During the fiscal Q1 2026 earnings call, CEO Donnie King said first-quarter results showed progress, with sales rising above $14 billion. He said this reflected that the company’s strategy and ongoing initiatives were starting to deliver. He also shared that Tyson decided to shut down its Lexington, Nebraska, beef facility and scale back operations at its Amarillo, Texas, plant to a single shift. He explained that these steps were meant to improve beef capacity utilization and make the segment more competitive over time.

King pointed to the strength in retail-branded products. Volumes increased 2.5%, while sales rose 3.6%, ahead of the broader market. He highlighted growth across several brands, including Tyson fresh chicken, Hillshire Farm lunchmeats, Hillshire Snacking, and Aidells sausage.CFO Curt Calaway said total company sales grew 6.2% year over year to $14.3 billion. He attributed this mainly to the beef segment, with additional support from Prepared Foods, chicken, and pork. He added that segment operating income was $811 million, down 12% from the prior year. The decline came largely from weaker beef performance, though other segments helped offset part of the pressure. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.97, down 15% from last year.
