On Jan. 29, Tyson Foods
- Net sales increased by 1.6%, as a result of volume surges in the beef, chicken, and pork segments.
- Management recognized Tyson's new Cost Management Initiative as a primary driver of the company's net profits, also decreasing selling, general, and administrative expenses by $44 million.
- Tyson Foods is only a 1-star stock in CAPS, our new interactive stock database; apparently our CAPS community doesn't think Tyson will out-grill the S&P 500.
