An analyst at Miller Tabak downgraded shares of Smithfield Foods (NYSE: SFD) from Buy to Neutral Thursday morning. The firm's price target was lowered from $26 to $24.
The analyst cited rising corn and soybean prices, and a decline in the price of wholesale pork. Miller Tabak believes a constriction in hog supplies recently could help Smithfield during the quarter, however, the surge in grain prices will likely offset any gains.
With shares of Smithfield down 2.6 percent to $21.03 at last check, Miller Tabak's new price target represents potential upside of about 14 percent.
