How we got this number
Each model asks a different question about TSN's value. Tap any one to see the exact math — every number comes from a real SEC filing.
2 of 3 models say overvalued. The PEG Ratio gives a more favorable view because TSN's strong growth justifies a higher P/E than the other models assume.
Has TSN ever been cheap? (price vs fair value)
Fair value vs actual stock price over the last ~2.5 years. The shaded area is the "hope premium" — what buyers pay above fundamentals, betting on future growth.
Tyson Foods Inc - Class A is now priced below what all 3 models see as fair value — a 2% discount. That doesn't make it a sure buy — cheap stocks can get cheaper, and there may be good reasons for low prices. But from a valuation view, the gap suggests it's worth a closer look.

About the Fair Value Calculator
This tool estimates intrinsic value using three independent models: the Graham Number (earnings × book value), a PEG-Adjusted fair P/E approach, and an Earnings-Based DCF that projects future earnings. All three are averaged for a composite fair value with upside or downside versus market price.
Using multiple models matters — one formula never tells the full story. When all three point in the same direction, the signal gains weight.
How It Works
Graham Number: sqrt(22.5 × EPS × Book Value) — a conservative upper bound based on earnings and net asset value.
PEG-Adjusted: Computes a fair P/E by matching the growth rate (PEG benchmark of 1.0), then applies that to current earnings.
Earnings-Based DCF: Projects future earnings, prices them using the sector median P/E, then discounts back to today.
The composite averages all three equally. Model fitness ratings tell you which results to trust most for this stock.
Is Tyson Foods Inc - Class A Fairly Priced?
ExampleThree valuation methods were applied to Tyson Foods Inc - Class A (TSN) using live SEC filing data. Each one asks a different question — and they don't always agree.
Graham Number — Benjamin Graham's formula: sqrt(22.5 × EPS × Book Value). For TSN with EPS of $1.33 and book value of $51.22, the Graham Number lands at $$39.15. This model was designed for asset-heavy firms — it often sets a low floor for asset-light companies.
PEG Ratio — Peter Lynch's insight: a stock's P/E should match its growth rate. TSN grows earnings at -10.0% per year, so a fair P/E of 121.4x gives a PEG-adjusted fair value of $$161.41. The market P/E of 121.4x is lower than what growth justifies.
Earnings-Based DCF — Projects earnings 5 years forward at -10.0%, prices the future stock using the Consumer Defensive sector median P/E of 20x (not TSN's own inflated multiple), then discounts back at 8%. Result: $$10.69.
| Model | Fair Value | vs. Market Price ($68.75) |
|---|---|---|
| Graham Number | $39.15 | 76% above |
| PEG-Adjusted | $161.41 | 57% below |
| Earnings-Based DCF | $10.69 | 543% above |
Two of three models agree on direction. PEG Ratio disagrees — TSN's strong growth justifies a higher P/E than the other models assume. This is common and doesn't invalidate the signal — check the model fitness ratings above to see which results fit TSN best.
Frequently asked questions
The Fair Value Calculator runs three separate models on every S&P 500 stock. The Graham Number uses earnings and book value to find a safe price floor. The PEG Ratio checks if the P/E ratio matches earnings growth. The Earnings-Based DCF projects future earnings and brings them back to today's value. We average all three for a combined fair value, and show how much they agree.
