US: Tyson Foods reports strong first-quarter 2025 results amid rising poultry demand

Strong demand for chicken products contributed significantly to Tyson's overall financial success. The company reported total sales of $13.62 billion for the quarter, up 2.3% year over year, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.14, up 65% year over year. CEO Donnie King attributed the results to consumers' continued focus on including protein in their diets and emphasized Tyson's diversified, multi-protein portfolio as a key factor in meeting that demand.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) projects domestic chicken production to grow 3% in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. Tyson Foods expects its chicken segment to report adjusted operating income of $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion in fiscal 2025, reflecting confidence in robust demand and effective operating strategies.

This positive outlook underlines the company's commitment to meeting consumer demand for high-quality poultry products while maintaining its leading position in the global protein market.
