(Reuters) -Tyson Foods missed Wall Street expectations for third-quarter revenue and profit on Monday, hurt by falling chicken and pork prices as well as slowing demand for its beef products.

The company said it is closing four more U.S. chicken plants in the latest bid to reduce costs. Shares were down nearly 6% premarket.

Tyson has already cut corporate jobs and shuttered other chicken plants this year as it struggles with declining profits and reduced demand from consumers squeezed by inflation and higher interest rates.

The company hiked prices last year to offset spiraling feed and labor costs, but has been hit in 2023 by lower prices in core protein segments, such as pork. The company has also struggled to predict sales and previously said reduced demand for beef made it difficult to pass on higher costs to consumers.


"Chicken, beef and pork all face different types of macro and market challenges," Chief Financial Officer John R. Tyson said in an interview. "That's persisted for a little while."

Net quarterly sales fell 3% to $13.14 billion, below analysts' expectations of $13.59 billion, according to Refinitiv data. The company's average sales prices fell 16.4% for pork and 5.5% for chicken, while rising 5.2% for beef.

"Domestic consumers continue to look for lower-cost protein alternatives, trading down from higher-cost proteins like pork or reducing overall protein consumption," agricultural lender Rabobank said in July.
 

America First Legal (AFL) filed a shareholder lawsuit against Target on Tuesday in response to the retailer’s Pride merchandise that resulted in significant backlash, boycotts, and a drop in stock price.

Target locations across the country famously stunned customers in May when massive June Pride month displays were unveiled featuring everything from female-style swimsuits that can be used to "tuck" male genitalia to mugs that said "gender fluid." The polarizing Pride merchandise also includes onesies and rompers for newborn babies, a variety of adult clothing with slogans such as "Super Queer," party supplies, home decor, multiple books and a "Grow At Your Own Pace" saucer planter.

Many customers were outraged, and boycotts caused a variety of banks to downgrade Target's stock. Target’s market value was over $74 billion before the Pride displays made national news, as tracked by Dow Jones Market Data Group. As of Wednesday, Target is valued at $60.3 billion.

"However, management only cared whether its leftist ‘stakeholders’ were satisfied, disregarding the possibility that its customers and shareholders might feel differently. Thus, in May 2023, Target embraced the radical transgender agenda with its children-and-family-themed ‘Pride’ marketing and sales campaign – the corporation’s infamous ‘Pride’ collection included clothing for young children… this predictably caused more than a $12 billion collapse in share value, the largest stock price decline in over 20 years," the group wrote when announcing the suit.
