Hormel Foods Corporation reported mixed Q2 fiscal 2026 results. Net sales rose to $2.97 billion, up 2.5%, but diluted EPS fell to $0.29, down 12.1%. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 14.3% to $0.40, reflecting stronger underlying operations.
Total segment profit grew 12.6% to $333.6 million, with Retail, Foodservice, and International all improving, helped by better turkey network performance and export strength. However, a $61 million loss on the sale of the whole-bird turkey business weighed on GAAP earnings and boosted SG&A.
For the first six months, net sales reached $6.0 billion (up 1.9%) and diluted EPS was $0.62 versus $0.64. Operating cash flow strengthened to $528 million, a 44% increase, aided by more favorable working capital. The company continues a restructuring and Transform and Modernize initiative while managing higher logistics and legal costs.

Adjusted operating income increased to $293.7 million, and adjusted operating margin improved to 9.9%. All three segments posted organic net sales and profit growth, led by Foodservice and International. Cash flow from operations was $179 million, and the company returned $161 million to shareholders through dividends.
