Tyson Foods held an investor presentation in May 2017 to discuss their strong financial performance and outlook. The presentation highlighted Tyson's three-year total shareholder return far exceeding their peer set. However, following an acquisition of AdvancePierre Foods, Tyson would prioritize debt repayment over share repurchases until reaching their target leverage ratio. Tyson occupies a unique position with differentiated capabilities to capitalize on changing consumer demand for protein. They lead across food channels and categories with expertise throughout the agriculture and food industry.
