated by 45,100%, meaning that $1,000 invested in the stock back then would be worth roughly $450,000 today. More recently, the stock's gains have been more modest. It's only doubled over the last decade, underperforming the S 500 due in part to a sell-off over the last year on lower pork and beef prices and competitive industry dynamics.
