$HRL (+1,51 %)

$HRL (+1,51 %) Hormel Foods was the "driver" yesterday. 6 quarters in a row negative.... Steadily increased my position (currently 2500 shares) and believed in the company.... Yesterday's quarterly report, expectations met or exceeded... Price increase per share €2.20...

$UPS (+1,32 %) was also able to gain...

$HRL (+1,51 %) Dividend for 1500 shares have now been increased to 2500 shares...

I have noticed that shares in food manufacturers are somehow not in demand at all at the moment. Why is that? Consumer staples and food should actually offer a certain degree of resilience in turbulent times, as people always eat regardless of economic growth and the economy. So why is this sector just bobbing around like this?

Here are a few examples:

$ULVR (+0,54 %) Unilever, YTD = -9.1% , P/E=18.3, Divi = 4%

$NESN (+0,44 %) Nestle, YTD = + 2.4%, P/E=22.4, Divi = 4%

$HRL (+1,51 %) Hormel Foods, YTD = -11% , P/E=23.3 , Divi = 5.7%

$GIS (+0,4 %) General Mills, YTD = -21.8%, P/E=8.6 , Divi = 6.8%

$KHC (+0,01 %) Kraft Heinz, YTD = -3.1% , P/E=negative , Divi = 6.8%

$FLO Flowers Foods, YTD = -20% , P/E=21.81 , Divi = 11.5%

$NOMD (+1,42 %) Normad Foods, YTD = -17.2% , P/E=9.8 , Divi = 6.8%

$TBS (-1,39 %) Tiger Brands, YTD = -20% , P/E=12 , Divi = 11.4%

I understand that many branded companies are coming under increasing pressure from the discounters' own brands when the economy is bad, but is that really the whole truth?

$HRL (+1,51 %) meanwhile 2500 shares🙈. I am still convinced of Hormel Foods, the turnaround is coming... High dividend yield, safe for decades!!!!

$HRL (+1,51 %) I believe in Hormel. Hormel Foods is undergoing some changes. The sale of the low-margin areas has been completed. The changes will be felt in a few months....
