How Tyson stock ended the week
Tyson Foods shares last closed at $55.45 on the New York Stock Exchange on 06/18/2026, according to trading data that show the session ending at 16:00 Eastern Time. TradingKey provides the latest close and risk metrics.
The stock has traded in the mid-50 dollar range in recent sessions, reflecting a period of consolidation after this year’s earnings reset and ongoing cost-efficiency efforts across Tyson’s beef, pork and chicken operations.
Friday focus on sector and peers
On Friday the focus shifts to how Tyson compares with other large US packaged food and protein companies, many of which also face soft volumes and changing consumer demand after the pandemic period.
Versus a broad US equity benchmark like the Standard & Poor's 500 index, which is driven heavily by technology and growth stocks, Tyson tends to trade more like a defensive consumer staples name with lower beta and more muted price swings. Risk assessment data point to a beta around 0.38.
How the risk profile stacks up
Risk metrics compiled by TradingKey put Tyson’s current risk assessment score at 9.41, ranking 6 out of 95 companies in the Food & Tobacco industry by that methodology. The TradingKey profile highlights volatility and financial risk indicators.
The relatively low beta of 0.38 in that overview underlines that Tyson shares historically move less than the broader market, a pattern that many investors consider typical for large-cap consumer staples stocks exposed to everyday spending.
What the company sells
Tyson Foods generates most of its revenue from processing and selling beef, pork and chicken products, including branded items such as Tyson chicken nuggets and other frozen prepared foods to retail, foodservice and institutional customers worldwide.
