Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Hormel Foods Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the last three months, Hormel Foods’ shares have underperformed and look overvalued compared to the industry. The company reported lackluster third-quarter fiscal 2017 results.  Hormel Foods noted that price inflation of major inputs like pork bellies and beef trim, as well as the ongoing Jennie-O Turkey Store segment issues stemmed the downside. However, company is poised to grow on the back of its diversified product portfolio. Higher demand for major brands such as Skippy and Justin’s, lucrative marketing programs are expected to boost near term revenues. Moreover, meaningful acquisitions and strategic growth oriented investment programs are also anticipated to underpin near term results. Over the last 7 days, Zacks Consensus Estimate for the stock remained unchanged for both fiscal 2017 and 2018." (9/11/2017)
• 2. Credit Suisse Group analysts commented, "We are maintaining our FY 17 EPS estimate of $1.72. Our estimate for 10% EPS growth in FY 18 indicates our conviction that the benefit to Hormel’s value-added products from higher raw material availability (even if it comes from third parties) outweighs the negative from lower fresh pork margins as new industry capacity comes on-line."
