JPMorgan Downgrades Tyson (TSN) to Neutral, $12 Target

November 11, 2009 7:46 AM EST

JPMorgan downgrades Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) from Overweight to Neutral. The firm also reduced its price target from $14 to $12.

The firm cited several reasons, including:

  • valuation
  • a pending increase in supply from Sanderson Farms (Nasdaq: SAFM), and
  • recent rises in the price of corn and hogs.
JPMorgan also noted that the downgrade is not a short call, rather a call that upside is already priced into the stock. The firm believes that Tyson will top the Street's estimates in Q3.
