Is Tyson Foods stock undervalued or overvalued?

Tyson Foods's P/E ratio

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 26x. In other words, Tyson Foods shares trade at around 26x 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 PEG ratio

Tyson Foods's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.4987. 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.

Tyson Foods share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 63.55% 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 27 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Tyson Foods's shares ever split?

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.

Tyson Foods share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Tyson Foods's shares have ranged in value from as little as $49.4917 up to $66.3612. 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).
