Tyson Foods raised its full-year revenue guidance after beef and chicken volume gains pushed profit and sales higher than expected in the fiscal first quarter.
The largest U.S. meat supplier said it now expects revenue for the full fiscal year to be flat to up 1% from last year. The company said in November that revenue would be flat year-over-year or decline as much as 1%. Tyson also bumped up its fiscal 2025 adjusted operating income outlook.
For the quarter ended Dec. 28, the company posted a profit of $359 million, or $1.01 a share, up from $107 million, or 30 cents a share, in the same period a year ago.
Stripping out one-time items, adjusted earnings were $1.14 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had been expecting 90 cents a share.
Sales rose 2.3% to $13.62 billion, above analyst projections for $13.46 billion, according to FactSet.
Volumes were up 5.6% for Tyson's beef business, its biggest revenue contributor. Chicken volumes were up 1.5%, while volumes slipped for the smaller pork and prepared foods segments.
