Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) released its first quarter earnings report on Monday, February 3. While the company topped analyst estimates, the food company’s stock traded down by over 1% following the release of the report.

Tyson posted revenue of $13.62 billion for the quarter, up 2.3% from $13.32 billion reported in the same quarter last year. First quarter revenue was above the $13.46 billion that analysts expected.

"Fiscal year 2025 is off to a strong start, as we delivered our third consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in sales, operating income, and EPS," said Tyson Foods CEO, Donnie King. "Our best quarterly performance in more than two years reflects improved execution across the business, including exceptional results in chicken. Consumers remain focused on adding protein to their diets, and our diversified multi-channel, multi-protein portfolio ensures we are well-positioned to meet this demand while reinforcing our leadership as a world-class food company."

For the first quarter, the company posted net income of $359 million or $1.03 per adjusted share. This is an increase from net income of $107 million or $0.31 per adjusted share this time last year.

The Arkansas-based food company includes brands such as Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm and Ball Park. The company experienced a sales volume increase in some segments: 5.6% in Beef, 1.5% in Chicken and 4.3% in International sales. The company, however, had a decline of 0.4% and 3.2% in sales of Pork and Prepared Foods respectively. Operating income increased 3.6% in Pork, 8.6% in Chicken and 8.5% in Prepared Food while decreasing 1.2% in Beef.
