The global meat market is expected to hit $1.55 trillion in revenue for 2025, growing at about 6.23% each year. But even with that kind of growth, Tyson Foods (TSN) is having a rough time, especially with its beef business, which has run into some of the toughest conditions the company says it’s ever seen.
When a steady dividend stock like Tyson admits it’s facing the“most challenging” conditions ever in its beef business, people naturally pay attention. Tyson is a major force in the U.S. food industry, with over $53 billion in yearly sales and a market value close to $20 billion, but its stock hasn’t kept up with the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) this past year. TSN stock is down 5.9% over the past 52 weeks while the index rose 8.5%.
