Hormel Foods (HRL) to Report Q2 Earnings on May 28 with 2.5% Revenue Growth Projected

Hormel Foods (NYSE:HRL) will report fiscal second-quarter results on May 28, 2026, before the market opens. The packaged foods company is expected to post a 2.5% year-over-year revenue increase, reversing flat growth in the same period last year and improving on the prior quarter's 1.3% rise to $3.03 billion, which missed Wall Street estimates. Analyst expectations have held steady over the last 30 days. Hormel has missed revenue forecasts multiple times over the past two years. The stock has declined 2.5% in the past month to $20.93, well below the average analyst price target of $25.13. Peer earnings offer a mixed signal: Hershey grew revenue 10.6% and beat estimates by 2.4%, while Mondelez advanced 8.2% and topped views by 3%. However, shelf-stable food shares have underperformed recently, with the sector down 3.7% on average over the last month.
