RBC Capital analyst David Palmer lowered his price target on Tyson Foods to $77 and kept his Sector Perform rating, citing "greater than anticipated softness in chicken demand" leading to below-trend margins. The analyst also cites increased competition in pork processing and tariff uncertainty from the U.S. trade friction with Mexico and China potentially resulting in further margin compression. Palmer still expects profitability in the beef business to be above normal ranges and profit growth in Prepared Foods segment coming from the Advance Pierre synergies.
