What are Wall Street analysts saying about Hormel Foods stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Hormel Foods stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Hormel Foods’ shares have underperformed the industry in the past three months. Volatility in tariff rates is denting the company’s fresh pork export volumes. Global trade uncertainties continue to pose hurdles for pork exports. Moreover, reduced retail volumes are a headwind for Hormel Foods’ Jennie-O Turkey Store segment. These headwinds along with input cost inflation stemming from African swine fever in China, among other factors, compelled management to slash guidance for fiscal 2019. Nevertheless, Hormel Foods boasts a strong brand portfolio, which is fueling its refrigerated foods performances. Further, the company is focusing on effective advertising and innovations. It also engages in buyouts to boost portfolio. In this respect, the buyouts of Columbus, Fontanini and Ceratti businesses are yielding results." (7/26/2019)
