The S&P 500 was on track for double-digit earnings growth, with more than half of companies having reported Q4 results so far.

The fourth quarter earnings season is more than halfway over, and the S&P 500 is on track for solid earnings growth. As of Feb. 6, 59% of S&P 500 (^GSPC) companies have reported fourth quarter results, according to FactSet data, and Wall Street analysts estimate a 13% increase in earnings per share for the fourth quarter. If that rate holds, it would represent the 10th consecutive quarter of annual earnings growth for the index and the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. S&P 500 earnings growth estimates. (Chart: FactSet) Heading into the reporting period, analysts were expecting an 8.3% jump in earnings per share, down from the third quarter's 13.6% earnings growth rate. Wall Street has raised its earnings expectations in recent months, especially for tech companies, which have driven earnings growth in recent quarters. Massive Big Tech capital expenditures set the tone for the AI trade. Plus, the themes that drove the markets in 2025 — artificial intelligence, the Trump administration's tariff and economic policies, and a K-shaped consumer economy — continue to provide plenty for investors to parse. This week, investors will digest results from Coca-Cola (KO), Spotify (SPOT), Robinhood (HOOD), Lyft (LYFT), Ford (F), Rivian (RIVN), Moderna (MRNA), Airbnb (ABNB), and Coinbase (COIN).

Today at 1:00 PM UTC Grace O'Donnell Monday.com stock dives over 14% as guidance disappoints Monday.com shares tanked 14% after the software maker beat earnings estimates but posted guidance that disappointed Wall Street. In the fourth quarter, Monday.com reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.04, beating estimates of $0.92. Revenue grew 25% year over year to $333.9 million, also beating expectations of $329.6 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence consensus estimates. However, the company's first quarter revenue guidance of $338 million to $340 million came in below expectations of $342 million. Operating income is expected in a range of $37 million to $39 million, compared to the $45 million the Street was expecting. The stock faced significant losses recently as part of a sell-off in software stocks, as investors questioned whether the disruption from artificial intelligence could take a bigger bite out of these companies' profits than previously expected. Year to date, Monday.com stock is down 33%. Today at 12:49 PM UTC Grace O'Donnell Cleveland-Cliffs stock drops after revenue misses estimates Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) stock fell more than 3% after fourth quarter revenue missed expectations. The steel producer recorded a net loss per share of $0.44, which was narrower than the $0.60 loss Wall Street was expecting, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue of $4.3 billion fell short of estimates of $4.5 billion. Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves cited weakness in the auto sector, a "value-destructive" slab contract, and a negative situation in the Canadian market as reasons for the revenue miss. “Our performance in 2025 was negatively affected by persistently weak production levels from the automotive sector throughout the entire year, an expiring five-year slab contract becoming value-destructive during its last year, and a newly adverse dynamic in the Canadian market," Goncalves said in a statement. "Fortunately, as we started 2026, these negative situations have all improved." In the fourth quarter, Cleveland-Cliffs had 3.77 million net tons in steel shipments, compared to 3.8 million tons in the same period a year earlier. For 2026, Cleveland-Cliffs expects to ship 16.5 million to 17 million tons of steel.

Thu, February 5, 2026 at 9:18 PM UTC Grace O'Donnell Strategy reports quarterly loss as the stock gets crushed by bitcoin sell-off Strategy stock (MSTR) tumbled 17% on Thursday before taking another 1% hit after-hours following the release of its fourth quarter earnings. The software company led by Michael Saylor pioneered the model for companies to hoard bitcoin in corporate treasuries. These days, it’s seen as an investment proxy for bitcoin, with that side of the business becoming its organizing principle. The gambit seemed to work last year when bitcoin advanced higher and higher on hopes of easier regulation. But as the sell-off in bitcoin intensified on Thursday, it highlighted the risks in Strategy's long-term holding strategy that could make it harder for the company to raise capital. Strategy currently holds 713,502 bitcoins with an average purchase price of $76,052. On Thursday, bitcoin's spot price fell to around $63,000, bringing the company's unrealized losses to about $8.9 billion. "HODL," Saylor tweeted on Thursday, referring to a tongue-in-cheek term in the crypto community that has evolved to mean "hold on for dear life." For the fourth quarter, Strategy reported an operating loss of $17.4 billion, compared to an operating loss of $1 billion in Q4 2024. It also reported a net loss of $12.4 billion, or $42.93 per share, well below the $5.5 billion loss to $6.3 billion profit range the company indicated in December, when it slashed its forecast from a net profit of $24 billion. The Street was expecting a loss of $20.99 per share. In the software operations, revenue increased 1.9% year over year to $123 million, driven by strong growth in product licenses and subscription services. In December, Strategy also created a US dollar reserve worth $2.25 billion, which the company said provides more than two and a half years of funds to cover its dividend. Remarking on the reserve, CFO Andrew Kang said that "Strategy’s capital structure is stronger and more resilient today than ever before.” Listen to Strategy's earnings call live on the stock quote page. Thu, February 5, 2026 at 1:32 PM UTC Grace O'Donnell Peloton posts lackluster quarter amid turnaround efforts Peloton (PTON) stock tumbled more than 9% in premarket trading after the connected fitness company reported a lackluster holiday quarter that failed to deliver results and shared that its CFO Liz Coddington would be departing. For the fiscal second quarter, Peloton recorded a basic loss per share of $0.09, wider than the $0.06 loss expected. Revenue was $656.5 million in the quarter, below expectations for $675.1 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Subscriptions to its connected fitness service dropped 7% year over year to 2.66 million after the company raised prices at the beginning of October. Peloton also forecast a challenging quarter ahead as the company transforms its product lineup and tries to stabilize shrinking sales. The company has added new features to its lineup, including a CrossFit training series, as it attempts to revamp offerings. In its fiscal third quarter, Peloton expects subscriptions to decrease by 8% year over year to a range of 2.65 million to 2.67 million. Revenue is expected to come in between $605 million and $625 million, a 1% decline year over year.

Wed, February 4, 2026 at 10:01 PM UTC Grace O'Donnell E.l.f. Beauty stock jumps on upbeat profit guidance E.l.f. Beauty (ELF) demonstrated resilience in the fourth quarter following a difficult 2025, with a strong earnings beat and guidance raise. The affordable cosmetics manufacturer lifted its full-year 2026 sales outlook to a range of $1.6 billion to $1.61 billion from its previous range of $1.55 billion to $1.57 billion. The company also sees greater earnings per share of $3.05-$3.10, an increase from the previous range of $2.80-$2.85. The stock soared by as much as 14% in after-hours trading as the company looks to regain its footing after higher tariffs and other challenges led the stock to lose 40% in 2025. However, the stock pared some of those gains, perhaps due to lower gross margins amid ongoing tariff costs. Last year, the company also acquired Hailey Bieber's Rhode brand. In the fourth quarter, e.l.f. reported better-than-expected earnings per share of $0.65 versus $0.55 expected by Wall Street analysts. Net sales jumped 38% to $489.5 million, topping estimates of $461 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. "Our value proposition, powerhouse innovation and disruptive marketing engine continue to fuel our brands," CEO Tarang Amin said in a statement. "We remain confident in our ability to grow market share and deliver best-in-class growth in beauty, as reflected by our raised fiscal 2026 outlook." Read more about e.l.f.'s quarter from Reuters.

Wed, February 4, 2026 at 9:27 PM UTC Grace O'Donnell Qualcomm stock dives as memory chip shortage weighs on financial outlook Qualcomm (QCOM) stock fell around 8% in extended trading after the chip designer's results beat on the top and bottom lines but its forecast was lighter than expected. A memory chip shortage stemming from data center developers scooping up chips and chipmakers shifting production to cater to AI demand added pressure to the company's outlook. In the fiscal first quarter, the company said revenue increased 5% year over year to $12.3 billion, while earnings per share rose to $2.78. Qualcomm beat analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines, with consensus estimates forecasting $12.1 billion in revenue and earnings per share of $2.75, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. However, the outlook for the fiscal second quarter dimmed as a supply crunch in memory chips weighs on margins and the smartphone market. Second quarter revenue is expected in the range of $10.2 billion to $11 billion (analysts were looking for $11 billion at the midpoint). Adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $2.45 to $2.65 (the Street was hoping for $2.87). "While our near-term handsets outlook is impacted by industry-wide memory supply constraints, we are encouraged by end-consumer demand for premium and high tier smartphones, and remain on track to achieve our fiscal 2029 revenue goals,” Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said in the earnings release. Wed, February 4, 2026 at 4:30 PM UTC Jake Conley The backlog just keeps growing,' Eaton CEO says as data center orders tripled During the fourth quarter earnings call for power management giant Eaton Corporation (ETN), CEO Paulo Ruiz Sternadt said the company's backlog of orders "just keeps growing" and projected a continued firehose of demand as the AI arms race powers on. Data center orders at Eaton roughly tripled in the fourth quarter over the prior year, while the backlog for its "Electrical Americas" division grew by 31% quarter-on-quarter to hit a new record, Sternadt said during the call on Tuesday. Eaton's stock price spiked after the report and is up by more than 6% over the past five trading sessions and by more than 16% on the year. Eaton reported fourth quarter revenue at $7.05 billion, outperforming revenue of $6.24 billion from a year ago but falling below analysts' expectations of $7.09 billion. On the bottom line, the company reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.33 per share, outperforming estimates of $3.32 per share. Talking about Eaton's strong order backlog, Sternadt attributed much of the company's success to the demand from AI hyperscalers. "You probably noticed on recent news from the hyperscalers that they reconfirmed their capex plans for 2026 — this is also great news that supports these projects," Sternadt said. "Multi-tenant and new cloud players, they are so active, never seen them so active as they are today. If I'm to summarize the market picture here, lots of strength, and these projects will take years to complete. So that's what gives us the optimism in the future."

The medical device maker's adjusted profit per share forecast was between $4.95 and $5.15. Analysts were expecting guidance of $4.92 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. For 2026, GE HealthCare also expects revenue growth in the range of 3% to 4% year over year. The stock popped 6% in morning trading on Wednesday. From Reuters: Read more here.

Revenue increased 9.3% year over year to $10.4 billion, beating estimates of $10.2 billion. Ahead of the report, Jefferies analyst Scott Marks wrote that Mondelez is in a transitional phase as it seeks to stabilize volume declines and reinvest in its brands. Some relief may be on the way for the higher commodity prices that have plagued chocolate and food companies over the past year. In the past month, cocoa prices (CC=F) have fallen 27%, which is expected to ease pressure on margins. For the full year, Mondelez earnings per share dropped 44% to $1.89 from $3.42 in 2024. For 2026, the company expects net revenue growth to be flat to up 2% and adjusted earnings per share growth to be flat to up 5%.

Michael Novogratz's digital assets-focused financial services firm reported a fourth quarter adjusted loss per share of $1.08, falling below analyst estimates for a loss per share of $0.92. Galaxy Digital also missed on revenue for the quarter, reporting $10.2 billion in revenue against analyst estimates of $12.15 billion.

Galaxy Digital also noted that its digital assets trading volumes declined by approximately 40% quarter-on-quarter, "reflecting softer client activity following a record Q3." In Galaxy Digital's data center division, the company said it "remains on track to deliver 133MW of critical IT load to CoreWeave in the first half of 2026" and that it "received ERCOT approval for an additional 830 MW of power capacity," bringing the total approved capacity for its Helios campus to 1.6 gigawatts. bringing Helios’ total approved capacity to more than 1.6 gigawatts.

Mon, February 2, 2026 at 12:24 PM UTC Brooke DiPalma Tyson Foods beats quarterly profit estimates as chicken demand offset 'all-time high' beef prices Tyson Foods reported better-than-expected first quarter results on Monday before market open, boosted by volume growth in chicken that offset the decline in beef. The volume "shortfall" in beef alone was roughly 133 million pounds from the fourth quarter to the first quarter, CEO Donnie King told Yahoo Finance exclusively in an interview. The major decline was countered by growth in chicken, pork, its prepared business like Jimmy Dean, and the international segment, leading to a net decline of 22 million pounds overall. Chicken prices fell 0.10% during the quarter, while beef prices surged more than 17.2%. "The prices we paid for cattle were at an all-time high," King said, adding that cutout prices — the estimated value of the carcass based on wholesale cuts like rib, chuck, round, loin, brisket, and flank — were "very high." In November, the company announced the closure of a beef facility in Lexington, Neb., and said it plans to lower production at its beef plant in Amarillo, Texas. King said the closures will be reflected in the second quarter results and are in an effort to "rightsize" its footprint and reflect what "cattle availability would be in the future." Cattle supply is down 1% compared to last year, per the USDA, and King expects supply to remain "tight" throughout 2026 and 2027. For 2026, the company expects sales to increase 2% to 4% year over year, alongside adjusted operating income between $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion. Tyson's expects an operating loss for beef of between $250 million and $500 million, excluding the facility closure. Operating income for chicken is expected to be positive, between $1.65 billion and $1.9 billion.

Monday.com shares tanked 14% after the software maker beat earnings estimates but posted guidance that disappointed Wall Street. In the fourth quarter, Monday.com reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.04, beating estimates of $0.92. Revenue grew 25% year over year to $333.9 million, also beating expectations of $329.6 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence consensus estimates. However, the company's first quarter revenue guidance of $338 million to $340 million came in below expectations of $342 million. Operating income is expected in a range of $37 million to $39 million, compared to the $45 million the Street was expecting. The stock faced significant losses recently as part of a sell-off in software stocks, as investors questioned whether the disruption from artificial intelligence could take a bigger bite out of these companies' profits than previously expected. Year to date, Monday.com stock is down 33%.

Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) stock fell more than 3% after fourth quarter revenue missed expectations. The steel producer recorded a net loss per share of $0.44, which was narrower than the $0.60 loss Wall Street was expecting, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue of $4.3 billion fell short of estimates of $4.5 billion. Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves cited weakness in the auto sector, a "value-destructive" slab contract, and a negative situation in the Canadian market as reasons for the revenue miss. “Our performance in 2025 was negatively affected by persistently weak production levels from the automotive sector throughout the entire year, an expiring five-year slab contract becoming value-destructive during its last year, and a newly adverse dynamic in the Canadian market," Goncalves said in a statement. "Fortunately, as we started 2026, these negative situations have all improved." In the fourth quarter, Cleveland-Cliffs had 3.77 million net tons in steel shipments, compared to 3.8 million tons in the same period a year earlier. For 2026, Cleveland-Cliffs expects to ship 16.5 million to 17 million tons of steel.

Strategy stock (MSTR) tumbled 17% on Thursday before taking another 1% hit after-hours following the release of its fourth quarter earnings. The software company led by Michael Saylor pioneered the model for companies to hoard bitcoin in corporate treasuries. These days, it’s seen as an investment proxy for bitcoin, with that side of the business becoming its organizing principle. The gambit seemed to work last year when bitcoin advanced higher and higher on hopes of easier regulation. But as the sell-off in bitcoin intensified on Thursday, it highlighted the risks in Strategy's long-term holding strategy that could make it harder for the company to raise capital. Strategy currently holds 713,502 bitcoins with an average purchase price of $76,052. On Thursday, bitcoin's spot price fell to around $63,000, bringing the company's unrealized losses to about $8.9 billion. "HODL," Saylor tweeted on Thursday, referring to a tongue-in-cheek term in the crypto community that has evolved to mean "hold on for dear life." For the fourth quarter, Strategy reported an operating loss of $17.4 billion, compared to an operating loss of $1 billion in Q4 2024. It also reported a net loss of $12.4 billion, or $42.93 per share, well below the $5.5 billion loss to $6.3 billion profit range the company indicated in December, when it slashed its forecast from a net profit of $24 billion. The Street was expecting a loss of $20.99 per share. In the software operations, revenue increased 1.9% year over year to $123 million, driven by strong growth in product licenses and subscription services. In December, Strategy also created a US dollar reserve worth $2.25 billion, which the company said provides more than two and a half years of funds to cover its dividend. Remarking on the reserve, CFO Andrew Kang said that "Strategy’s capital structure is stronger and more resilient today than ever before.” Listen to Strategy's earnings call live on the stock quote page.

Peloton (PTON) stock tumbled more than 9% in premarket trading after the connected fitness company reported a lackluster holiday quarter that failed to deliver results and shared that its CFO Liz Coddington would be departing. For the fiscal second quarter, Peloton recorded a basic loss per share of $0.09, wider than the $0.06 loss expected. Revenue was $656.5 million in the quarter, below expectations for $675.1 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Subscriptions to its connected fitness service dropped 7% year over year to 2.66 million after the company raised prices at the beginning of October. Peloton also forecast a challenging quarter ahead as the company transforms its product lineup and tries to stabilize shrinking sales. The company has added new features to its lineup, including a CrossFit training series, as it attempts to revamp offerings. In its fiscal third quarter, Peloton expects subscriptions to decrease by 8% year over year to a range of 2.65 million to 2.67 million. Revenue is expected to come in between $605 million and $625 million, a 1% decline year over year.

E.l.f. Beauty (ELF) demonstrated resilience in the fourth quarter following a difficult 2025, with a strong earnings beat and guidance raise. The affordable cosmetics manufacturer lifted its full-year 2026 sales outlook to a range of $1.6 billion to $1.61 billion from its previous range of $1.55 billion to $1.57 billion. The company also sees greater earnings per share of $3.05-$3.10, an increase from the previous range of $2.80-$2.85. The stock soared by as much as 14% in after-hours trading as the company looks to regain its footing after higher tariffs and other challenges led the stock to lose 40% in 2025. However, the stock pared some of those gains, perhaps due to lower gross margins amid ongoing tariff costs. Last year, the company also acquired Hailey Bieber's Rhode brand. In the fourth quarter, e.l.f. reported better-than-expected earnings per share of $0.65 versus $0.55 expected by Wall Street analysts. Net sales jumped 38% to $489.5 million, topping estimates of $461 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. "Our value proposition, powerhouse innovation and disruptive marketing engine continue to fuel our brands," CEO Tarang Amin said in a statement. "We remain confident in our ability to grow market share and deliver best-in-class growth in beauty, as reflected by our raised fiscal 2026 outlook." Read more about e.l.f.'s quarter from Reuters.

Qualcomm (QCOM) stock fell around 8% in extended trading after the chip designer's results beat on the top and bottom lines but its forecast was lighter than expected. A memory chip shortage stemming from data center developers scooping up chips and chipmakers shifting production to cater to AI demand added pressure to the company's outlook. In the fiscal first quarter, the company said revenue increased 5% year over year to $12.3 billion, while earnings per share rose to $2.78. Qualcomm beat analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines, with consensus estimates forecasting $12.1 billion in revenue and earnings per share of $2.75, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. However, the outlook for the fiscal second quarter dimmed as a supply crunch in memory chips weighs on margins and the smartphone market. Second quarter revenue is expected in the range of $10.2 billion to $11 billion (analysts were looking for $11 billion at the midpoint). Adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $2.45 to $2.65 (the Street was hoping for $2.87). "While our near-term handsets outlook is impacted by industry-wide memory supply constraints, we are encouraged by end-consumer demand for premium and high tier smartphones, and remain on track to achieve our fiscal 2029 revenue goals,” Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said in the earnings release.

During the fourth quarter earnings call for power management giant Eaton Corporation (ETN), CEO Paulo Ruiz Sternadt said the company's backlog of orders "just keeps growing" and projected a continued firehose of demand as the AI arms race powers on. Data center orders at Eaton roughly tripled in the fourth quarter over the prior year, while the backlog for its "Electrical Americas" division grew by 31% quarter-on-quarter to hit a new record, Sternadt said during the call on Tuesday. Eaton's stock price spiked after the report and is up by more than 6% over the past five trading sessions and by more than 16% on the year. Eaton reported fourth quarter revenue at $7.05 billion, outperforming revenue of $6.24 billion from a year ago but falling below analysts' expectations of $7.09 billion. On the bottom line, the company reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.33 per share, outperforming estimates of $3.32 per share. Talking about Eaton's strong order backlog, Sternadt attributed much of the company's success to the demand from AI hyperscalers. "You probably noticed on recent news from the hyperscalers that they reconfirmed their capex plans for 2026 — this is also great news that supports these projects," Sternadt said. "Multi-tenant and new cloud players, they are so active, never seen them so active as they are today. If I'm to summarize the market picture here, lots of strength, and these projects will take years to complete. So that's what gives us the optimism in the future."

GE HealthCare (GEHC) reported better-than-expected profits in the fourth quarter and issued a 2026 financial outlook ahead of Wall Street's estimates, as the company expects stronger demand and fewer tariff-related cost impacts this year. The medical device maker's adjusted profit per share forecast was between $4.95 and $5.15. Analysts were expecting guidance of $4.92 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. For 2026, GE HealthCare also expects revenue growth in the range of 3% to 4% year over year. The stock popped 6% in morning trading on Wednesday. From Reuters: Read more here.

Mondelez International's (MDLZ) profits declined in the fourth quarter and full year 2025 as soaring cocoa prices throughout the year and consumers snacking less created some profitability headwinds. Shares of the Ritz cracker and Oreo cookie maker dropped more than 4% in extended trading. In the fourth quarter, Mondelez reported earnings per share of $0.51, falling short of expectations of $0.68 per share, according to consensus estimates compiled by S&P Global. Revenue increased 9.3% year over year to $10.4 billion, beating estimates of $10.2 billion. Ahead of the report, Jefferies analyst Scott Marks wrote that Mondelez is in a transitional phase as it seeks to stabilize volume declines and reinvest in its brands. Some relief may be on the way for the higher commodity prices that have plagued chocolate and food companies over the past year. In the past month, cocoa prices (CC=F) have fallen 27%, which is expected to ease pressure on margins. For the full year, Mondelez earnings per share dropped 44% to $1.89 from $3.42 in 2024. For 2026, the company expects net revenue growth to be flat to up 2% and adjusted earnings per share growth to be flat to up 5%.

Shares in Galaxy Digital (GLXY) fell by more than 4% after the company disclosed Tuesday morning that it lost nearly $500 million and posted negative adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter, driven by "depreciation of digital asset prices in the quarter."

Galaxy Digital also missed on revenue for the quarter, reporting $10.2 billion in revenue against analyst estimates of $12.15 billion. The company said in a press release announcing the earnings that its loss in crypto-driven revenue reflects "a softer macro environment and lower industry trading volumes and onchain activity." Galaxy Digital also noted that its digital assets trading volumes declined by approximately 40% quarter-on-quarter, "reflecting softer client activity following a record Q3." In Galaxy Digital's data center division, the company said it "remains on track to deliver 133MW of critical IT load to CoreWeave in the first half of 2026" and that it "received ERCOT approval for an additional 830 MW of power capacity," bringing the total approved capacity for its Helios campus to 1.6 gigawatts. bringing Helios’ total approved capacity to more than 1.6 gigawatts.

Tyson Foods reported better-than-expected first quarter results on Monday before market open, boosted by volume growth in chicken that offset the decline in beef. The volume "shortfall" in beef alone was roughly 133 million pounds from the fourth quarter to the first quarter, CEO Donnie King told Yahoo Finance exclusively in an interview. The major decline was countered by growth in chicken, pork, its prepared business like Jimmy Dean, and the international segment, leading to a net decline of 22 million pounds overall. Chicken prices fell 0.10% during the quarter, while beef prices surged more than 17.2%. "The prices we paid for cattle were at an all-time high," King said, adding that cutout prices — the estimated value of the carcass based on wholesale cuts like rib, chuck, round, loin, brisket, and flank — were "very high." In November, the company announced the closure of a beef facility in Lexington, Neb., and said it plans to lower production at its beef plant in Amarillo, Texas. King said the closures will be reflected in the second quarter results and are in an effort to "rightsize" its footprint and reflect what "cattle availability would be in the future." Cattle supply is down 1% compared to last year, per the USDA, and King expects supply to remain "tight" throughout 2026 and 2027. For 2026, the company expects sales to increase 2% to 4% year over year, alongside adjusted operating income between $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion. Tyson's expects an operating loss for beef of between $250 million and $500 million, excluding the facility closure. Operating income for chicken is expected to be positive, between $1.65 billion and $1.9 billion.
