Hormel Foods’ Road Map for Future Growth

Hormel Foods (HRL) has established a road map to boost its financial performance in a challenging food and beverage environment. The food and beverage space is being negatively impacted by inflation in commodity prices, a consumer preference shift to organic and healthy foods, and the rise of private label products. Increasing costs and stiffening competition are weighing on the bottom lines of major food retailers, including Hormel Foods, Conagra Brands (CAG), and the Campbell Soup Company (CPB).
