Valuing Tyson Foods stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tyson Foods's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Tyson Foods's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 29x. In other words, Tyson Foods shares trade at around 29x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
Tyson Foods's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.54. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Tyson Foods's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Tyson Foods.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 47.69
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Tyson Foods's overall score of 47.69 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 97th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Tyson Foods is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 21.8/100
Tyson Foods's environmental score of 21.8 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Tyson Foods is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 18.79/100
Tyson Foods's social score of 18.79 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Tyson Foods is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 18.6/100
Tyson Foods's governance score puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Tyson Foods is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Dividend payout ratio: 63.23% of net profits
Recently Tyson Foods has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Tyson Foods shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Tyson Foods's case, that would currently equate to about $1.96 per share.
Tyson Foods's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Tyson Foods's most recent dividend payout was on 13 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Tyson Foods's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 17 February 1997 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Tyson Foods shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Tyson Foods shares which in turn could have impacted Tyson Foods's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Tyson Foods's shares have ranged in value from as little as $45.318 up to $66.88. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Tyson Foods's is 0.775. This would suggest that Tyson Foods's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
