If you believe HRL should trade closer to TSN P/E multiples given its superior margins and ROIC, then buy HRL because TSN-implied P/E produces an implied price of $40.33 (64% upside) while HRL shows materially higher profitability (e.g., gross margin 15.6% vs 6.5% and ROIC 7.1% vs 4.3%).
HRL's TSN-implied P/E valuation suggests an implied price of $40.33 versus the current $24.60 (64% upside), placing the stock well below the top of TSN-implied band and inside its historical trading band. However, valuation is mixed: HRL trades cheaper than Tyson on P/E but at higher multiples on P/S and EV metrics, indicating the gap depends on multiple choice.
