Tyson Foods' Aug. 13 Quote: Price, Yield and Market Cap

As of the Aug. 13, 2026 quote, Tyson Foods shares were trading in a range of $56.22 to $56.99, giving the Springdale, Arkansas-based protein producer an intraday market capitalisation of roughly $19.84 billion.

The stock carried a forward dividend of $2.04 per share, equivalent to a 3.66% forward yield. The company operates through four segments — Beef, Pork, Chicken, and Prepared Foods — and sells under brands including Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park and Wright.

Additional figures from the quote page include a five-year expected PEG ratio of 1.04, enterprise value/EBITDA of 10.48, and trailing twelve-month return on equity of 3.26%. The page references trailing total returns compared with the S&P 500 but does not publish the actual return figure in this data extract.

This is a valuation snapshot rather than a fresh news event, so it is best read as a checkpoint on how the market is currently pricing the company, not as a change in Tyson's outlook.

Reading Tyson's Yield, Profitability and Valuation Data

What the Forward Yield Does and Does Not Signal

The 3.66% forward yield is a direct arithmetic reflection of a $2.04 annualised dividend against a share price near $56.50. For income-focused investors, it is a useful current-return benchmark. But the source does not publish the payout ratio or free cash flow, so the yield alone is not evidence that the dividend is safe or likely to grow.

Return on Equity Looks Thin for a Large-Cap

A trailing return on equity of 3.26% is low. In Tyson's case, this likely reflects the margin-heavy and cyclical nature of beef, pork and chicken processing, where input costs and protein prices can compress quarterly profitability. However, without segment-level earnings detail, the figure should be treated as a trailing profitability snapshot, not a permanent measure of management quality.

Valuation Context: PEG and EV/EBITDA

The five-year expected PEG of 1.04 is close to the rule-of-thumb level where valuation is broadly in line with expected earnings growth, while the EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.48 gives an enterprise-level view of the market's pricing relative to operating cash flow before debt and capital structure effects. Since the page does not provide peer multiples, direct comparisons to competitors cannot be made from this source alone.
