Hormel Foods reported a “solid” first fiscal quarter for 2026, achieving 2% organic net sales growth and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.34, primarily driven by strong performances in Foodservice and International segments. The company faced challenges from commodity inflation, particularly in beef and pork trim, and increased logistics costs, which pressured gross profit. Hormel also announced the sale of its whole-bird turkey business to reduce exposure to volatile, low-margin operations and reaffirmed its full-year guidance, expecting restructuring savings to begin in Q2.
