#HormelFoods Q4 FY2024 #EarningsReport Summary | $HRL (-0,33 %)

Hormel Foods faced challenges such as inflationary pressures, declines in turkey commodity markets, and production disruptions at a Virginia facility. However, strategic initiatives like the Transform and Modernize (T&M) program and innovative product launches offset these headwinds, enabling strong operational performance.

📊 Income Statement Highlights (vs Q4 FY2023):

▫️ Net Income: $220.20M vs $195.93M (+12.37%)

▫️ Total Revenue: $3.14B vs $3.20B (-1.88%)

▫️ Adjusted EPS: $0.42 (flat YoY)

▫️ Gross Profit: $521.23M vs $514.43M (+1.32%)

▫️ Operating Income: $294.48M vs $270.04M (+9.06%)

▫️ Adjusted Operating Margin: 9.8% (unchanged YoY)

Segment Performance:

▫️Retail: Volume down 5.5%; net sales down 3.8%. Adjusted profit up 28.88%. Growth in SPAM, Jennie-O, and Black Label brands offset declines in snacking and ready meals.

▫️Foodservice: Volume up 1.7%; net sales up 1.3%. Profit down 7.91% due to margin pressures in premium and poultry products.

▫️International: Volume down 9.5%; net sales up 1.4%. Segment profit surged 184.51%, driven by China recovery and export margins.

💼 Balance Sheet Highlights (vs FY2023):

▫️ Total Assets: $13.43B (flat YoY)

▫️ Total Liabilities: $5.03B (-3.90%)

▫️ Cash and Cash Equivalents: $741.88M (+0.73%)

▫️ Inventories: $1.58B (-6.20%)

▫️ Long-term Debt: $2.85B (+20.85%)

🔮 Future Outlook:

Hormel expects FY2025 net sales between $11.9B-$12.2B (+1%-3% organic growth). Projected operating income is $1.13B-$1.23B, with incremental T&M initiative benefits of $100M-$150M. Challenges include ongoing turkey market weakness and snack nut supply constraints in early quarters, with recovery expected mid-year.

Another bargain that nobody seems to be interested in (yet).

Let's see if that changes at the beginning of next year 😉

@Epi Well, investment idea... 😅
First of all, Hornel Foods is a food company. It produces and markets many branded foods.

With a market cap of 2 billion, there is still some room for upside, which makes the company more of a small to mid-cap.

In general, some sectors have not done very well this year. Healthcare and biotech were not too popular, nor were consumer staples like Hormel.
Hormel's growth has been quite slow, and margins cannot really be increased.
The chart also shows a terrible 1-year yield. This means that the company is now as cheap as it was in mid-2018.

And now it's getting exciting 🚀
Because I am betting on a turnaround, as the company is fundamentally healthy and the business model is stable.
Dividends have been paid for 96 years and increased for 57 years, which gives Hornel shares the title of dividend king!

More precisely, I am trying to exploit a "window dressing" effect. This means that active fund managers are throwing poorly performing shares (Hormel is one of them) out of their portfolios in order to improve their annual financial statements. According to the motto "What, we didn't have these loser stocks in our fund".
At the beginning of the next year, these very stocks often rise more strongly again.

If this increase does not yet take place in January, I am also prepared to hold the 3.5% dividend on Hormel shares for longer until they recover 🙂👏💸

Tesla ($TSLA (+2,7 %)) - Tesla's cyber truck may be delayed again. The Cybertruck, which was unveiled in 2019 with a lot of attention, was originally supposed to be available in 2021, then it was postponed to 2022 and now it disappears completely from Tesla's website. It can only be assumed what the reason for this is, possible reasons would be the chip shortage, the complex design of the truck or simply that Tesla is already not keeping up with the current demand. Elon Musk would like to provide information about this at the quarterly report on 26.01.

The largest German Dax companies are currently buying back their own shares in record amounts. In total, it is about almost 17 billion euros. The sums of share buybacks in Germany were last this high shortly before the financial crisis. Only recently, Adidas ($ADS (-0,82 %)) , BASF ($BAS (-0,4 %)) and Linde ($LIN ) announced buyback programs in the mid-single-digit billions. Also the Dax newcomer Hello Fresh ($HFG (+2,02 %)) also wants to buy back shares worth 250 million euros.

Bitcoin ($BTC (-2,48 %)) - A Tesla Model 3 owner told CNBC he has been using his Tesla to mine Bitcoin. By his own account, he earned about $800 a month from it. He ran free bitcoin mining software on his Apple Mac mini M1 and powered his computer through a port in the center of his vehicle's console. In addition to that, he used several GPUs that he connected to his Tesla. He used the car's internal battery as a power source. However, experts doubt the profitability of the project.

The Tesla does not do the mining, but the graphics cards (which are not installed as standard). The standard computing power of the M 3 should not be enough for meaningful mining.

Expansion of the position. Since the purchase of the 1st position in 01/2017, it has almost only gone sideways. The long-term chart is nevertheless a dream, 10% p.a. in the last 20 years, 2.1% dividend yield (which is increased by 15% annually!) and the currently favorable valuation (Corona is having an impact here, plus rising meat prices) make me confident here.
