Recent Company History

Over the last five earnings-related events since Dec 4, 2024, Hormel has reported steady net sales around the $3 billion quarterly level, but with profitability pressure emerging in fiscal 2025. Q1–Q3 2025 results showed modest organic growth and detailed guidance ranges, while the FY2024 release highlighted record operating cash flow and continued dividend growth. A CEO retirement announcement and subsequent quarterly updates drew mixed share reactions, underlining that leadership changes and margin trajectory both influenced prior trading ahead of new earnings.
