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 outpaced the industry in the past three months. The company is gaining on solid advertising, innovation and synergies from the buyouts of Columbus, Fontanini and Ceratti. Further, continued strength in its Refrigerated Foods segment has been aiding Hormel Foods. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, Refrigerated Foods benefited from value-added growth, effective pricing and innovation. However, results were affected by the Grocery Products unit’s dismal show, which was hit by CytoSport’s divestiture. Moreover, the International unit was hurt by soft pork exports and input cost inflation. Hormel Foods continues to battle input cost headwinds stemming from the African swine fever and global trade volatility. Also, the company expects elevated protein prices for fiscal 2020."
