Hormel Foods Corp beat second-quarter sales and profit estimates after strong demand for chicken and turkey products drove revenue to $2.97 billion. The results exceeded the $2.95 billion average analyst estimate and triggered an 8% share price increase in premarket trading on May 28. Sustained demand for protein-rich staples suggests Hormel is successfully capturing shifts in consumer spending toward home-cooked meals.
