Tyson Foods Q4 sales up 2.2%, but GAAP EPS falls 87% to $0.13 on legal charges
Tyson Foods reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 sales of $13,860 million, up 2.2%, and adjusted EPS of $1.15, up 25%, while GAAP EPS fell to $0.13 from $1.00 a year earlier. The company also gave a fiscal 2026 outlook for total adjusted operating income of $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion and raised its quarterly dividend, so shareholders face a mix of higher adjusted results, a sharp GAAP profit decline and a guided adjusted operating income range that sits below fiscal 2025's $2,287 million.
