traveler1116/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Introduction Back when I first covered Hormel Foods Corporation ( HRL ), I called them a “Dividend King That's Too Cheap To Ignore At Decade Lows,” highlighting their solid dividend yield and strong fundamentals, with a portfolio that can adapt to some of the ongoing trends and risks in the industry, potentially allowing them to continue their slow and steady growth trajectory. With the stock now down about 12.5% since then, the valuation seems to take into account significant levels of risk, while the company remains in a healthy financial position and should be able to keep paying and increasing their dividend in the long run. Business As Usual, So Far Hormel Foods Corporation IR Despite the ongoing macro pressure, HRL’s latest report was fine overall, with a slight beat on EPS and a small miss on the market’s revenue estimates , with a 1.6% increase in net sales, marked by a 7.4% increase in foodservice and 7.7% internationally against a 1.8% drop in retail, while the free cash flow reached a solid $280.22 million. Hormel Foods Corporation IR For the rest of FY26, HRL continues to expect net sales of $12.2 billion to $12.5 billion, a 1% to 4% increase in organic net sales growth, and $1.43 to $1.51 in Adj. Diluted EPS, while the adjusted operating income would grow by a strong 4% to 10% to $1.06 billion to $1.12 billion while recently selling their whole-bird turkey business to further streamline operations and reduce their exposure to commodities. The CAPEX is also still expected to reach $260 million to $290 million in FY26, below last year's $310.9 million, potentially boosting their FCF alongside their inventory normalization following the build-up in 2025. Meanwhile, the company's long-term goals continue to target 2% to 3% organic net sales growth and 5% to 7% operating income growth, with a specific focus on their protein-centric portfolio. Hormel Foods Corporation IR Financially, based on HRL’s latest report...

Hainan Airlines Holding Co. is looking to return to the bond market after going through a debt restructuring more than four years ago, according to people familiar with the matter. The airline, formerly a prized asset of defunct conglomerate HNA Group Co. , is seeking to raise as much as 500 million yuan ($73.2 million) through the potential onshore offering, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the matter is private. Company representatives started approaching investors in recent weeks to gauge interest in a possible sale of five-year notes, the people said. The potential offering has been in the planning stages for at least a year, they added. The bond sale would be a test of whether Chinese investors have an appetite for debt issued by distressed companies that have emerged from restructurings. It could serve as a useful reference point for other such firms considering returning to the domestic bond market. Hainan Airlines didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. Hainan Airlines got creditors’ approval for its debt restructuring in 2021, after it proposed paying the first 100,000 yuan of each bondholder’s claims, among other things. It has been controlled by Liaoning Fangda Group Industrial Co. since then. The restructuring followed HNA’s collapse after years of expansion fueled by excessive borrowings in the early 2010s, when it spent more than $40 billion acquiring luxury properties and stakes in firms including Deutsche Bank AG and Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. Efforts to offload assets and refocus on aviation failed to salvage the company, particularly as Covid wreaked havoc on airlines, hastening the conglomerate’s demise . Hainan Airlines has been rebuilding its business since the restructuring and as of last year operated over 1,400 routes worldwide along with its subsidiaries, according to its website .
