Thanks to these adversities, management lowered its fiscal 2019 earnings view. It now expects the bottom line in the range of $5.30-$5.70 per share compared with the earlier projection of $5.75-$6.10. Coming back to the headwinds, commodity market volatilities are likely to lead to higher input costs, as witnessed in the third quarter for the beef, pork and prepared foods units. Moreover, lower sales in the prepared foods category, triggered by business divestitures, have been exerting pressure on Tyson Foods' performance. Wrapping Up Despite these headwinds, we are encouraged about the company's strong portfolio that includes well-known brands. Moreover, the company is on track with the Financial Fitness Program, which focuses on boosting operational efficiencies. Earlier, management stated that it expects the program to generate savings worth $400 million by 2019 and $600 million by 2020. All said, such upsides are likely to maintain Tyson Foods' position in investors' good books.
