Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 42. Momentum is soft: below the neutral 50 line, but not yet oversold.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price is below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of a downtrend.
Volume is only 0.1x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: ranging / no clear structure.
The most recent swing high is $65.33 and the swing low is $49.30; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 1.04, which looks reasonably priced for its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 1.0% and revenue growth of -0.1%.
In its latest quarter it earned $0.99 per share, which matched the $0.99 analysts expected, with revenue -0.1% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 2.6 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "hold", with an average price target of $68.75.
The next earnings report is expected around Nov 9, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Research notes
Tyson Foods (TSN) bulls point to resilient Chicken and Prepared Foods momentum, with management still guiding Chicken adjusted operating income to $1.9 billion–$2.05 billion and the company generating $913 million of nine-month free cash flow while reducing debt by $824 million. Bears focus on the Beef business, where cattle shortages and high input costs are driving a projected full-year operating loss of $(650) million to $(500) million**, and Tyson is shrinking that footprint through plant closures and asset sales.
A major recent catalyst was Tyson’s Q3 2026 earnings update, which showed $13.87 billion in sales, $0.52 GAAP EPS, and a raised full-year revenue growth outlook of 2.5% to 3.5%; despite that, the stock traded near $56.55 and still sat below the midpoint of the analyst target range. Analyst sentiment remains cautious overall, with the consensus around Hold and average price targets in the high $60s to low $70s.
