Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

$85.77 $41.08 Fair Value $55.28 Jun 2021 Sep 2026

White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 31, 2026.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $41.08 – $85.77 · fair‑value band $41.46 – $69.10 · the $51.76 price screens below the $55.28 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average.

Analysis

Tyson Foods Inc (TSN) currently trades at $51.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $55.28, implying the stock looks roughly 6.4% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the Growth DCF group reads highest at a median of $38.67 per share, and 3 of the 24 models we run sit above the $51.76 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at $8.89, and 21 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Tyson Foods Inc generated revenue of $55.7B at a net margin of 0.8%. Revenue grew 4.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 2.6%. Net debt stands at $7.6B. Fundamentals as of Aug 31, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $41.46 (bear case) to $69.10 (bull case); at $51.76, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 25% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 18% fair-value upside, at 7%, TSN screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
