    Hormel Foods Q3 Earnings Beat on Margin Expansion, Sales Miss

    Hormel Foods (HRL) reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate, largely due to margin expansion. However, the company missed sales expectations, with net sales falling 2.4% to $2,961.3 million.
