Tyson’s Fourth-Quarter Success Balances Losses in Other Divisions
Tyson was able to surprise Wall Street with its fourth-quarter earnings in November, thanks to a turnaround in its chicken business, which more than made up for the decline in its beef division.
At the beginning of the year 2023, Tyson has shut down six chicken plants in the United States, as well as a pork facility in Iowa and a beef and pork plant in Emporia, Kansas, which has resulted in the termination of thousands of employees.
