The Motley Fool August 25, 2005 Stephen D. Simpson	Hormel: Something to Chew On Hormel Foods still generates free cash flow while straddling commodity and branded foodstuffs. Investors, take note.

The Motley Fool May 25, 2006 Stephen D. Simpson	Hormel Still Tasty Because it's more a user of protein as opposed to a producer of it, Hormel can actually benefit from the oversupply of protein that has sent the prices of chicken, beef, and hogs down a fair bit. Don't shares of this well-run company ever get cheap?
The Motley Fool November 30, 2005 Stephen D. Simpson	Smithfield: A Meaty Investment? Exports and value-added production hold promise, but this is still a commodity-focused business. While Smithfield doesn't seem overpriced, it's also not a top-notch idea for new money right now.

The Motley Fool November 16, 2004 W.D. Crotty	Tyson Foods Is Looking Cheap Rising sales, higher-margin products, and falling debt levels characterize Tyson Foods.

The Motley Fool February 27, 2006 Stephen D. Simpson	Follow the Money to Hormel This may be the best-run meat company out there. However, its stock price reflects a lot of that, and it doesn't seem to be quite as interesting as an oversold value idea.
The Motley Fool June 22, 2011 Jordan DiPietro	Should You Buy and Hold Hormel Foods? Hormel Foods has a beta of 0.3, which is pretty low. Generally speaking, I like to see a beta below 1.2 for retirees. In this case, Hormel Foods fits the bill.

The Motley Fool November 22, 2004 W.D. Crotty	M'm! M'm! Could Be Better! Campbell Soup turns in a good quarter, but there are better alternatives. Their $0.52-a-share earnings forecast missed the estimate by four pennies.
The Motley Fool November 18, 2006 Rick Aristotle Munarriz	The Fool's Look Ahead Monday: Key companies like Campbell Soup and Lowe's will post their quarterly reports early...

The Motley Fool August 27, 2007 Lawrence Rothman	H.J. Heinz's Appetizing Results The condiment maker offers tasty earnings numbers to investors.
The Motley Fool August 23, 2006 Stephen D. Simpson	Smithfield Seems Fresher The pork producer looks like it's doing a little better in this protein glut. The stock has been a real trouper over the years -- easily outdistancing Hormel and Tyson. And yet the legacy of returns on invested capital is not all that great.
The Motley Fool January 30, 2006 Stephen D. Simpson	Tyson Gets Gored This could end up being good news for people who were watching these stocks with an eye toward buying in on bad news. Today's price action might push Tyson below a price-to-book ratio of 1, and that's not something that happens all too often.
